Pick up this Roomba combo robot vacuum and mop for nearly half off during Amazon Prime Day
It's that time of year again when Amazon is hosting deals on everything from wireless earbuds to air fryers. Prime Day this year 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. A number of other iRobot machines are on sale for Prime Day as well. That includes the Roomba 104 with auto-empty dock for 44 percent off, down to $250, and the premium Roomba j9+ for 36 percent off, down to $579.

Virgin Media hands out free 4K smart TVs in flash summer sale – but it's ending soon
Virgin Media is offering new customers a free 50" Hisense 4K TV with its TV and broadband bundles, but the deal is set to end in days Virgin Media is back with another giveaway, this time offering free smart TVs in a flash summer sale. The provider is gifting new customers a free 50" Hisense Ultra HD Smart TV or £200 bill credit when they secure one of its TV and broadband bundles by Wednesday, July 9. Typically, Virgin's giveaway deals are only available with its more expensive TV and broadband offerings, but the latest deal is much more affordable. The most budget-friendly bundle is the £44.99 Bigger Combo bundle + Movies, which comes with more than 200 TV channels including Sky Cinema HD, plus 363Mbps fibre broadband. For those who favour sports over films, Virgin's £65.99 Bigger Combo bundle + Sports includes the same 362Mbps broadband and more than 200 TV channels. However, it replaces Sky Cinema with eight dedicated Sky Sports channels. For those who crave even more speed, the £78.99 Biggest Combo bundle boosts that broadband to a swift 516Mbps and piles on more than 210 channels, complete with both Sky Sports HD, Sky Cinema HD and Netflix's Standard with ads plan. The final option is Virgin's Mega Volt bundle at £84.99 a month, which boasts all the bells and whistles, including more than 230 TV channels featuring Sky Sports HD, Sky Cinema HD and Netflix Standard with ads, plus mega 1, 130Mbps broadband. On top of all this, the bundle comes with an O2 SIM card with unlimited data, minutes and texts, reports the Express. Each of these four packages includes a choice of a free TV or £200 bill credit. Each contract runs for 24 months and include no set-up fee. To check service availability, customers will need to enter their postcode on Virgin's website. However, one caveat is that each of the bundles will experience a price increase from April 2026, followed by another rise in April 2027, so it's vital to do the maths and ensure one can comfortably manage the bills over the two-year contract. When compared to Sky's own TV and broadband plans, Virgin typically comes in pricier, but it also offers more bang for shoppers' bucks by providing faster broadband and more TV channels. Sky's options start with the £35 Essential TV and Full Fibre 150 bundle, which includes roughly 100 channels fewer than Virgin's TV package, although one of these is Sky Atlantic which Virgin does not offer. There's also Sky's ultimate TV and Full Fibre 300 Broadband deal, which has 35 extra channels compared to the Essential package. It starts at £42 a month for a 24-month contract. Here's a breakdown of the eligible free TV packages:. Bigger Combo bundle + Movies – £44.99 per month Ideal for connected homes with four to six people and 10+ devices TV from everywhere, at home and on the go Sky Cinema HD and Sky channels Bigger Combo bundle + Sports – £65.99 per month Ideal for connected homes with four to six people and 10+ devices TV from everywhere, at home and on the go Eight Sky Sports channels, including Main Event and F1 Biggest Combo bundle Great for super-connected homes with six to eight people and 10+ devices My Watchlist allows you to save shows from anywhere, all in one place Sky channels, Sky Sports HD and Sky Cinema HD Netflix standard with ads Mega Volt bundle Blazing-fast speed for busy households gaming and streaming at the same time WiFi guarantee TV from everywhere, at home and on the go Sky Cinema HD and Sky Sports HD Netflix standard with ads It's recommended to thoroughly read the terms and conditions for any potential price hikes post-contract to avoid an unexpected hefty bill. If the cost is due to surge in the 25th month, consumers should be able to cancel before this happens, but consider whether this potential inconvenience is worth the initial free TV.

AIIMS Raipur nurse develops patented respiratory device to curb airborne infections
RAIPUR: Arokiaraj U, a Senior Nursing Officer in the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS) at AIIMS Raipur, developed a device named Highly Oxygenated Aerosol Controlled (HOAC) Combo. The Indian Patent Office in New Delhi granted a utility patent for the device. The HOAC Combo is a closed-system respiratory support unit designed to reduce the risk of airborne infections during nebulisation, sputum sampling, incentive spirometry, and low-flow oxygen therapy. It offers protection to both patients and healthcare workers. The HOAC device is currently in the functional prototype development phase, with efforts underway to secure funding. This will be followed by pilot studies and clinical validation, paving the way for its large-scale implementation in India and globally. Arokiaraj U showcased this device at the India Innovation Summit 2025, held on March 18–19 at Bharat Mandapam Convention Centre, New Delhi. The Department of Health Research (DHR) and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) organised the summit. The device has also been published on the ATLAS of Innovation platform, a research platform supporting the development of new technologies for TB elimination. Lt. Gen. Ashok Jindal (Retd), Executive Director and CEO of AIIMS Raipur, congratulated Arokiaraj, calling the development a significant achievement for AIIMS Raipur. AIIMS Raipur nominated Arokiaraj for the National Florence Nightingale Award and the National Science Award 2025 in recognition of his contribution. Arokiaraj expressed gratitude to the Medical Superintendent, the CTVS department, and the AIIMS administration for their support and guidance.
