A nine-year-old boy, Lane, is suffering a rare condition that causes him to be fascinated with vacuum cleaners, instead of toys like others his age.

In this condition, victims have advanced social skills, so they actually converse in a more mature manner like grown ups. He is more sociable than most kids his age.
Lane has collected a variety of household cleaners and has nearly 17 of them. He uses them as often as he can.
Lane’s father, Mark said, “We treat him to a visit to a shop as a reward for being good and it’s like watching an old man looking at a classic car. He studies every detail and knows all the different models, makes and product numbers. His room is full of hoovers and he has more in the garden. I think there’s more to come because he’s now gravitating toward carpet washers.”
Lane said: “I love cleaning and I do it every day. I love most hoovers and carpet cleaners – especially Henry.”
