How many enlargers do you have?

One. Omega super chromega II D on a D5 main body.

Two. A Beseler 45 MXT and a Minox enlarger. The Minox enlarger is quite small, as enlargers go. It doesn't need to be very big to handle 8x11mm film.

3 too many.

#1 is my first enlarger a 1970s Durst M600
#2 and 3 are Omega MF enlargers purchased to replace the Durst, one w a color head the other w a condenser head
#4 is a Durst L1000 w condenser head, finally a 4x5 enlarger
#5 is an Omega D5 w color head, always wanted one

Only #1 gets used right now, as it is the easiest to set up and break down in my temp darkroom (a half bath).
The others will wait for me to setup a permanent darkroom. Although now that I have a D5 I will probably sell one of the MF Omegas.

I plan to keep one MF Omega for 35mm+MF, and one of the 4x5 enlargers for 6x9 and 4x5.

Nineteen set up and a few spares around (Omega D5-XL's and Beselers23CII's...and a couple Beseler 4x5's) I have been taking care of them for the last 22 years and using them for 13 years before that (university).

You got me beat Vaughn.

Actually I do not use any of them much anymore...occasionally to print a 6x6 negs or two for fun. But I do own 5 UV light sources that I use for carbon printing and platinum printing (one NuArc, three 750W self-ballasted Merc vapor lamp set-ups, and a double lamp system (two side-by-side 175W ballasted merc vapor lamps). And the university has a couple 'pizza oven' style UV light systems (BL bulbs).

I have surprisingly few

One Durst CLS2000 (8x10") Vertical Enlarger
Two Durst 2501 AF (10x10") Horizontal Enlargers
Two Durst L1200 with the Ilford 500 Multigrade head (4x5")
One LPL 6x7 (not sure of the model as I Dont use it)

The largest size I can print by hand is 72inches x 245inches

oh...

an I just threw out about 30 enlargers..... can't keep'em all.

what's left?
too many - but I have students who tends to be happy when I donate an enlarger to them...

12 enlargers set up inthe darkroom - about the same waiting to be used (among them 4 Durst laborator 138)...

About 30

But I usually only print on the DeVere 504 with MG500 head.

Just the one now, a DeVere 54 converted to LED (documented somewhere here).

I did have an LPL/Saunders 6700 but I gave it away to a local school who wanted to enlarge their darkroom facilities.
