Samsung POWERbot R7065 vs Shark IQ Robot Vacuum with Self-Empty Base

The Shark IQ is the better pick for most homes, especially pet owners. Its self-empty base means you go weeks without touching the bin, and the self-cleaning brushroll handles hair without constant untangling. The Samsung R7065 has stronger rated suction (20 air watts) and longer runtime (90 minutes), but owners report more navigation snags and it still needs manual emptying after every run. Both sit at 3.7 stars, so neither is a standout on reliability.

  • Choose the Samsung POWERbot R7065 if you have a large open floor plan and want the longest runtime and strongest rated suction, and you don't mind emptying the bin yourself.
  • Choose the Shark IQ if you have pets or lots of hair, want the vacuum to empty itself for weeks, and prefer a lower-profile-friendly app setup with Alexa.

  • Samsung POWERbot R7065: $349.00 at Arbor (last seen Nov 12)

What reviewers say

Samsung POWERbot R7065

  • 3.7 / 5191 ratings

  • BuildCriticisedSome owners report failures and worn parts after months of regular use.

Questions and answers

Which is better for pet hair?
The Shark IQ. Its self-cleaning brushroll resists hair wrap and the self-empty base keeps pet hair out of your hands. The Samsung needs its brushroll cleaned by hand more often.
Which cleans better on carpet?
The Samsung has the higher rated suction at 20 air watts and holds power steady with CycloneForce, so it edges out on deep carpet. The Shark is tuned more for surface debris and pet hair.
Which lasts longer per charge?
The Samsung, at up to 90 minutes versus about 60 for the Shark. The Shark recharges faster, in roughly an hour.
Is the Shark worth stepping up to over the Samsung?
If you have pets or hate emptying bins, yes. The self-empty base and self-cleaning brushroll cut daily upkeep sharply. If you have large open floors and low furniture, the Samsung's runtime and lower profile may suit you better.
Do either work with Google Assistant?
Only the Samsung. It supports Alexa and Google Assistant. The Shark IQ lists Alexa support only.
Will the Shark fit under my sofa?
Check the clearance. The Shark is 5.6 inches tall, the Samsung 3.8 inches. The Samsung clears most low furniture; the Shark needs more room.
