Some aspects of the Vorwerk Kobold VK7 seem to come straight from the 70s, such as the multifunction format or the dust bags that are difficult to recycle. However, its suction performance and its noise management anchor it completely in the 2020s. We have obviously known stick vacuum cleaners with a much more interesting performance/price ratio, but this VK7 is a completely recommendable device, capable of performing its mission effectively on all surfaces.

The V15 Detect has the same advantages as the V15 Detect Absolute. Can’t fault it for suction, filtration or maintenance; the Holy Trinity of the stick vacuum cleaner. On the other hand, the defects are also the same and the V15 Detect is therefore rather heavy and not very durable in boost mode. In a nutshell, if we can regret the absence of the brush equipped with the laser, in absolute terms, the single classic brush supplied with this version is more than enough, even on hard floors and the V15 Detect remains an excellent vacuum cleaner -broom.
