Welcome to Vorwerk Jakub, looks amazing enjoy using it I'm sure you will! Let me know what you think of the VK100!?

That's very kind of them, I have to say the service for Vorwerk is great and friendly too.

I would ask them to exchange it and send you the PB440 as that is what you paid for lol! Must still have stock of the PB430! The extra mattress attachments only work on the PB440 and come as a 3 part set you can't buy them (as yet) separate. In fact the two extra attachments with the PB440 can be used to deep clean soft furnishings and sofas etc so not just for mattresses deep cleaning.

Did you get any Kobosan to go in the VF200 hopper?

Did you not fancy the DuoClean for your hard floors?

One great thing about Vorwerk you can add the other attachments later on and they are still the same price as if you brought them at the time of the main purchase. Plus if an updated attachment or new one comes out it will fit your Kobold direct or Vorwerk will supply an adapter meaning you don't have to upgrade you own Kobold system to the latest one! Though 2 things I like and think it's great they think of the customer/owner.

You'll love it I'm sure, be interested to know how you get on with it!?

sebo4me....they do finance options to buy one lol!

Hi

There was not any Kobosan powder with the VF200, i will place an order after easter for a few bits.

The VC100 is now charged. I might try it in the car tomorrow.

Had a quick vac round with the VK200, it was ok.

The PB430 was provided free, Zoe might have said powered head and PB430.

I will be moving to an apartment soon and will be all carpets so don't need the duo clean head yet. As you say i can always add bits later.

I received a leaflet with the vac telling me about the interest free options. I had already paid in full.

All my furniture and car seats are leather, well i am 48 so need wipe clean : )

VK direct got my name and address wrong (spelling) which meant they had to ask for ID, never had that before.

Could Marcus not get a job as a seller for Vorwerk and sell the 1st one to himself, discounted of course : )

Wish they sold the VT300 here as i much prefer a cylinder vac.

Looks so cool! Reminds me of the difference between Apple computer products and packaging and all other computer/smartphone companies. Very white and clean and sleek-looking and futuristic! Enjoy your new toy!

Our friend Roger Ibaisaic Sensotronic in England deserves to get one as a gift from all of us. His videos are so helpful and valuable for the world's cleanerphile community. I should start up a crowdfunding project called "Vorwerk for Roger"!!!!
 
Kobold VK200

Hello

I didn't if there would be as you said you git it off eBay.

Look forward to hearing what you think of the VK100!?

Surprised the PB430 was free, that's a great deal you got there! What was the total cost of the package you got if you don't mind me asking!?

No that's true wouldn't require it, always add later if needed :-)

Lol yeah so no need for the PB440 and the other parts!

Oh no that's not good, fancy being ID for a vacuum cleaner :-)

I want to try connecting the EB head to the electric hose which I'm told you can do!

Well yes he could either pay for one in full, have finance or join Vorwerk as a sales advisor in home demonstrator and earn his Kobold for free! Then Marcus will have a VK200!! Unfortunately you can't discount the machine especially to yourself lol :-)

Same hear love the Tiger, never tried it, not ideal for taking to home demo's probably due to size! You never know once Vorwerk and Kobold become more well known in the UK we might get the VT300. Although I can't see the sales advisors having 2 machines when doing in home demo's! May be we might get retail outlets in the future so the VT300 we'll be sold through them! I want to try the Thermomix at some point!

vorwerk

Good morning Jon

I paid £749 for the vk200 and ek400 with a box of bags and chips

£100 for the tool kit

£75 for the vc100

Zoe added the pb430 free and also threw in a box of bags and chips.

From Kobold UK i bought the tool kit for the vc100 at £10 + £4.95 delivery

The VF200 was bought from eBay at £100 new in box.

I did think about getting a VT300 from Germany, i will see how i get on with the VK200 first.

This will be a weekend of gardening and car cleaning. It is supposed to be 20oc here tomorrow so i am hoping to get chance to rest and roast in the garden : )
 
Vorwerk

Good Morning Jakub

It sure is a lovely sunny day!

Thanks for answering my questions!

