Kyle Krichbaum, a 13-year-old from Adrian, has an unusual hobby: he collects vacuum cleaners. Plus he's a member of the Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Club. Krichbaum is a savant who can discern each model of vacuum cleaner from the other by sound alone. He is slated to appear on the new ABC game show "Wanna Bet" at 9 p.m. Krichbaum will attempt to identify vacuums by sound only.
The episode of "Wanna Bet" was filmed in March in Los Angeles. The show involves a celebrity panel and two judges. The celebrities bet on whether people performing various stunts can pull them off. Whichever celebrity has the most money at the end donated the cash to charity.
"It was quite tough," said Krichbaum, who isn't allowed by the show to reveal how he did. "Vacuum cleaners sound different in a big studio - we practice here at home."
He said his vacuum cleaner collection is now close to 200, stored in his parents' basement and in a shed behind their house.
Here's a clip of Kyle Krichbaum, vacuum savant, in action on the History Channel.
