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

I've just applied. I have two messy boys which mean mopping is very frequent, and DS1 has asthma, so I'm constantly worrying about keeping the carpets clean enough.

Pointeshoes · 10/10/2016 16:58

Please pick me ! I have a messy 6 yr old and 4 month old twins boys who have reflux - anything to make cleaning a bit easier would be very grateful !! We also have house rabbits too so could really give it good test out!!

Severino · 10/10/2016 21:46

Ooh yes please.
Would love to try it

MyShinyThing · 10/10/2016 22:00

When I pressed submit I got an error message saying there was too much traffic. Any idea when it will be available again?

QOD · 10/10/2016 22:32

G'wan then

ldt87 · 10/10/2016 22:42

Done!

Minisoksmakehardwork · 11/10/2016 16:47

idesgarden · 11/10/2016 17:33

Would be interesting to see how it would cope here with the menagerie!!! Grin

BurningBriquette · 11/10/2016 21:41

Mixed floors. Chaos. Mucky pups all round. Hand in the air - please pick me... 😀Smile

SmileyShazza · 11/10/2016 21:41

I've tried most of the popular brands and am yet to find a vacuum cleaner that works effectively on the different types of flooring in our house and gives me a satisfactory level of suction and power to cope with the dust, dirt and pet hair.

irie · 11/10/2016 21:51

Entered!!

HotCrossMummy · 11/10/2016 22:41

Applied. I'd love to get my hands on one of these! Wink

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 12/10/2016 06:57

I signed up a few days ago but forgot to post here. Watching for updates...

toopeoply · 12/10/2016 09:54

I've entered, fingers crossed. Although if they have to come to do a visit I assume they aren't going to want to come up to rural Scotland. .

caz1967 · 12/10/2016 11:05

HI I HAVE OSTEOARTHRIIS IN MY HANDS & FEET, ALONG WITH NERVE DAMAGE IN SORIATIC JOINT, I SUFFER WITH A FEW SSUES IN MY SPINE LEAVING ME IN ACUTE PAIN WHATEVER PAIN RELIEF I HAVE. THIS FANTASTIC CLEANER, SOUNDS JUST THE THING TO STOP ME HAVING TO DRAG AROUND MY OLD VAX, ITS SO HEAVY IT TAKES ME OVER AN HOUR JUST TO DO MY DOWNSTAIR, I HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMONE TO TAKE IT UPSTAIRS FOR ME,THIS WOULD BE LIGHT ENOUGH TO HOLD WHILST ON MY STAIRLIFT.

simbobs · 12/10/2016 14:41

As a dog owner with more both hard floors and carpets I seem to spend an awful lot of precious time on floor cleaning. On top of that my Dyson has started making some very strange noises and is definitely in need of replacement. When the time comes (and I will hang on till the bitter end) I will be researching its replacement. This sounds exactly what I need.

Mum2KSS · 12/10/2016 15:26

Done - would love to test the vacuum and mop duo clean head!

OhIfIMust · 12/10/2016 16:39
