What a beauty, green with envy here. I did try the previous model VK140, and liked it very much, particularly with the new brushless motor. The Vorwerk tool set has always been one of the best available IMHO, cleverly designed and an absolute joy to use.
Last time I bought a new Vorwerk was when the VK130 was out. Back then you could call Vorwerk directly and order over the phone without a demo, and get the full kit for £528. The price has shot up substantially since VK Direct took over distribution. Vorwerk themselves are now gearing up to reenter the UK market once again, although it remains to be seen whether or not there will be any changes to distribution and pricing in the future.
With regard to the bags, although bottom fill they tend to work rather like a Sebo bag. Dust accumulates in the farthest corner first (aided by the airflow), only nearing the inlet collar once full, by which time the bag will be packed almost solid. The bag collar has a sealing flap which closes as you remove it from the machine, keeping the dust inside.
