You are reading correctly, I did discover yesterday I am terrified of my vacuum cleaner. I was vacuuming my bedroom, something got stuck in the vacuum cleaner and I thought it was going to blow up on me. I was scared to vacuum the rest of my room, I freaked every time the thing made a sound. Other than its usual sucking sound of course. However I got over it and was able to clean the rest of my room. Perhaps next time I’ll make sure there aren’t any thumb tacks left lying around before I start vacuuming.

So… would this be considered vacuaphobia? Vacuuphobia? Oooh… I like this one… vacuatergeophobia (I made that up by adding the Latin word for “clean” as in “to wipe off”) Haha. Good story… and do be sure to look out for those thumb tacks.

I think i have a phobia of vacuum cleansers too. I dont know what it is called though. I always have a feeling that they are going to suck my toes off.

Vacuums sometimes can lose suction power because of a large obstruction. But I assure you that this is completely normal and usual. Vacuums really can’t break down that easy.

OMG.
I’ve been scared of vaccum’s for all my life.
I heard on the news someone chopped their toe off from a Vaccum
Whenever my mom comes by me with a vaccum I cry and jump on a piece of furniture
