Category Kobold VK140/150

The Pulilava Kobold Floor Cleaner, released around 2009, is used for cleaning washable floors and is like having both a mop and vacuum cleaner.

In practice, the Pulilava Kobold Floor Cleaner halves the time needed to completely clean a room. While you need to vacuum the dirt first and then mop, this Vorwerk appliance does both in one go—vacuuming and mopping.

The oscillation of the cloths and the powerful suction of the Kobold vacuum cleaner ensure thorough cleaning of even grout lines and all types of floors where a mop or cloth can be used.

The Pulilava Kobold SP520 and 530 models were released with the Kobold VK140 and 150 cleaning systems, respectively. The Kobold SP600 and 600s models were released with the Kobold VK200 and 220s, and the Kobold SP7S model was released with the Kobold VK7S.

The differences between them are minimal: while the tank is external, like in the Pulilava SP530/530, the SP600/600 has an internal one, and there are convenient indicator lights to indicate this. They not only feature a refreshed design, but also several technical and practical improvements that improve their usability. Starting with the internal tank, which replaces the external dispenser, you can dispense detergent directly from the handle of your Kobold vacuum cleaner: simply attach the cloth to the cloth holder and set the automatic speed; the Pulilava will automatically release the right amount of detergent for cleaning your floor.

This is the Vorwerk Kobold VK 140 vacuum cleaner model, released in Italy around the summer of 2009, and the white VK150 a few years later. At first glance, it appears smaller and has a sleek casing. Refined details and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance make it easy to leave on display without having to lock it away in a closet.

The Kobold VK 140/150 vacuum cleaner now features a power setting that allows it to adjust the suction power based on the surface area when used with the EB 360/370 carpet brush, increasing maneuverability and reducing energy consumption. In addition to this new feature, there are three other fixed power settings: the first two are for normal use on floors, while the maximum power is used when connecting accessories for overhead cleaning.

The HD40/50 brush is articulated, allowing you to reach tight spaces and adapt to any obstacle it encounters without having to struggle to reach corners, clean between furniture, or vacuum along baseboards. The brush has been improved both in terms of its design and bristle technology, allowing for greater suction even at low engine speeds. This brush makes the Kobold VK 140/150 lightweight and practical during household cleaning, making the vacuum cleaner’s already lightweight feel less noticeable.
