This combo Roomba that vacuums and mops is nearly half off for Prime Day
We ranked iRobot's Roomba Robot Vacuum as our overall favorite budget option, but this Prime Day deal features a version that can both vacuum and mop. With the Prime Day price drop, the vacuum and mop combo is cheaper than the vacuum-only model, but it does double the work. The combo Roomba can even be set to only vacuum if you prefer to mop yourself, but you'd be missing out on the four-stage cleaning system that vacuums and mops in the same pass.
Since it's a Roomba, it's a straightforward setup process that takes a few minutes before you can set it and forget it. The robot vacuum can navigate through your house or apartment, avoiding furniture and stairs, thanks to onboard sensors. Once it drains through its battery, which can last up to 120 hours, the Roomba knows to return to its charging dock to recharge itself. You can even customize this combo Roomba with three levels of both suction power for vacuuming and water levels for mopping. For more control, you can program it to spot clean a single spot in your home or schedule cleaning times through the companion iRobot Home app.

Prediction: 2 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks That Will Be Worth More Than Nvidia by 2030
Key Points Nvidia has been the biggest beneficiary of AI spending among big tech companies. But Amazon and Meta Platforms are two tech giants seeing very strong results from investments in AI, and their future could be even brighter. Both trade at compelling valuations, especially compared to how expensive Nvidia has become. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Since October 2022, Nvidia has seen its value increase by more than $4 trillion. To put that into perspective, no other company is even worth $4 trillion today. The huge surge in value for the maker of graphics processing units (GPUs) stems from a few big tech companies spending hundreds of billions on its chips every year. The four biggest hyperscalers are set to spend around $380 billion on AI infrastructure this year, and they have guided for significant steps up in spending next year. Nvidia is set to be the prime beneficiary of that increased spending for some time, but that doesn't mean the stock will continue to climb. Market prices are based on what investors expect in the future, and the expectations for Nvidia remain high. But two other AI stocks look like they could surpass investor expectations, pushing both companies to exceed Nvidia's value by 2030. Can Nvidia keep climbing from here? Continued growth in AI spending is giving investors more and more confidence that Nvidia can keep up its torrid sales growth. The three main public cloud providers all reiterated that demand exceeds computing capacity, which means they will continue to spend growing amounts to meet their customers' needs. Meanwhile, Nvidia is selling chips as fast as it can make them. That led to a 69% rise in revenue in the company's first quarter, and a 59% increase in adjusted income. But it's unlikely to see growth continue at this pace. All four hyperscalers are working on custom silicon solutions for their own AI training. Microsoft is reportedly planning to shift a significant portion of its spending to its Maia300 chip in late 2026. Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) is working on expanding the AI workloads that its custom Meta Training and Inference Accelerating (MTIA) chips can handle. And on top of all of that, AMD is starting to show progress in catching up to Nvidia, while continuing to offer excellent price performance. Investors should expect a significant slowdown in sales as Nvidia faces fierce competition for its share of data center servers and it battles with the law of large numbers. As supply-demand forces reach equilibrium, the chipmaker might not be able to command such high gross margins, either. That could weigh on earnings growth. But with the stock currently trading at more than 42 times forward earnings, investors seem to think those risks aren't going to materialize. I think it's more likely they will keep Nvidia from continuing to outperform the market at such a torrid pace, limiting how much more upside there is from here. If investors want to buy shares of a big tech company capitalizing on the growth of AI, the following two industry giants present better value with more upside. In fact, I expect they will both be worth more than Nvidia by 2030. 1. Amazon Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is the largest provider of public cloud computing in the world with Amazon Web Services (AWS), making it one of Nvidia's biggest customers. While the company was caught flat-footed as generative AI took off in 2022, management quickly caught up with the competition thanks in part to its investment in Anthropic. Management continues to see strong demand for its AI services, with revenue more than doubling year over year. However, AWS's scale has masked that strong growth. The cloud services segment generated $116 billion in revenue over the last 12 months. That's roughly 55% larger than its next closest competitor, Microsoft. But AWS's 17% year-over-year growth looks disappointing compared to Microsoft's 39% growth in cloud services last quarter. Nonetheless, Amazon has mostly kept its market share despite strong growth by its competitors. What's more important is that the margin profile on AWS is extremely strong. The operating margin of 36.8% over the last 12 months is up from 33.4% a year ago. And while it took a dip in the second quarter, that's due to the timing of share-based compensation. The long-term trend shows continued improvement in margins. Meanwhile, Amazon's retail business is becoming very profitable in its own right. The North American segment saw its operating margin climb to 7% last quarter while the international segment's margin came in at 3.4%. Strong top-line growth of 11% for both helped, which was bolstered by high-margin ad revenue growth of 22%. The long-term trends favor steady revenue growth across Amazon's businesses with particular strength in its high-margin operations (namely AWS and advertising). That should result in earnings growth well above average. And as its spending growth on AWS slows down, free cash flow should rise to new records by the end of the decade. That gives the company more opportunities to invest for growth, just as it has managed to do throughout its history. The stock currently looks attractive amid a small pullback in price. 2. Meta Platforms Meta is another major Nvidia customer, but unlike Amazon, it only uses Nvidia chips for its own AI needs. In fact, it might be spending more on its own AI needs than any other company in the world. And Meta's second-quarter results are a clear example of why it's willing to spend so much. Sales grew 22% last quarter, and its operating margin expanded 5 percentage points. For some perspective, that's faster revenue growth than both Snap and Pinterest despite being a much bigger force in social media advertising. Meta's AI capabilities are a clear reason for the outperformance. Artificial intelligence has led to better recommendations for both advertisements and organic content. As a result, the company served up more ads and was able to command higher pricing per ad impression. Meanwhile, it's seeing strong uptake of its generative AI tools for ad creation, which makes it easier for marketers to create and test new ideas. There are a number of other opportunities that AI could unlock. Those include AI chatbots for businesses in WhatsApp and Messenger, which could drive increased click-to-message ads in Facebook and Instagram. And management has said its Meta AI chatbot built into its apps now has 1 billion monthly active users, giving it yet another surface to monetize with ads. It only recently started showing ads in WhatsApp and Threads. That should give it room to grow supply as demand increases due to its generative AI tools making advertising easier. Lastly, Meta is at the forefront of development in augmented and virtual reality. AI can unlock a lot of value in an environment that's also aware of your surroundings. The company has already seen strong early adoption of its Meta Glasses with AI built in. Shares look very attractive with an enterprise value around 16 times forward estimates on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). While depreciation of its data centers will weigh on its margins, the company is proving the investments are paying off with very strong revenue growth and by unlocking a lot of potential profits in the long run.

