I'm terribly afraid that my voices have returned, and they are compelling me to name this Kirby THE GREAT KUBLA KHAN! Now, I must remind the reader that this is totally involuntary on my behalf...for I have lost all control!
do you name your vacuum?

the stores vacuum
To tell the the story properly Ill start from the begining the family purchased the store in 1997 when we came in there was a Tri Star in the back room we named "Pig" that we still to this day use for repairs and clean up its I believe a late 70s model and yes we have replaced the motor and lid latch but its been part of the business so long how could we get rid of it I find it humerous how customers will bring in a brand new dyson or eureka or Bissel thats all clogged up and all I have to do is pull out "the Pig" and a few seconds later, done. I always finish by saying "that'll do pig, that'll do" Btw loved the MR Mom cameo Jaws Was Sweet I actualy built a heritage II to look like it.

My Hoover 700 is called Bertie.
only one of them
Nope, mostly my "Staubsauger" are just "Staubis" (a diminuitive found in quite some many roomsharing situations or among youths, so regular informal German).
There is "Kühli" for "Kühlschrank" (fridge) as well, but no "Waschi"for washers (I wonder why).
The only vacuum having a personal name is my Vortech Force: "die Wildsau" (the wild hog) or "die Sau" for short. It is my only vacuum to really swallow things up (which you can hear), all others just clean pretty well.
Ok, the little bagged Dirt-Devil Broomy sometimes is called "Kirby adolescent" ;-))
The only large appliance having a name is our dishwasher: "Minna" (a very common female first name in the 20s, typical for "die Perle" (the "pearl" of the household; read: the cleaning lady, see pic)

I mostly use the legal name my vacuum was born to be "Kirby". I do how ever refer to "her" as my muscle building machine as "She" is a Heritage II or old reliable. And oh by the way "She" still performs great and there for my daily driver and best friend.

why would you call a wonderful, powerful, durable Oreck a "piece of ****" that would be like me calling a hoover a "piece of ****"
