Voorwerk help needed : )

[v6jme]

Hi

I would appreciate any help here.

I have just had a chappie round to demonstrate the Vorwerk VK200. I needed the basic unit at £749 and the tool kit at £100. If i bought today i could have £50 of bits bags etc but would have rather had £50 off the price.

The vac was well built quiet and worked well on my hard floors. Stair cleaning etc was good too. The pb440 was good but expensive at £200.

I am going to downsize from an a house to a 2 bed apartment so just want one vac to replace my Sebo E3 premium and x1.1 which have both old been used once as i have a cleaner who brings their own vac (i had a stroke last year and have poor grip in my left hand, my right hand works well : )

I used to have a Felix and just kept thinking for a third of the price i could have another Felix.

The guy will call me back at 3ish and i have no idea what to do : (

Plus :-

Vac was light
quiet
worked well
looked good
Well built

Minus

bit of hassle when using hose
price of extra tools


I also asked to look at a vc100 for cleaning the car but the guy forgot, he also did not know you could buy a tool lit at £10 for the VC100 and he was a team leader

The Vorwerk is fantastic vacuum cleaner but very expensive! I couldn't justify spending that kind of money. Plus you have to pay extra for the hose and attachments.

Personally i'd get a Sebo Felix. You can pick one up for £198 at the mo. Very good value. It is also a fantastic machine plus bags and filters are very reasonably priced.

I have just purchased an E3 Premium this morning. Wish I knew you were selling yours as I would have bought it. Damn

I will be selling both my E3 and X1.1, both have loads of extras :and are unmarked )

Still don't know what to do : (

Money is not the main concern and the eb400 head was good so i would not need a separate hard floor head at £75

[sebo4me]

If you're not worried about the money you will be hard pushed to find a better cleaner than the Vorwerk.

If money was no object I would love to own one, but only you can decide

Here is a good review of it.

Hi

Thanks for your help. Money is not a great problem (although i don't work at the moment)and i get new vacs every time there is something new or once a year whichever is sooner : )

Just quality and i know i will have less space so i need one main vac

I have seen the video, the guy is Swedish and has a cat

The guy has emailed me to say if i buy the VK200 and tool kits and a vc100 he will knock £40 off for me

He thinks it would be delivered tomorrow

That's him. Love the accent

Excellent let us know how you get on with it.

Both the Vorwerk and the Sebo are excellent cleaners. Both reliable and high performing, though I wasn't too impressed with the very narrow opening on the cleaner head on the Vorwerk - that would block up in no time in our house with the pussy cat!

The joy of the Vorwerk over the Felix is that it's considerably lighter and less top heavy, which would be of benefit if you have difficulty with your left arm. Maybe the Vorwerk vacuum on it's own plus a handheld vacuum would be a better set up, not so faffy with the tools that way?

 

[sebo4me]

The cleaner head is very narrow and the bags are quite small too at 2.2 litres. It won't take long to fill one of those. But still it's the best looking modern cleaner I've seen and quadruple A rated.

I would love one if anyone from Vorwerk would like me to review one feel free to post it to me

Thanks guys for your advice : )

I will buy :-

VK200 vac
Tool kit, bag, crevice, soft dusting brush, ext tube, flex head, carry strap, powered hose
PB440 + mattress kit
Box of bags
Dovina chips

VC100 vac
Tool kit

It was light and easy to use and looks stylish : )

I am 48 and go to the gym about 5 times a week, its just my balance and left grip and joint pain, Right hand works a treat ; )

Just waining for them to get back with a full price. I did not know that VK direct and Kobold UK were 2 different companies. VK are trowing in the PB440 for free,i ts usually £200

Hi

VK Direct Ltd
Unit G, Upperboat Business Park
Treforest, CF37 5BP

Not too far from Marcus : )

I have never filled a bag in by life as i usually change vacs often

I am on the verge of OCD so a dropped crumb would be the biggest thing on the floor.

Don't know what the VC100 will be like, if it is poor it can be returned, I have mats on top of mats in the cars so only bits are next to the seats.

My house is pussy free so no hairs here : ) ha ha

 

[sebo4me]

Just down the road where Tom Jones is from
My house has been pussy free for a few months now but that's another story haha

I am sure there are plenty in your area : )

meow

i was in a Chinese in Portishead last week and there was a sign for a lost cat. I said to the woman behind the counter "that will be in a curry by now" i don't think she found it funny : )

I am just waiting for the woman from VK Direct to finalise the price. The vac and bits will be here on Friday. I will ask for them to be double boxed.

 

[sebo4me]

Haha you're probably right

How exciting. Hope you enjoy it. I think you better keep this one for quite a while considering the money you spent on it

 

[turbo500]

Ooooh Treforest! My company have an office there!

Hi

All ordered and will be here on Friday. Kobold Uk could not match the offer from VK direct.

I have been to Cardiff a few times and to Cwmbran. When i was younger i used to live in Mumbles near Swansea.

Had many good times on the beach there : ) ha ha

I have had hundreds of vacs over the years and just want to downsize in my old age (48)

Thanks again for your help and banter : )

Jakub we don't mention Swansea in Cardiff!
Can you possibly do a demo of your Vorwerk on YouTube?

 

[v6jme]

Vorwerk

You tube? is that the same as you porn ? : )

I have listed my sebo E3 and X1.1 on ebay, plus loads of bags filter etc, almost emptied my vac cupboard. Most of them were in my sebo storage bag.

I had to order the tool kit for my VC100 from Kobold in Sunninghill as VK direct do not stock them.

I have not been to Swansea for years.

it was over 25 years ago that i lived in Swansea. No Polish shops in those days, not a bit of polish sausage back then. Not even at the uni : )
