Things are up and down at the moment. Scotland has remained, the rest of the UK want to leave. At the moment general public are confused by the Mickey Mouse antics displayed by the politicians.

Back onto Vorwerk talk, the adaptor arrived today from Amazon UK as did a suction combi floor head that allows my old Vorwerk to turn into a straight suction stick. I am impressed with how light the whole thing is with this type of floor head tagged on. The VK130 is light enough with the PN anyway, but this suction combi floor tool makes things even lighter and the pick up is good with the setting 2 or highest from the motor.

The suction combi is also the same floor head that is fitted to the Tiger canister vacs also by Vorwerk. There's a split channel on the suction channel but in reality its one main suction channel and presumably aids gliding with the central bar across the dust channel. Less likely to clog too.

I also received a Vorwerk bag with a lot of attachments and Kobosan brush cartridges. The hose is non-electric but to be honest I find the whole idea of the tools a bit cumbersome and time consuming. I dont mind the tools and they don't get used that often - same with putting the SEBO Felix into hand held mode - good idea in theory but in reality too cumbersome.

I have the original straight suction attachment for that machine somewhere, Its a odd design, almost half mood shaped. I will try and post a pic of it tomorrow

Hi, guys!
I was really pleased when I bumped into this site. I hope someone will help with ideas and suggestions...
I'm a big Vorwerk fan, I had several generations, years ago I was also a Vorwerk sales person...
I recently moved to NYC from Europe and wanted to buy a Vorwerk-no chance, they don't sell it here anymore. They stopped after the VK 121. Any ideas why? I even tried to contact them with no success in discovering why they are not present nor if they are coming back.
I want to purchase a Vorwerk and after seeing the VK 200 i realized what that that's what I want. Great improvement, I love the new Kobosan auto dispensing brush!
My major concern is, wheater to buy it in Europe, ship it and use it with a power converter (step up 110 to 220 transformer) how does that sound to you?Anyone using a vacuum with that kind of converter?
Thanks to this page I discovered the Seba vacuum which features similar characteristics but I don't find it that functional as Vorwerk not to mention that the design is incomparable ...
Thank you for your help!
 
"Is this going to help everyone out in the UK now that you're independent or is this going to hurt for a short time. I just hope it was for the right reasons because I love going over there plus if your economy goes down I can always do more shopping while I'm there to help boost it up a bit "

The truth? No one knows anything as there is nothing to compare it to. And right now nothing has changed at all.
