Roomba robot vacuums are on sale right now via Wellbots and some of the deals are absolutely fantastic. The biggest discount is for the well-regarded Combo j9+, which is pretty much the company’s top-tier robovac. This vacuum and mop hybrid is typically a jaw-dropping $1,400, but this deal brings the price down to $980. Just enter the code “ENGT420” at checkout.

$980 at Wellbots

We loved this unit in our official review, calling it “the ideal robot vacuum and mop” and “a godsend for tired parents.” The vacuuming performance is excellent and mop is a great bonus for mild cleaning duties (it doesn’t excel with sticky messes.) The obstacle detection is fantastic. It’ll avoid furniture, walls and even pet-related fecal matter. It’s a high-end Roomba. You know the drill.

The base is designed well and allows the vac to get stuff done on its own. The vacuum will perform its cleaning duties and empty debris right into the base. This base can accommodate 60 days of solid debris and 30 days of liquid mess before having to be manually emptied. It also features an area for storing accessories.

About the only bad thing one can say about this vacuum is the exorbitant price. The typical cost of $1,400 is simply outrageous, despite being one heck of a cleaning robot. The discount to $980 makes it a more palatable option, but it’s still closing in a grand.

If you want a good robot vacuum and don’t have an endless supply of money, there are other items on sale. The original Roomba j9+, without the mop, is available for $580 instead of $900. Just enter the code “ENGT320” at checkout. The Roomba Combo j7+, which does include a mop, is $680 instead of $1,000 with the code “ENGT320” at checkout. Incidentally, this one made our list of the best robot vacuums.

  • Apple set for biggest revenue jump in two years on iPhone demand in China

    Apple is expected to report its biggest quarterly revenue jump in two years on Thursday, with iPhone demand faring better than recent years toward the end of the company's annual release cycle, especially in China. The results will provide investors the first hints of demand for the latest iPhone 16 series, which was released a few days before the end of the company's fiscal fourth quarter.

  • Here's what Apple Intelligence can do

    Apple (AAPL) has rolled out its highly anticipated AI features, called Apple Intelligence. Yahoo Finance Tech Editor Dan Howley joins Wealth! to break down its features and capabilities. "Essentially, the big takeaway from this is it's a start for Apple. This isn't going to be the thing that gets people rushing out the door to buy iPhones right away, but it does start to lay the groundwork for what we will see that could get people more interested in re-upping their phones when it comes to the next iteration of Apple Intelligence. And that's currently in beta," Howley tells Yahoo Finance. He notes that the next iteration of Apple Intelligence will include features like ChatGPT integration with Siri and Visual Look Up. However, in this current version of Apple Intelligence, users will be able to receive notification summaries, from text messages to news reports. There is also a tool that will be able to proofread writing and summarize emails. In addition, there will be a Clean Up feature in photos that can remove unwanted objects in the background. Watch the video above to hear how Howley anticipates consumers will react to the new features. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Wealth here.
