“Kobold” is one of those names that over the years has managed to earn the trust of consumers of all ages. A real institution in Italian homes who in some way, directly or indirectly, have experienced first-hand the qualities and power of the vacuum cleaner par excellence. Vorwerkthe German company behind the Folletto brand, has been able to offer ever better and better performing versions of the Folletto and today it is ready to raise the bar once again with the new Folletto VK7s and this is its review.
The review of the Folletto VK7s
The Folletto VK7s is a latest generation vacuum cleaner which promises to revolutionize the way we clean our home. With a sleek and modern design, this vacuum cleaner stands out from others with its cutting-edge technology and superior performance. The Folletto VK7s is designed to offer deep and complete cleaning, guaranteeing impeccable results on every type of surface.

Unlike its predecessors, this version does without wire, putting itself in line with contemporary market trends but don’t call it an “Electric Broom” because it is much, much more.
Folletto doesn’t deny himself
The first feature of this Folletto VK7s is certainly the design; clean lines and a slim body give the vacuum cleaner a modern look but still maintaining its own style and adapting to any environment. It is equipped with a comfortable ergonomic handle which makes cleaning even more comfortable and guarantees a firm and secure grip. This is capable of folding 180° which allows us to tilt it differently depending on the use of the moment or the accessories inserted.
With the handle closed on itself, the vacuum cleaner can be answered in the charging base supplied which reflects the style of the Folletto himself. The charging station is also very small and discreet, capable of blending into any environment and also houses the new Folletto VR7s cleaning robot (which we’ll talk about later).
A profit worth mentioning display LCD present on the Folletto which provides useful information such as the currently set mode, the percentage of remaining battery and so on. In this regard, being a wireless model, autonomy could be a delicate topic. We know that autonomy depends mainly on the use we make of it but the company guarantees approximately 35 minutes of use at medium power. To this we add a rather fast charging time for the cordless vacuum cleaner market, less than 2 hours for a 0 to 100 charge.
Suction power
What makes the Folletto VK7s truly special is its cutting-edge technology which translates into truly remarkable suction power. This vacuum cleaner uses a powerful suction system which captures even the smallest particles of dust and allergens by being equipped with HEPA filter which effectively retains the smallest particles ensuring cleaner and healthier air in the home. There is no shortage of intelligent sensors that automatically detect the amount of dust and adjust the suction power accordingly, also adapting to different surfaces for effective cleaning in every situation. A collector bag with three-layer filter technology, retains 99.99% of particleswe will no longer come into contact with dust!
Smart side
The technology that allows it to adapt to the situation is not the only smart function that the new Folletto VK7s has. The vacuum cleaner, as well as the robot, can be connected to the official Folletto Application. The free application, available for both Android and iOS, is not essential for using the vacuum cleaner but will provide useful data for better management of the Folletto such as details on the various modes, the conditions of the accessories, keeping an eye on the charge of the battery or whether or not maintenance is required.
A Folletto for every desire
The Folletto’s strong point (always) is its versatility and part of it is given by the huge amount of accessories available (most sold separately). Each accessory allows you to dedicate yourself to a specific type of cleaning or to a more suitable part of the house. Among the most useful and most used for this review, we highlight the EB7s multifunction brush of the Folletto VK7s.
The brush allows you to easily vacuum dirt on floors and carpets and thanks to the boost mode it is also possible to vacuum crumbs or larger elements. The accessory will be able to fully “communicate” with the main motor of the Folletto and adjust the speed of the brushes depending on the dirt or thickness of the carpet. This is to preserve the most delicate carpets or floors. For washing we instead have the Pullulava SP7s which, with the right detergent and the most suitable cloth for the type of floor, is able to efficiently wash any type of surface.
To these are added many other accessories extremely useful as a mattress beater, or even a more delicate brush for sofas or an ingenious horseshoe accessory to blow out the dust produced by the drill when making holes in walls. An accessory truly for every situation.
The Folletto VK7s review in brief
For this review we tested the Folletto VK7s on a variety of surfaces, including carpets, wood floors, and tiles. In every situation the vacuum cleaner moved excellently, automatically adapting to the surface on which it is used, regulating the suction power accordingly. This also guarantees better battery life which never left us halfway (in a house of approximately 70m2).
Predictably, the Folletto VK7s proved to be up to the task, a high quality vacuum cleaner that offers exceptional performance. Its elegant and modern design adapts perfectly to any environment, while its cutting-edge technology guarantees deep and complete cleaning.
Price and availability of the Folletto VK7s
As per Vorwerk tradition, the Folletto Vk7S is also distributed directly by the company to the final consumer. I vary from approx 700 euros to over 1,500 euros depending on the quantity of accessories you decide to buy. The figure further rises to around 3000 euros if you decide to buy the complete package which also includes the VR7s Robot.
The review of the Folletto Robot VR7s
Among the new entries in the Folletto family we also find the new VR7s robot, a latest generation robot vacuum cleaner designed to make household cleaning a simpler and more efficient experience. Its compact and modern design makes it suitable for any type of home environment. With its advanced technology, this robot can precisely vacuum and clean every corner of your home, ensuring flawless cleaning results.
His compact body allows it to reach even the narrowest spaces, such as under furniture and along walls. Furthermore, it is equipped with intelligent sensors that allow it to avoid obstacles and move safely around your home. The robot is indeed equipped with an intelligent navigation system that allows it to map your home and plan the most efficient cleaning route. This way, you will not waste time and energy on already cleaned areas and will ensure a complete cleaning of the entire house. The robot is equipped with a powerful motor which guarantees powerful suction of dust and hair on the floor. Furthermore, it is equipped with rotating brushes that remove the most stubborn dirt.
Also in this case we have a advanced filtering system that captures the smallest particles of dust and allergens present in the air, ensuring a cleaner and healthier home environment.
The performance of the VR7s robot
During our test of the Folletto Robot VR7s, we evaluated several key product features. First, we looked at its suction and cleaning ability. The robot proved to be very effective at removing dust, hair and debris from the floor, leaving the surface clean and free of residue.
We also tested its ability to navigate and avoid obstacles. The robot proved to be very adept at moving around furniture and around corners, avoiding obstacles such as carpets and cables. Furthermore, the intelligent navigation system allowed the robot to cover the entire area without leaving any uncleaned areas.
In terms of performance, the comparison with the VK7s pixie does not hold up, but it actually doesn’t make much sense to do so. These are two products that respond to different needs. While the elf vacuum cleaner is used for deep cleaning of the whole house, the VR7s robot is effective for keeping the house clean or for carrying out daily superficial cleaning.
Price and availability of the VR7s robot
The new Folletto VR7s Robot Vacuum Cleaner is available on the Voerwerk website at the price of €1,490
