Purchasers report that Shark S3601 has great user reviews with an average user rating of 87%, based on 106 reviews.
5 Reasons For for Choosing the Shark S3601
The Shark S3601 has a steam pressure of 3 bar (as does the Morphy Richards 720022), however the VAX VRS26 is only a 1 Bar steam pressure steam cleaner (2 bar smaller). More ...
'Steam Pressure' denotes the maximum steam pressure that the steam cleaner can achieve.
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. Therefore a steamer with more powerful pressure capabilities will be able to better tackle nastier stains.
The Shark S3601 has received a Kagoo Score of 88, whereas the Dirt Devil Versa scored 79, the Morphy Richards 720022 scored only 71, the Philips GC351 scored only 78 and the VAX VRS26 scored only 72.
A greater number of retailers increases the price competition amongst retailers for this steam cleaner and also increases the chances of the product remaining in stock.
Shark steam cleaners have an average rating of 95%, but Dirt Devil only has an average rating of 61%, Morphy Richards only has an average rating of 59%, Philips only has an average rating of 75.9% and VAX only has an average rating of 61.6%.
Our analysis of the Shark S3601 reviews indicates that more reviewers thought the Shark S3601 was easier to use. Over 10 people thought that it was very easy to use and four people thought that it was also really easy to assemble.
5 Reasons Against for Choosing the Shark S3601
The Shark S3601 does not have a removable water tank (As does the the VAX VRS26), whereas the Dirt Devil Versa, the Morphy Richards 720022 and the Philips GC351 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 S3601 is more expensive than the Dirt Devil Versa by $38 and more expensive than the Morphy Richards 720022 by $35.
The Shark S3601 is older than the Dirt Devil Versa by 21 months, older than the Morphy Richards 720022 by 17 months, older than the Philips GC351 by two years and older than the VAX VRS26 by 17 months.
The average user rating of the Shark S3601 is 87%, whereas the average user rating of the Philips GC351 is 90% (based on 14 reviews).
The average overall rating of the Shark S3601 is 87%, whereas the average overall rating of the Philips GC351 is 90% (based on 14 reviews).
The cheapest price that we could find for the S3601 in the US is $70.00 but in total we found only 2 prices for it.
