I collect vacuums beacuse I feel sorry for them, I see them at the tip or on eBay or some other used items internet listing website and I see them in a right sorry state. They have been abused and most likely never cleaned in how ever many years and are just dumpped for a new one! So I come and "rescue" them and restore them so they can keep on going.
Perhaps that sounds witty but that is true. 
about the fasination for certain models and different feautres, I have no idea, we are all facinated by different things. (make of that what you please!)
I do like the way some vacuums look aswell, same reason a girl would love the look of a certain dress!
I have no idea why I really love vacuums and certain models, but there is nothing wrong with loving things that make us happy. (make of that what you please!)