Good prices, great deal on the VC100 (not sure why I put VK100!! last night haha!) as that retails at £149 I believe. As you got the PB430 free that would of been £200 which you saved, great bargain!! PB440 is £200 too which the additional 2 parts. If you buy the PB440 but not the accessories kit that comes with the hose the hose is added ffor free with the PB440. Plus you saved on the VF200 too, I think you might of got some Kobosan with it if purchased from Vorwerk UK/VKDirect but like you say you can get hold of that anyway.

I think you got a great saving from the options you choose. That's the great thing about the Kobold you design your own vacuum cleaner and choose the options you want. Add to it later if you want!

That's true try the VK200 first! Vorwerk UK might be able to import one, but suppose you can do that yourself if you wanted too. To be fair you'd only need the actual machine and the VT300 electric hose as everything else you have with the VK200 will fit it as it uses the same tools and accessories as you probably know! Only difference is the bags and it has 2 filters!

Don't blame you enjoy the sun and garden while we have nice weather :-)

Enjoy your weekend :-)
 
Vorwerk

Hi

It is 20oc here at the moment, i am on a sun lounger with a fab ice lolly. I am sure i won't have any white bits : )

I did ask Kobold Uk if they could get a VT300 for me but they said no. I am sure i could get one imported from Germany once i have moved house.

I will contact VK Direct after Easter and order a few bits.

Have a great weekend " )

Jakub
 
The two things Kobold could do to make their Vorwerk better: provide an adjustable telescopic wand and a headlight on the nose of the main body for use with any floor brush or carpet attachment. A spotlight on the end of the optional hose would be great too!
 
Vorwerk

Hi

In 2012 i bought a Miele S8 Uniq which had the spotlight on the handle, it was useful.

I will soon be moving to a 2 bed apartment in Portishead which i will have fully carpeted to keep the noise down,

I bought the VK200 as i needed something light and easy to use : )

Jakub
 
Vorwerk

It was fully extended this morning ; ) ha

I called Kobolded Uk to try to order some extra bits. I wanted the HD60 hard floor head, the window cleaning set, Kobosan powder and a spare motor filter. Pam said the window set is available free if you host a party and 3 people attend, i did say i don't know 3 people. The HD60 head is not yet available in the UK even though it is shown on their website and youtube etc. I did not bother ordering anything else as i will go away for Easter.

Not yet used the VC100 and have used the VK200 3 times.

I did also check with VK direct who said they could not het either part. I have seen a HD60 on Amazon but there is not a pic of the head so i can't be sure what i would be getting, plus the seller is in Italy.

Has anyone started a fund for a VK200 for Marcus? though to be fair a Sebo e3 is a much more useful vac as it has everything. I have mine listed on eBay, it has not been used and i listed filters pages etc ofr it too.

Have a good day guys, i am on my second whites wash of the day and will head to the gym at 10am.


Jakub
 
No one has made a donation 😫

Oh well I'm enjoying my Sebo E3 Premium it's a great cylinder 😁

How are you getting on with the Vorwerk Jakub? The more I look at it the more I want one!
 
Vorwerk

Hi Marcus

I would give you a donation (or a rash) ha ha

Well the Vorwerk is ok, already having some regrets as customer service is not quite up to Sebo standards (which was not great but much better than Miele)

I was after a few bits for my VK200, a GD15 window cleaning brush, a HD60 head, and Dovina sommer chips, Just told none in the UK and they can't order from Germany. Tried to contact .DE but just keep getting error message as i am not in Germany.

I did receive a call from Dan at VK direct who said he would email his details, not yet received the email and i did call to say email had not been received.

I did like the look of my E3, i bought it because it was white and the top model.

Now used VK200 4 times. It is easy to use but i will say a Sebo Felix is more versatile with built in hose plus parts are easy to get for it

I also asked if they have any special offers from time to time e.g. % discount or free delivery, told maybe.

