I was wondering what that thing was in one of your other pictures. That seems like an awful lot of money for a sticvac... How well does it clean in comparison to other vacuums in the price range? |

Its so powerfull you can't un it on full suction on cutpile carpet , yuo won't be able to move it.
Its designed for the eu market were uprights don't normally sell so its light weight but really nice. according to some tests done independently in the Uk it out cleans the kirby sentria by a significant margin. Its not my favorite upright , I like on board tools but it does work wonders. they aren't my biggest seller but they do sell , mainly to customers who trade in their older model for a new one. |

vorwerks remind me so much of Kirby cleaning systems-and very rare my way-last time I saw one was in the sale-trade in pile at Star vacuum in Wash DC area some 30 years ago.Now kicking myself for not buying it.Looked like the machine on the right in Gsheens picture. |

The one problem withthe new one is it is so lite, 3.5kg and the suction so strong its very difficult to move, luckily you can turn down the power but why would you want to use anything less than maximum( my Feeling ) you feel tired after using it. Bag is really really small this time VK140, lots of complaints from customers about that |
