Want to try “The Ultimate Homecare System” – the Vorwerk Kobold VK200 worth £1,049 and share feedback on Mumsnet Kent?

We have been asked by the team at Vorwerk to find 10 (lucky) local Mumsnetters to try their latest Kobold VK200 vacuum cleaner and report back on MN!

They say “compact, unbeatably handy and extremely powerful, the Kobold VK200 Upright Vacuum Cleaner is the ideal addition to your household, making life easier and cleaner.

Designed by global German household appliance manufacturer Vorwerk, the Kobold VK200, in combination with two different attachments, takes care of all your floor cleaning needs. Whether it’s carpets or hard floors – the Kobold VK200 Homecare System has it covered.

The unique SP530 DuoClean head allows you to mop and vacuum at the same time – a world first! It uses just 100ml of water to cover up to 20 m² of hard floor. And the best part? Simply remove the cleaning cloths when you’ve finished and pop them in the washing machine ready for next time.

“The EB400 brush head meanwhile ensures vacuuming is thorough, gentle and hygienic – driven by its own motor, a special rotating brush scans the floor 16 times per second and removes dirt and dust completely. Even the finest dirt particles do not stand a chance!

“Visit Kobold Vorwerk to find out more about the Kobold VK200 vacuum cleaner and discover the array of clever additional accessories that turn this machine into the Ultimate Homecare System! Simply click and swap to the attachment you need to expertly deal with upholstery, furniture, mattresses, textiles and anything else you need cleaned. Built to last, the Kobold VK200 is the only vacuum cleaner you’ll ever need”.

The 10 testers will receive the Kobold VK200 Homecare System on loan to test it out in their own home for one week, and asked to share feedback on a thread on Mumsnet Local. Those selected will be asked to share their first impressions as well as follow up feedback after it has been used a few times.

Prior to use, each selected tester will receive a visit from a representative from the team at Vorwerk who will do a personal demo of the machine in the tester’s own home to ensure the features are fully understood.

On completion of the demo and publication of the review, the selected testers will be reimbursed for their time with a complimentary VC100 handheld vacuum cleaner worth £129.

If you’d like to be considered, please get in touch quickly with your local editor at [email protected] - those 10 spaces won't take long to fill up!

Testers - please share below your first impressions

~ how did the demo from the Vorwerk rep go? What were you the most keen to try out?
~ how were the instructions in the box?
~ what did the demo cassette bag show after the first use - are you surprised by how much has been picked up?
~ please share a photo!

Has anyone received their handheld yet? What's it like Grin

Mamagin · 26/08/2017 23:00

No. Not heard anything.

Kentlass · 26/08/2017 23:23

Nope I've not heard anything. Is @ VerityLocalEdKent on the case?

Rach5l · 27/08/2017 14:24

Oh Confused

I got a message 2 weeks ago asking me to confirm my email address because they were ready to send Confused

Kentlass · 27/08/2017 17:16

I've emailed local editor and she understands that Katie at Vorwerk is getting ready to post them. Fingers crossed it won't be too long.

Mirasol · 07/09/2017 14:44

What are you overall views on the vacuum cleaner?
Average. I really liked the mop/vacuum feature, but it let me down on the suction. I don't really think it's worth the hefty price tag.

Would you recommend it to other people with similar floors to you?
The mop function is really good for hardwood floors as it doesn't get them very wet.

Sorry, all my photos turned out very blurry!

LocalEditorKent · 08/09/2017 13:19

Hi Everyone

Katie emailed this morning to say that the 'thank you' handhelds should be received by the end of next week.

Fingers crossed you will all get them soon!

Kentlass · 15/09/2017 20:04

Pleased to report that I've received my handheld device. It's tiny but good and powerful.

Rosiecrow1960 · 15/09/2017 20:29

Hopefully the rest of us will get ours soon!

LocalEditorKent · 21/09/2017 18:10

Hi Rosiecrow

Have you received your handheld yet? If not, can you just confirm your email address and I'll chase it up for you?

Thanks!
Verity

LocalEditorKent · 21/09/2017 18:12

Oops - that was meant to be a PM Rosiecrow!

thecatsabsentcojones · 23/09/2017 07:53

I've got a Thermomix which is from the same company, and yes you sell purely for commission. It seems that most people do it on a part time basis. I'm not a fan on the MLM way though so wouldn't do it myself.

If you still need testers I'm very up for it. The Thermomix is amazing, if this Hoover is anything like as good it will be a must have!

Mamagin · 23/09/2017 11:10

I've received my handheld, it's very elegant.
