no idea

FOR SURE NOT THE VK 115, cause this has a larger badge on the motor cover.
I could anyway bet that - as always with VORWERK cleaners - all farts from similar models ( like the 115 ) will fit for sure.

The rubber parts seem to be quite damaged, so if I was you I would buy it only if quite cheap. Ask the seller to read the label, maybe, so you can check how rare it is on ebay.
 
It is a VK 111

I am positive about this because my grandmother had this one.

VK 53 (one model before) is basically the same, but it has a green badge and a detachable suction port with a screw. Going to model VK 111 they did away with direct access to the blower fan, so VK 111 had a fixed suction port and all the nozzles were redone to fit this newer model.

The 111 is the last model with a shake-out bag.
Later, just when the next model VK 114 came out, the salespersons started to sell the newer 114 bag with paper filters to owners of the 111.

to get this one complete you can fit all parts from 53 to 115, but to get it complete in the original version, you should take the white straight handle (no vinyl grip) (available with 1 hook, later 2 hooks) and the trapeze shaped smaller green bag (2 versions with or without paper filter).

Hope this helps.
 
no

I don't agree, and don't think is a vk 111 cause the motor head here is flat. Let's ask TOMMY !

Its still a nice vac!its up for only R60 now and I mean what's R60?even if its only the motor unit. Its still a lovely and beutifull vacuum cleaner.I've contacted a Vorwerk agent in Pretoria South Africa and asked if they have any VK117's available for sale they replied with a price of R3500 for the Vorwerk VK117 Only the basic machine then I can choose if I want the electric brush the polisher etc. For an additional price. They've also got a bakelite model for R35 000!!! I've got good childhood School holiday memorys of a Vorwerk Model VK117.
