This combo Roomba that vacuums and mops is nearly half off for Prime Day
It's that time of year again when Amazon is hosting deals on everything from wireless earbuds to air fryers. Starting July 8, Prime Day will run for four days with deep price cuts on smart home gadgets, including the Roomba Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo from iRobot that drops down to an all-time low of $140 from its original $275 price tag. While this Roomba was marked down to $149 earlier this year, the Prime Day deal is the first time we're seeing a 49 percent discount.
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.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are one of the richest married couples. Here's how the ultrawealthy do prenups.
With Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez now married, they're likely to have a complex prenup. Lawyers and wealth management experts outlined the prenup process for the superrich. Business control, property ownership, and trusts are just some of the questions prenups tackle. Hindsight is 20/20 — especially when hindsight is worth $38 billion. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie Scott, his first wife, got married without a prenup (in 1993, before Bezos started Amazon). Scott received roughly $38 billion in Amazon shares in the settlement, making her one of the world's richest women. On Friday, Bezos got married again, this time to helicopter pilot and former journalist Lauren Sánchez. Experts in family law and wealth management told Business Insider that the couple is almost certain to have a complex prenup. Bezos is, after all, worth more than $200 billion today. A representative for Bezos didn't respond to a request for comment from BI about whether the couple has a prenup. Anne Paape, the managing director and head of wealth strategy at Cresset Capital, a multi-family office for entrepreneurs and multi-generational families of wealth, said prenups are generally becoming more common and are sometimes even mandated in family trusts for the ultrawealthy. Prenups begin with both people fully disclosing their financial assets and debts, she said. Besides family, they can also involve everyone from business partners and tax attorneys to luxury realtors and aviation experts who help appraise homes and private jets, said Brooke Summerhill, a divorce financial consultant who primarily works with ultra-high net worth clients. "It's not the clients making a lot of these decisions, it's their team helping them understand what those decisions are and making those decisions with them," she told BI. Paape doesn't know the details of Bezos' potential prenup but said his situation isn't entirely unique: Many superrich weddings mark second or third marriages for at least one spouse, often one whose assets have changed considerably since their first time tying the knot. "He will absolutely have protection against anything that he could," Summerhill said, adding that he likely won't let his pre-marriage assets co-mingle with Sánchez's assets. The more money you have, the more potential prenup headaches you'll have, especially when it comes to business interests and properties. Wealthy clients tend to have properties and business interests around the globe, making it harder to ensure compliance with divorce and death laws in various jurisdictions. Many entrepreneurs like Bezos are focused on insulating their businesses in the event of a divorce or death. Most don't want to risk giving an ex-partner enough stock to have a say in how the company runs, Paape told BI. "You could try to compensate for keeping that off the table," Paape said. "What else if you were to get divorced? What other resources could you provide to that person?" Clauses safeguarding the appreciation of assets during a marriage are also key for wealthy clients, Summerhill said. If the couple ever divorces, it's not unlikely that Sánchez would get a lump sum, Amazon shares, and some real estate, according to Summerhill and Raymond Hekmat, a family law attorney in Beverly Hills who primarily writes prenups. But a marriage can also end in death, and that's where a death clause can come in. As Summerhill put it, this "prevents the surviving spouse from claiming a bigger portion of that deceased person's separate property." A surviving spouse commonly receives a lump sum or life insurance payout upon their spouse's death, she said, but a last will and testament may take precedent over the prenup. Prenups for the ultrawealthy have repercussions beyond the couple, whether it's about who takes over the family empire or gets the keys to the Hamptons home. "There's more people that care about the resolution of that breakup, whether it's divorce or death," Paape said. "It's business partners, it's employees, it's charities you support, it's children and grandchildren." She said trusts "are a no-brainer " for children of the ultrarich and that many provisions deal with inherited property or business ownership. Bezos shares four children with Scott, and Sánchez has three kids. Hekmat said all the prenups he draws up have a confidentiality provision, and some can include social media restrictions. "In the event of a breakup, you can't disparage the other party or discuss the prenup in any way with the public, and there could be penalties involved," he said. Prenups can also include sunset clauses, which say that some provisions or even the full agreement expires after a certain period of time. Some people may choose to change certain provisions and become more generous after they've been with their spouse for a while, Paape said. Hekmat said that even with prenups, couples risk messy legal and financial fights down the line. Proclaimed love and devotion aside, he kept his advice for the Bezoses of the world simple. "My bottom line for billionaires is don't get married." Have a tip or a story to share about your own experiences with a prenup?