I am away for Easter : )

Jakub
 
Hope you find the items you want. Felix is a great vac but I believe the Vorwerk is lighter so better suited to your needs? I'm sure it will grow on you. Like fungus haha

Enjoy you're Easter. I have one day off. Zippedy doo da! 😂
 
Vorwerk

I am going to Portishead property hunting. Have to take my macBook to cribbs for a new screen as the anti reflective coating has failed, it is 4 ½ years old but Apple will do it for free : ) Then a clinique facial at noon. I sound well gay. Makes a change from my own facial ha ha

On a vac note just used the handheld VC100 and it was ok. I have a Leaf which is now 2 months old and have mats on mats so they don't get dirty so its just the sides f the seats etc that need a vac. It is a weird floor covering not like the carpet in my Mercedes SLC.

Enjoy your day off, i will wave at you from the other side of the Bristol Channel : )

Jakub
 
A facial? You poof! Haha

If you did want one for lunch there's plenty to choose from on here 😁

I will be down the bay Friday night so I'll give you a wave back 🙋

PS Hope you don't develop the accent my loveerrrrr 😂



http:// Hope you don't develop the accent my loveerrrrr 😀
 
Accent

I love the South West accent. I went to Street to the outlet village and a woman said to me she hated her accent, i said it made her sound slow, i meant calm, soothing and peaceful.

ooo arr my lover

No gays in Telford, not in my gym anyway : )

I worked once, never again, it was not worth the effort, i am 48 in the body and about 17 in the head : )

I used to love living in the Mumbles, a hassle to get anywhere in summer though. I do miss being by the sea. can't wait to move.

I did go to Cardiff in 2015, i almost went to the DR Who place but it was a Sunday and never got past the Lego Dalek inside.

I wonder if Welsh gays taste of lava bread? not that u would know that!

I wonder what i taste of? Polish sausage : )

Off to M&S now, i hate it as i can't stands crowds but have a £5 off a £25 voucher which i need to use today.

I hope that when i get back i will learn to love the VK200

Jakub
 
Sorry for the error Jakub - I had in mind the single long tube wand that is included with the Tiger cylinder cleaner. I wonder if Vorwerk includes an extra telescopic wand with the Tiger - in addition to the single long one.
 
Vorwerk

Hi

The tube that comes with the tool kit does extend. I doubt i will use though.

Had a new screen fitted to my McBook pro yesterday and within and hour it was flickering. Next time i am in Portishead i will get it replaced again.

Everywhere is closed on Sunday. That baby Jesus sure has a lot to answer for : )

Jakub
 
Haha he does. How inconsiderate of him.

I'm very tempted to buy a VK 150. Are youiking your Vorwerk a bit more now Jakub?
 
I'm liking my E3 Premium very much.

Ideally I'd like a bit more airflow but it's still pretty good for a 700w motor.

Very stylish looking vac and the ET1 PN glides across the carpet effortlessly 😀
 
Sorry to hear that. What issues are you having?

If you return it what will you use to clean your home?
 
Vorwerk

Hi Marcus

Strop over, i will keep Vorwerk, well for now

VK got my name and address wrong, then i was told i would get a PB440 and i got a PB430 which does not include the mattress cleaning heads. I wanted to order a HD60 head and simmer air fresheners which you can get in Germany but not here.

I had a list of bits i wanted :-

Kobotex Stain Remover - £6.00
KoboclearGlass Cleaner 750ml - £12.00
Kobold GT15 Micro Fibre Glove/Mitt – £15.00
FL-200 Motor Filter - £5.00
2.5kg (5 sachets) Kobosan - £11.00
GD15 - £28.00
Courier - £4.95

Total £81.95

Kobosan is £25 not£11 but £25

My Sebo E3 is still in its box and on eBay, i might keep it as i have until the 28th to return the VK200

Young Alex has a battery Henry, ideal for cleaning the car

Jakub
 
I love my E3 Premium. I dont think you would be disappointed with it.

The cordless Henry could be the best cordless yet in the UK but is there enough power to run a turbo brush? I don't like straight suction on carpets and they don't do a PN.
 
Vorwerk

My E3 will either be kept or given away if it does not sell.

I had 2 of the Miele Hybrids. Absolute rubbish both failed and needed control panels which also failed. I bought direct from Miele in Abingdon and got a full refund on both.

Straight suction, there a joke there somewhere : )

I might be moving to Portishead within the next few months, i thought it might have been next year
