In recent years, the trend of Japanese vacuum cleaners has emphasized "ease of use", such as cordless and lightweight compact.However, a vacuum cleaner that faces this trend has been released on May 11, 2017.That is the Kobold VK200 (hereinafter referred to as VK200) by Foirberg, Germany.

Foreberg is a long -established vacuum cleaner manufacturer in Europe since 1930.It has been landing in Japan for 30 years, but at first it was a sales form mainly for door -to -door sales, so the awareness in Japan is not very high.In 2013, he established Kobolt Japan, a regular dealer, currently sells at some mass retailers, department stores, and online, and has a showroom in Tokyo and Fukuoka.

However, despite the fact that it is recognized, foieberg products have been reputed to the high dust collection, high performance, and durability in Japan.The basic set is nearly 100,000 yen, and the full set is a high price as a vacuum cleaner at nearly 300,000 yen, but the company's products are very popular among some users in Japan.

By the way, the EU introduced a performance display system called "energy label" in vacuum cleaners since 2014.The VK200 released this time (when using the EB400 for attachments) has the highest rank of "A" evaluation in this energy label, energy -saving, annual energy, noise, dust, and dust collection.Acquisition.According to Kobolt Japan's president Anton Yatch, there are few products that have all items A evaluation in the EU, which has a stricter standard than in Japan.

It is a brand that is "knowing" for families who are more sensitive to clean environment, such as homes that require house dust allergic improvement by house dust and families with small children.

In addition, the company's products are also known for their high durability.According to President Anton Yatch, many users still use products that have been discontinued 18 years ago in Germany.In addition, the company's philosophy of "making products that can be used for a long time" is also attractive.By setting a newly developed attachment on the old product, it is possible to improve the cleaning properties without replacing the body.

Ideal for removing house dust

In addition to the dust collection power of A evaluation with the energy label, the dedicated filter has a sucked allergen 99.Holds 99 % and adopts a structure that does not escape outside.For this reason, this product has been recognized as "allergic patient recommendation" for the first time in the German Technical Inspection Organization TUV.In addition, with abundant attachments, it is possible to care not only on the floor, but also on all places such as sofas and bed mattresses where human skin touches.In Japan, he will target "families that are sensitive to house dust measures."

Supports any situation

The basic set of VK200 to be released this time is an unusual upright type in Japan.The upright type is a type of vacuum cleaner with a head directly on the vertical body.Since there is no hose between the main body and the head, it is efficiently sucked, and the weight of the main unit directly applies to the head, so it is easy to demonstrate the cleaning of carpets and the like.

How to collect garbage is a filter type.Use a dedicated three-layer filter "3-in-1 filter bag FP200".The filter is higher than a general domestic vacuum cleaner, which is 4000 yen for 6 sheets, but the filter size is large, so it is not necessary to replace it for about 3 to 4 months.In addition, since the hole in the filter wearing does not open unless it is set in the vacuum cleaner and energizes, it is also characterized by not scattering dust or trash when throwing the filter.

Another feature of the VK200 is the number of attachments mentioned earlier.All attachments other than the main unit are sold separately.The floor head can be selected from three types: HD60 for hard floors such as flooring and tiles, SP530 that can also wipe water, and EB400 that supports both carpets and hard floors.In addition, there are more than 10 attachments, including a brush with a built -in motor, such as a brush with a motor that exerts power to clean cloth products such as sofas and inside the car.Some of the attachments are specially rubbed in the mattress of the bed, and President Anton Yatch explains, "This product will be a" home care system "instead of a" vacuum cleaner ".

The EB400 that works according to the flooring is convenient

VK200 has a lot of attachments, but the company recommends the power zone EB400 (hereinafter EB400) that supports both carpets and hard floors on the floor head.In addition, we recommend three points: a power hose that can clean cloth products such as the inside of the car or a sofa and a brush power boy PB440 with a motor.

The EB400 of the floor head can switch the operation mode in four stages: automatic (AUTO), software (Soft), middle (MED), and Strong (MAX).The automatic mode can detect flooring with a sensor and clean it with optimal power.The VK200 has a very strong power, so if you select a strong with a carpet, the head will stick to the floor with suction power, and the head is hard to move.However, in the case of automatic mode, a strong suction power is improved on the hard floor.In the carpet, the head is reduced and the head adheres to the floor.

Another attachment recommended by the company is a combination of Power Horse and Power Boy PB440 (hereinafter, PB440).The PB440 is a motor -mounted attachment like a handy cleaner equipped with a rotating brush.Two brushes are arranged on the head, and the brush rotates to each other, stirring out garbage attached to cloth products and sucking.It is also possible to suck trash from a small hole at the tip of the attachment with the switch on the side of the brush.It is also possible to clean small places such as sofa grooves.

Recommended SP530 for Japan that does not wear shoes indoors

According to President Anton Yatch, the recommended floor head for families with many flooring is a hard floors aquarner Kobolt SP530, which can wipe water.The SP530 is a floor head that can set a dedicated wet cloth.The dust can be sucked from before and after the cloth while removing dirt on the floor by high -speed vibration of the cloth.

Approach that is completely different from domestic brands

The VK200 is a vacuum cleaner with a completely different approach from a domestic vacuum cleaner.Domestic brand vacuum cleaners emphasize not only suction power but also "ease of use" such as cordless, lighter, and compact.However, VK200 pursued purely high cleaning.To be honest, the vacuum cleaner body is large and heavy, and it is not good to handle cords, but the power to suck garbage is very high.

In addition, the existence of abundant sold attachments is also interesting.In the case of domestic brand vacuum cleaners, all attachments are often attached from the beginning, but unused accessories may squeeze the storage location.On the other hand, Kobolt can only choose the necessary attachments, so there is almost no "unused attachment".In addition, there are three types of options with only the floor head alone, and you can choose the best cleaning system for the environment where you clean.

Depending on the attachment you choose, it is a high -priced product of over 100,000 yen, but the demand for families seriously considers house dust and allergies.
