We have been asked by the team at Vorwerk to find 10 (lucky) 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 Duo Clean 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.co.uk 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”.

Selected testers will be sent the Kobold VK200 to use in their own home and asked to share feedback on a thread on Mumsnet. We’d be looking for at least three lots of feedback plus photos of the vac in action. Those selected will be asked to share their first impressions as well as follow up feedback after it has been used a few times. Those selected will also need to add a review on MN.

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.

If you’d like to be considered, please sign up here and we will be in touch with selected testers soon Grin.

Best of Luck

My daughter and I have eczema and asthma caused mainly by dust allergy. I would love to try this to see if the low emissions make a difference.

At the moment I use 3 different types of vacuum cleaners in my home plus 2 different types of mops for my hard floors, if this works it sounds genius!

Love the idea that you can vacuum and mop at the same time.

If if works on wooden floors it could be just what I need. Having had wooden floors fitted throughout the house, I'm at a loss on how to clean. I don't want to be sloshing buckets of water everywhere but with 3 young kids it's looking pretty grimey!

That Kobold looks fantastic. Typisch deutsch! I've applied, would love to try it. Love a clean house, don't actually mind cleaning but have little time to spend doing so. Fingers crossed!

Sounds amazing! I would love to try this product. I have both hard wood floors, carpets and rugs. At the moment I use a dyson and a mop but something that can do all in one would be absolutely amazing! I have a little 7 8 month old who's into everything and two house rabbits so I need all the help I can get!

I would love to be able to test this vacuum cleaner. I have a dog in the house and although he doesn't cast, his feet must be dirty. I never have had a vacuum cleaner that I felt was powerful enough so I would love the opportunity to try it. I hate to admit it but I love vacuuming but not so much dusting.
