Thermomix’s Kobold vacuum mop is going to be on everyone’s Christmas wish list
A seamless transition between wet and dry cleaning with that infamous German engineering … yes please!
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you are probably already using, or dreaming of using, a Thermomix®. It’s the smart, connected all-in-one kitchen appliance that’s been saving families time in the kitchen while helping to reliably deliver wholesome, unprocessed meals and more to the kitchen table without hassle.
Now the well-loved brand is taking that time-saving, reliable tech to more of the home, with the Kobold VK7 Cordless Vacuum and the very useful 2 in 1 Vacuum Mop Attachment bundle that turns it seamlessly into a mop!
As a household with four kids, a very hairy dog and two adventurous guinea pigs, I was the perfect candidate to put this time-saving here though it’s paces on my constantly clean-challenged floors.

For me the key features that make this a must-have for busy families are:
- The short charge time. Just 1.5-2 hours and this clever unit is good to go.
- The great overage per charge. Unless many other cordless options on the market, the reliable German technology means that you can cover around 60m² of floor (around 31-35 minutes). More than enough to do my entire house, particularly given how efficiently it cleans.
- No scrubbing! The mop head agitates from side to side, easily removing scuff marks, dried food and the other unexplained spills that appear on my tiled floors without the need to scratch and scrub.
- The boost button. A perfect little surge to quickly deal with the tricky spots mentioned above.

- So hygienic. There’s no skin contact with dirty cleaning cloth or water, so while you are cleaning your home, you are staying clean yourself.
- The accessories. You can literally clean you ENTIRE home with this brilliant machine.
- No water buckets and no drenched floors. There is a regular, automatic application of moisture to cleaning cloths for perfect moisture control. You can pretty much walk right over the floors as soon as you are done.
- Time-saver. It genuinely DOES save time. The easy release system makes it so simple to switch from vac to mop, and before you know it your floors are shining!
- Easy to store. The Kobold VK7 is free-standing, this also means you can break in-the-middle of a clean, without having to prop it up. What’s more, thanks to the Start & Stop function, it switches off automatically.

Perfect for allergy sufferers
The Kobold VK7 is a game-changer for allergy sufferers and pet owners, accredited by Sensitive Choice and TÜV Certified, with its new four-layer filtration system, even the most stubborn dust particles are captured.
The bags are made with 80 per cent recycled materials and capture 99.99 per cent of particles including dust mites and fine dust (up to 0.3 microns) – for a far more efficient clean than ‘bagless’ vacuums in market.

As someone who has spent a small fortune having gone through several other big name brands of cordless vacuums in the past decade, replacing them quickly after only a short period of time when the suction began to falter or parts simply ceased doing their job, an investment in Thermomix is one I am happy to back.
The trusted German engineering in thermal and and it’s products is infamous for durability and efficiency, and I’m excited about launching a long-term relationship with the Kobold, just like I have with my trusty kitchen aid.
