Vorwerk - the company

[fundj&e]

Many years ago my x BIL also imported   Vacuum cleaners from Germany.
Trying to think of the name, i know it was thermo-something

I checked the website and evidently they is no distributor in Australia.  So sorry everyone. Funnily enough, they are cheaper than Thermomix too.  Haven't converted all to australian dollars but the upright is around €550 and the barrel is €800' ish and Thermomix here is €985.  They are releasing a dust buster sized rechargeable vac and a robotic one later on this year.  Sorry everyone, would love to bring them back for you when I come to Australia but I don't think I have that much baggage allowance.  I am just looking forward to dyson dying so I can complete the matching set.  The vacuum is in the same colors as Thermie.

Around thirty years ago I bought an upright Vorwerk Vacuum Cleaner when we lived in Patterson Lakes in Victoria.  It was demonstrated in-home by a salesman and not sold in shops at the time.  Not sure how I found the salesman.  Could have been one of those shopping centre demonstrations or something.  It was a great vacuum and lasted for years.  About the only thing I didn't like was that it had a cloth dust bag.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I saw them in Godfreys a couple of years ago.  Wonder if they still carry them.

  The vacuum is in the same colors as Thermie.

 

Ohhhh Lee, that would be enough to make me get one

A guest at a demo told me her husband used to sell the vacuum cleaner by vorwerk by demonstration in Oz.
