I test robot vacuums for a living and this Roomba is the one cheap deal I'd snap up for Prime Day

Tom's Guide10-07-2025
I've tried-and-tested my fair share of vacuum cleaners for a living, yet absolutely nothing beats the convenience, impressive power, and handy features of the best robot vacuums — all at a touch of a button.
And since such smart gadgets often come at an eye-watering price, I've just spotted an impressive deal on a top Roomba robot and mop vacuum cleaner, not to be missed.
Right now, the iRobot Roomba 104 Robot Vacuum & Mop Combo is down to just $249 Amazon. That's an incredible 44% discount, saving you a substantial $200 off. In fact, it's the lowest it's ever been on Amazon!
So if you want to clean smarter (not harder), this is one deal that won't be staying on the shelves for too long.
If you're looking for a powerful Roomba that can sweep and mop, this is a bargain. With 70x more suction power to pick up crumbs, and deep mopping can tackle the toughest of stains. You can custom clean and schedule it to clean certain rooms, all from a touch on your phone. And at $200 off, this is a deal not to be missed.
For those with messy children or pets, you'll appreciate letting the Roomba 104 combo loose around the house, doing all the hard work. Simply set it and forget, and it will give you more time to do other (exciting) things.
With its powerful suction, this all-in-one vacuum can quickly suck up dirt, debris and dust in no time, and is smart enough to detect stains and deep clean them away.
What's more, the the Roomba 104 automatically detects and avoids carpets during mopping so that your rugs are not left wet or damp.
It comes with ClearView LiDAR which quickly maps out your home to maximize coverage, and its advanced sensors can avoid obstacles and prevent falling down stairs. And you can customize, set schedules and target specific rooms to suit your daily routine.
More importantly, the Roomba 104 self-empties its dustbin, holding 75 days of dirt — so you'll never have to get your hands dirty. Win-Win!
This discount crashes the price down to just $250, and since it's a limited-time Prime Day offer, it could end at any time, so don't hang about if you're after a premium cleaner for your home without breaking the bank.

Billionaire Bill Ackman just bought this world-class growth stock for his FTSE 100 fund

Billionaire Bill Ackman, who manages FTSE 100 investment trust Pershing Square Holdings, is one of the biggest names in the investment world. So I always keep an eye on his trades. Last week, Ackman's firm, Pershing Square Capital, filed its Form 13F with US regulators, providing insight into the shares the investment guru bought and sold in the second quarter of 2025. And it turns out that he's just bought one of my favourite growth stocks. One of my largest holdings The stock I'm referring to is Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). The e-commerce and cloud computing powerhouse is one of the largest positions in my portfolio today. For Ackman, it's now quite a sizeable position too. According to his 13F filing, he owned around $1.3bn worth of Amazon stock at the end of the second quarter (5,823,316 shares). That represented roughly 8.88% of his US stock holdings. So he's clearly bullish on the technology company. It's worth pointing out that Ackman may have paid a much lower price than the current $230. Because this stock took a big hit in the tariff meltdown in April. At one stage, it was trading below $170. I believe that's when Ackman began acquiring the stock. Still, I'm encouraged by his buying activity here because Ackman – who does his research and generally holds on to stocks for the long term – has a great track record. Worth a look today? Is Amazon stock worth considering at $230 today? I think so. There is some uncertainty on the e-commerce side of the business in the short term due to tariffs. These could result in higher prices and lower levels of consumer spending. However, taking a long-term view, this company just has so much potential, in my view. Today, Amazon's the largest player globally in the cloud computing market. And this industry is forecast to grow by around 15-20% a year between now and 2030. Linked to cloud computing is artificial intelligence (AI) – another huge growth industry. In the years ahead, Amazon's hoping to become a one-stop shop for AI solutions in the same way it has become a one-stop shop for online shopping. It's also a major player in digital advertising. This is a lucrative industry and Amazon's now the third largest player behind Google and Meta. Add in other growth avenues such as space broadband (Project Kuiper), self-driving cars (Zoox), robotics, and digital healthcare and the future looks very bright. I'd be very surprised if its market-cap isn't significantly bigger in five years' time. Of course, I'm not expecting the share price to rise in a straight line. It will be volatile at times, and there may be better buying opportunities in the months ahead. But at current levels, I still like it. The stock's in an uptrend and the valuation remains near historical lows.

Bernstein breaks down the battle for e-grocery delivery

-- Bernstein says the race for dominance in U.S. same-day grocery delivery is intensifying, with Amazon's expanded perishable offering adding pressure to an already competitive market. In a recent report the brokerage said Walmart's scale and store footprint give it a structural advantage, allowing it to reach 93% of the U.S. population within three hours. While Walmart's same-day operation is costlier than third-party (3P) platforms because it uses its own staff for in-store fulfillment, Bernstein estimated that only about 20% of that labor cost is incremental, putting its effective fulfillment and delivery cost at $13–$19 per $75 order, still high, but closer to 3P operators such as Instacart, DoorDash and Uber Eats. The brokerage noted that Walmart is likely to use same-day delivery as a loss leader to drive Walmart+ memberships and boost its retail media business, which it projects could become a $10 billion U.S. operation by 2030. Amazon, meanwhile, is cutting its free delivery threshold for Prime members to $25, adding perishables but keeping the service separate from Whole Foods and Fresh, which Bernstein said could create some consumer confusion. Instacart, DoorDash and Uber are leaning on their 3P models to offer broad retailer selection, fast delivery, with Instacart reporting that 80% of its orders are on-demand, and growing subscription benefits. Bernstein estimated Instacart's base shopper earnings at about $9 per order before tips, making it more cost-efficient than Walmart on a pure labor basis. However, 3P platforms face challenges such as product mark-ups and imperfect inventory visibility. Bernstein rates Walmart, Amazon, Instacart, DoorDash and Uber all 'outperform,' citing room for online grocery penetration to grow and opportunities for retail media to support profitability across both integrated and 3P delivery models.
