Personally for me and I would say for a percentage of Vorwerk owners and protential buyers it was what the Kobold could do that attracted me to it and seeing what it can do in the home demo. Of course that's not everyone perception for some as mentioned it's the amount of tools and attachments you get with it!
For me it was an investment and I love using it, but I will admit it's not a system/vacuum cleaner for everyone especially the price being the main point protential buyers would query regardless of what it can do.
Vorwerk more so in recent times pitches the Kobold as a home care cleaning system and at the heart of it is a vacuum cleaner which is small and lite to use. The bag capacity could do with being larger still even for me but they have generally been on the small side on most of the Kobolds to allow the machine to stay small I suppose. It's quite an efficient design especially the last generation VK140/VK150 and the new VK200.
Time will tell if Vorwerk become more known in the UK in the future for the Tiger to become available!