Tiger Global buys more Nvidia, Amazon, exits surging tech stocks
Billionaire investor Chase Coleman started his career at Julian Robertson's legendary Tiger Management, and when the fund closed in 2000, he started his own firm, Tiger Global Management. Now, Coleman is well known for chasing hot tech names worldwide, investing in both public stocks and private startups, keeping the aggressive style Robertson was famous for. Now the best-known "Tiger Cubs," Tiger Global has a 1-year performance of 41.38% and a 3-year gain of 105.17%, according to data from Stockcircle. Coleman's famous investments include early bets on Google (GOOGL) and Amazon (AMZN) , as well as building positions in private companies like Facebook (now Meta (META) ) and LinkedIn before their IPOs. That same eye now guides his latest moves, blending bold new bets with timely exits. During the second quarter of 2025, Coleman significantly increased his portfolio value and shuffled key holdings. Here are some of his most notable moves. Image source: Widak/NurPhoto via Getty Images According to a latest 13F filing, Coleman's Tiger Global ramped up its Big Tech bets in Q2, driving a 28% jump in the value of its public holdings from $26.6 billion at the end of Q1 to $34.1 billion as of June 30. That includes adding shares of several mega-cap tech names and starting a new position in a recently listed stock. Related: Warren Buffett buys battered stock, sells more Apple Amazon was the top buy. Tiger Global added its Amazon holdings by over 4.1 million shares, or roughly 62.2%, bringing its total to about 10.7 million shares by quarter's end. This major purchase vaulted the e-commerce giant's value in the portfolio from $1.25 billion to $2.34 billion, making it Tiger Global's fourth-largest holding, accounting for 6.9%. In Q2 2025, Amazon delivered a 13 % revenue increase to $167.7 billion. Still, Amazon shares slid after the Q2 earnings report as it gave lighter-than-expected income guidance for the current period. The fund also expanded its Reddit (RDDT) stake by 89.2%, bringing it to about 6.1 million shares. It also increased its exposure to the semiconductor leaders, adding shares of Nvidia (NVDA) by 6.8% to about 11.7 million shares. The move reflects confidence in Nvidia's position at the center of AI hardware demand. The stock is up 34% this year and is trading near a record, closing at $180.45 on August 15. The recent bullish narrative was partly driven by renewed access to China's market, after the U.S. approved AI chip exports under a deal requiring a 15% fee on China sales. The fund's stake in Broadcom (AVGO) also got a lift, with a 19% rise to about 2.7 million shares. The fund's Q2 filing showed a notable new position in Circle Internet (CRCL) , buying 125,000 shares of the stablecoin and digital payments company. The stock has fallen about 23.6% over the past month but remains up 116% since its June IPO. Wall Street analysts have an average price target of $171.43, suggesting roughly 15% upside. Tiger Global's biggest sales in the second quarter were Chinese e-commerce company PDD Holdings (PDD) , DoorDash (DASH) , and ServiceNow (NOW) . The firm exited PDD entirely, closing what had once been a sizable stake. PDD, the parent of Temu, is up 26% year-to-date. The sell-off may reflect caution over U.S.–China trade tensions or a decision to allocate capital in other tech names. Related: Cathie Wood sells $28 million of popular AI stock In DoorDash, Tiger Global sold nearly all of its holdings, about 98.8% or roughly 2.17 million shares. The fund first started a position in DoorDash in late 2020, exited in the fourth quarter of 2022 after a prolonged slump, and then rebuilt the stake in the third quarter of 2023.

The recent sale could mark another deliberate exit, taking advantage of a higher price to lock in gains. ServiceNow was also reduced. Tiger Global cut the position by 48%, leaving about 300,000 shares. While ServiceNow remains a strong player in enterprise workflow software, the reduction also likely suggests a profit-taking approach.

On March 12, 2025, iRobot issued a press release reporting its fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results.

Accordingly, "[g]iven these uncertainties and the implication they may have on the Company's financials, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of the issuance of its consolidated 2024 financial statements.' On this news, iRobot's stock price fell $3.255 per share, or 51.58%, over the following two trading sessions, to close at $3.055 per share on March 13, 2025.