Should You Buy Roku Stock After Its Partnership With Amazon?
Roku's recent partnership with Amazon makes the streaming specialist more attractive. Although it still faces some headwinds, Roku's long-term prospects remain bright. The stock doesn't look too expensive at current levels, either. 10 stocks we like better than Roku › On June 16, Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) announced a partnership with Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) that will allow advertisers access to the streaming specialist's ecosystem through Amazon's advertising platform. This agreement represents a significant move forward for Roku. Although the stock has encountered some headwinds over the past year, this new development once again highlights why Roku stock is worth investing in for those focused on the long game. Let's dig deeper into this partnership between Roku and Amazon -- as well as the rest of the former's business -- to understand why. Amazon is a notable player in the connected TV (CTV) market. However, Roku continues to reign supreme -- it holds a leading market share in the U.S. Amazon's size advantage has not allowed it to take over the top spot, and it's now partnering with its longtime rival. Amazon and Roku will combine their respective audiences, comprising 80 million households and more than 80% of CTV accounts in the U.S., and grant advertisers exclusive access to this large ecosystem through Amazon's demand-side ad platform. This is a win for Roku too. Here's why. One significant long-term opportunity for the company is the continued switch from cable to streaming for viewers and advertisers. However, a highly fragmented CTV landscape presented advertisers with several challenges, including difficulties in reaching targeted audiences across various platforms and effectively managing ad frequency. Roku noted in a recent press release: Early tests of this integration have shown significant results. Advertisers using this new solution reached 40% more unique viewers with the same budget and reduced how often the same person saw an ad by nearly 30%, enabling advertisers to benefit from three times more value from their ad spend. In other words, advertisers should get greater returns from the same amount of spending. The deal helps address some pain points they had and helps sell even more companies on the benefits of pouring ad dollars into the kind of platform that Roku offers. It's worth highlighting again that this deal is valuable to every party involved, largely because of Roku's leading CTV ecosystem. It also points to the strength of its network effect. Since the value of Roku's platform only increases as its audience numbers grow, partnerships of this kind could become more common. Roku has encountered some issues in recent years. Its average revenue per user (ARPU) has stalled, while it remains unprofitable. Though the company no longer reports the ARPU metric, management previously attributed poor ARPU growth to the company's expansion efforts in markets outside the U.S., where it is focusing on scale first, rather than monetization. That's the same blueprint it followed in its more mature markets when it sometimes sold its namesake devices at a loss to onboard enough households within its ecosystem. Investors have seen the results of this strategy in the U.S., where Roku already holds a leading market share. This should give investors confidence that it can achieve similar results in other regions. What about the persistent red ink on the bottom line? Investors vastly prefer profitable companies, especially in this uncertain economic and geopolitical environment. But Roku is making strides in this department too. In the company's first quarter, revenue came in at $1.03 billion, up 16% year over year. The company's net loss per share was $0.19, an improvement from the $0.35 per share loss it reported in the prior-year quarter. Roku might not be consistently profitable, but the company is growing its top line at a good clip and making progress on the bottom line. And overall, the company is still in a great position to cash in on the massive long-term shift from cable to streaming. And here's one more thing that makes the stock attractive. Roku's forward price-to-sales ratio is 2.6 as of this writing. In a stock market at all-time highs and valuations reaching unsustainable levels, Roku's modest valuation is especially rare for a growth stock in a leading industry position. For this and all the other reasons, it's worth purchasing the company's shares.
