5 Reasons Against for Choosing the Shark S3601
The Shark S3601 has a steam pressure of 3 bar (as does the Morphy Richards 720022), but the Polti Moppy is a 4.5 Bar steam pressure steam cleaner (1.5 bar bigger). 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 does not have a removable water tank, however the Dirt Devil Versa, the Morphy Richards 720022, the Polti Moppy and the Shark S1000 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, more expensive than the Morphy Richards 720022 by $35 and more expensive than the Shark S1000 by $20.
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 Polti Moppy by two years and older than the Shark S1000 by 16 months.
Our analysis of the Shark S3601 reviews indicates that more reviewers thought the Shark S3601 was less reasonably priced.
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.

6 Reasons For for Choosing the Shark S1000
The Shark S1000 has an adjustable steam, however the Dirt Devil Versa, the Morphy Richards 720022, the Polti Moppy and the Shark S3601 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 Morphy Richards 720022 and the Polti Moppy), whereas the Dirt Devil Versa and the Shark S3601 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, the Morphy Richards 720022 and the Polti Moppy, whereas the Shark S3601 does 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 Morphy Richards 720022, the Polti Moppy and the Shark S3601 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.

Shark steam cleaners have an average rating of 95%, whereas Dirt Devil only has an average rating of 61%, Morphy Richards only has an average rating of 59% and Polti only has an average rating of 75.5%.
6 Reasons Against for Choosing the Shark S1000
The Shark S1000 has a water capacity of 0.38L, however the Dirt Devil Versa, the Morphy Richards 720022 and the Polti Moppy are all 0.7L capacity steam cleaners (0.32L bigger). More ...
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 received a Kagoo Score of 85, however the Shark S3601 scored 88.
The Shark S1000 is $18 more expensive than the Dirt Devil Versa and $15 more expensive than the Morphy Richards 720022.
