Can someone find info on these vacs?

[eurus]

I came across a kijii post selling vacuums although for way more than I would pay but I am curious about these vacuums as they are very odd! Are they real or just movie props?
I shall include the pictures fron the ad in thia post but also include the url tp the ad itself.

I mean the first two are def mishmash of parts. Although Id love to know what the handle part of the "nuclear" lol wet dry kirby is from as it's very interesting looking.
I'm most interested in the red weird shaped vacuum and the central with the tv. I want to say that one is also a mishmash but Ive seen some weird retro combination appliances before.

Is that.....is that a Kirby lawnmower????????

Also I wonder if that R/C vacuum actually works or that is just for fun? That is an Atari 2600 controller so that clues you into the time period these were made.


It's tough to say if they are movie props without any actual movies or provenance. The seller seems a bit looney tunes. "I will clean them and sell them at a higher price if you don't pat me right now"

The red vacuum looks like it's made from a coffee can Hoover, and the vacuum with the TV is made from an Air-Way Sanitizor and a straight suction upright. Based on the seller's description, they seem to be art pieces of some sort. However, the real question is if any of them actually function.

They are every interesting! I like the Kirby "Hydrovac thing" and the Sanitizor with the straight suction upright as a "power nozzle."

They all look like something from a ride at Disney World!

Ah yes, the incredibly rare Kirby lawn mower attachment.

I looked up the air way sanitizor and it's definatly that. I didnt even notice that it had an upright as a power nozzle. Could that ever work? It would have two motors and fans for the suction. Oh oh the nuclear kirbys stick tool also looks like an upright! I still wonder what and where that middle part of it is. Looks like it has some sort of pressure valve.
The red one does look like those coffee can hoovers! I wonder where the other parts came from.
Some look like maybe they could work, but I wouldnt be surpised if none did. The "remote control" one i think if it worked it defiantly doesnt work as a vacuum as i dont see how it could suck up anything and also you'd need another motor to drive it. So if it does have a motor to power it, I think it would only be to drive ot around and nothing else.
The guy does seem wacky, i looked at some of his other ads after I posted and haha yeah very odd fellow.
Okay but if a kirby actually had a lawn mower attachment I'd be so happy.

Holy frankenvacs, Batman!!!

It could actually work with two fans if it was wired up. There was at least one vacuum I can think of that actually used a Eureka F&G upright as the power nozzle. I can't recall what it is but I know there are posts here and probably other brands as well.

Oh wow I wonder of those vacuums were any better since they had double the suction power although it must of been very heavy to lug around.

We actually used to have a couple of guys on here who made assemblages with vacuums, but I don't think either one of them made these. Their work had the appearance of being professionally done, where these appear to just be "slapped together." I know one of them was from Nebraska, and the other I believe was in Tennessee. But like I said, both of them did much better work than this. And I sure as heck wouldn't pay $1400 for the whole lot!

Yeah this guy has such crazy prices, I wanted to laugh. I think he's going for an "art" price.
Oh I'd be interested to see what those other guys made! I shall have to scour the site.
