Vorwerk started life in Germany in 1883 as a carpet-making company.

They developed the first Kobold vacuum cleaner in 1929. It was revolutionary at the time, being far less bulky than the other vacuums available then – reduced down to motor, dust-bag and handle. Even this first model was notable for its power and versatility.

To this day, Vorwerk Kobold vacuum cleaners have an unrivalled reputation for quality and performance. And they’re still amongst the most versatile on the market, allowing you to tackle carpets, hard floors, mattresses, furniture, and even the most inaccessible corners with ease.

VK Direct is the UK’s sole distributor of Vorwerk Kobold vacuum cleaners and accessories. Following the original Vorwerk ethic, we still demonstrate the cleaners to customers in the comfort of their own home. And we can now deliver all the Vorwerk consumables you need direct to you, through our online shop.
