Vorwerk Model VK117

A quick look and demo.

[@seana806]

Looks to be about 1980’s. Only vacuums I have in my collection at the moment are a few Kirby’s I picked up along with one being a trash find but will be others in the future as time goes on.

I love the vorwerk powehead that turn the brushes

[@Bunkysworkshop]

They are very interesting 🧐

[@jurgensduplessis1964]

And I love the sound of the brushes that brush the carpet

[@Bunkysworkshop]

@@jurgensduplessis1964 That’s the soundI love the most from the old Hoover uprights.

A great vaccum cleaner

Sold D2D. VK117: made from 1972 - 1984. This is the second revision, made from 1975-77 for the German market, and produced for overseas, the UK and Italy until 1984. ET20 was made from 1975-80 (Germany), until ca 1982/83 for overseas. Check out the number on both units. The first two digits indicate the year. There are still thousands of this model around, especially in Italy and Germany. The tools(hose+various nozzles) make this little powerhouse so versatile.

WOW 🤩. Thank you so much for all the info. They are neat little machines and you can do a lot of multitasking.

80.anni

LOL, we hope we don't have trouble keeping it up. For that cord you might be able to keep one of those Velcro cord straps wrapped around the top of the handle. Easier than cutting a zip tie each use. IBASAIC bought some Vorkwerk stuff new around Christmas time of 2019 I think it was as part of Christmas Specials. He likes them but is constantly saying when he talks about them that they really aren't worth the money being too expensive for that they are.

[@Bunkysworkshop]

They are expensive and I do agree that it’s not worth it. However if I find a used one too try out I’ll definitely go for it.

[@ryanhawkins1235]

@@Bunkysworkshop I might too but have so many vacs right now. Trying not to add anymore.

[@Bunkysworkshop]

@@ryanhawkins1235 I understand but for me I keep telling myself oh I’ll get this vacuum and let this vacuum go. The problem is that I never let them go.
