7 Reasons For for Choosing the Shark S1000
The Shark S1000 has an adjustable steam (as do the Philips GC362 and the VAX VRS26), however the Dirt Devil Versa and the Polti Moppy do not have this feature. More ...
'Adjustable steam' means that the steam cleaner has the ability to adjust the amount of steam that is produced, from a small spray to a very heavy burst.
Different surfaces require different steam pressures to clean - very lightly-soiled surfaces may only require a light spraying, whereas caked-on dirt may require a very heavy flow. This will also effect the amount of water used, and therefore how long the steamer lasts between refills.
The Shark S1000 has a removable water tank (as do the Philips GC362 and the Polti Moppy), whereas the Dirt Devil Versa and the VAX VRS26 do not have this feature. More ...
'Removable Water Tanks' denotes whether the water tank on the steam cleaner can be easily removed and reinserted whenever necessary.
A removable water tank makes refilling the steam cleaner far easier, and you're less likely to spill water all over the place.
The Shark S1000 has a cleaning cloth, and so do the Dirt Devil Versa and the Polti Moppy, whereas the Philips GC362 and the VAX VRS26 do not. More ...
Whether the steam cleaner comes with a cloth specifically designed for finishing surfaces after cleaning them, wiping them down and giving them a final little polish.
A cleaning cloth will give a nicer final glean to cleaned floors and windows.
The Shark S1000 has a hard floor brush, whereas the Dirt Devil Versa, the Philips GC362, the Polti Moppy and the VAX VRS26 do not have this feature. More ...
'Hard Floor Brush' denotes whether the steam cleaner comes with a brush specifically designed for cleaning hard floors.
A specialised brush will make cleaning hard floors significantly easier.

A greater number of shops increases the chances of the product remaining in stock and also increases the price competition amongst retailers for this steam cleaner.
Shark steam cleaners have an average rating of 95%, whereas Dirt Devil only has an average rating of 58.3%, Philips only has an average rating of 76.5% and Polti only has an average rating of 76.1%.
6 Reasons Against for Choosing the Shark S1000

The capacity of a steam cleaner measures how much water it can store at once.
The bigger the capacity of your steam cleaner, the longer it can go between refills, meaning a more efficient use of your time.
The Shark S1000 is a 30s warm-up time steam cleaner. That's 20s longer than the Polti Moppy (10s). More ...
'Warm-up Time' denotes how long it takes the steam cleaner to be usable when first started up.
Faster warm-up times mean that there is a shorted gap between setting up the cleaner and being able to use it, meaning cleaning will take less time and be more efficient.
The Shark S1000 has a weight of 2g, but the Philips GC362 is a 952g steam cleaner (1kg lighter) and the Polti Moppy is a 2.8kg steam cleaner (820g heavier). More ...
'Weight' denotes the weight of the steam cleaner, without accessories attached.
A lighter steam cleaner is advantageous, because it makes it far easier to carry from room to room.
The Shark S1000 is four months older than the Dirt Devil Versa, 22 months older than the Philips GC362, 10 months older than the Polti Moppy and one month older than the VAX VRS26.
The Shark S1000's average user score is only 77%, however the Philips GC362's is 87% (based on 28 reviews).
The Shark S1000's average overall score is only 77%, however the Philips GC362's is 87% (based on 28 reviews).
