Speaker Johnson Establishes Rules for Israel/Taiwan/Ukraine Aid Bills; Vote Set for Saturday

It goes without saying that iRobot is obviously one of the biggest names in the robot vacuum market. So many of the company's Roomba robot vacuums have received high praise from reviewers‚ including myself. But there's one model that has always stood out to me more than anything else. I consider the Roomba s9+ to be the ultimate robot vacuum‚ and a great deal just slashed this model to the lowest price ever. With a retail price of $1‚000‚ the Roomba s9+ is well outside of the price range many shoppers are looking for. But a massive $400 discount drops it all the way down to just $599.99. This is the best robot vacuum deal you can get right now‚ and I'll explain all the reasons why. Despite all the great new models from iRobot like the Roomba Combo j9+‚ the s9+ is still my favorite Roomba overall. iRobot Roomba s9+ Self Emptying Robot Vacuum - Empties Itself for 60 Days‚ Detects &; Cleans Aro… Price: $599.99 (reg. $1‚000) You Save: $400.00 (40%) Buy Now iRobot Roomba i4 EVO Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuum – Clean by Room with Smart Mapping Compatible… Price: $209.99 (reg. $365) You Save: $100.00 (25%) Buy Now iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO (3550) Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum – Now Clean by Room with Smart Mapping‚… Price: $499 (reg. $550) You Save: $149.78 (27%) Buy Now iRobot Roomba j7+ (7550) Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum – Avoids Common Obstacles Like Socks‚ Shoes… Price: $649.99 (reg. $800) You Save: $230.00 (29%) Buy Now If you want to know all the reasons why I think that the Roomba S9+ is the best robot vacuum that iRobot has ever made‚ be sure to read through my Roomba s9+ review. In it‚ you'll learn all about what makes this one of the best-performing robot vacuums ever made. It all boils down to two main things‚ really. First‚ this model is iRobot's most powerful Roomba robot vacuum ever. According to the company‚ the Roomba s9+ is a whopping 40 times more powerful than iRobot's entry-level 600-series robot vacuums. If you've ever tried a 600-series model‚ you know that the suction is already pretty powerful. iRobot's mid-range models are obviously a bit more impressive‚ but the s9+ takes things to an entirely different level. With one pass‚ it handles all the dirt and dust in my home with ease. Second‚ the Roomba s9+ has a design that's totally different than other Roomba models from iRobot. It has extra-wide rubber rollers that span nearly the entire width of the robot. Combined with this unit's powerful suction‚ I found in my review that the Roomba s9+ is the only robot vacuum that can thoroughly handle my dog's long hair on rugs. If you have a pet that sheds constantly like I do‚ this is definitely the best model for you. Even newer models like the Roomba Combo j9+ that I reviewed recently can't match the performance of the s9+ when it comes to pet hair. The Roomba s9+'s wide rubber rollers make quick work of pesky pet hair. Image source: Maren Estrada for BGR Those features are fantastic‚ but there's plenty more to appreciate on the Roomba s9+. For example‚ the auto-empty base station holds up to 60 days of dirt‚ dust‚ and pet hair. That means you can go for two months (or‚ as I've found‚ even longer) without even thinking about your robot vacuum. If the Roomba s9+ seems too good to be true‚ that's because‚ for many people‚ it is too good to be true. The sky-high $1‚000 price tag means that this model is completely out of reach for many shoppers. But that's what makes today's sale so fantastic. Amazon's massive $400 discount slashes the price down to an all-time low of $599.99. At that price‚ no other robot vacuum out there can even come close to comparing. iRobot Roomba s9+ Self Emptying Robot Vacuum - Empties Itself for 60 Days‚ Detects &; Cleans Aro… Price: $599.99 You Save: $400.00 (40%) Buy Now Other Roomba robot vacuum models are also on sale right now‚ in case you're looking for some options. Among all the deals out there right now‚ I can recommend two others. The Roomba i4 EVO is a bargain at $299.99. This model retails for $400‚ and it's great if you're looking for a powerful mid-range robot vacuum. Or‚ if you want something with an auto-empty base like the s9+‚ check out the Roomba i3+ EVO. This model retails for $550‚ but it's on sale right now for $399. If you can afford it‚ I would highly recommend spending the extra $200 and getting the s9+ instead. But the i3+ is still a great value at this discounted price. iRobot Roomba i4 EVO Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuum – Clean by Room with Smart Mapping Compatible… Price: $299.99 (reg. $400) You Save: $100.00 (25%) Buy Now iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO (3550) Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum – Now Clean by Room with Smart Mapping‚… Price: $399 (reg. $550) You Save: $149.78 (27%) Buy Now Don't Miss: Today’s deals: $89 AirPods‚ 40% off Crest 3D Whitestrips‚ $249 iPad‚ $279 Lenovo IdeaPad 1 laptop‚ more The post iRobot has so many new models‚ but the Roomba s9+ is still my favorite appeared first on BGR.

Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager have been working together on Today for half a decade now and that’s been plenty of time for them to learn each other’s flaws. The two just celebrated their five-year anniversary and Kotb celebrated the milestone by revealing Jenna’s most frustrating trait—with a pleasant twist. On April 11 and 12‚ Kotb and Hager hosted Today from New Orleans‚ both for their special anniversary and‚ it just so happened‚ on the 40th annual French Quarter Festival. Hoda actually has a long history with the area and wants her daughters‚ Hope and Haley‚ to consider it as another home. But in the meantime‚ Kotb had a blast celebrating her home at the studio with Jenna—and some sweet teasing&;#33; Hoda Kotb shares Jenna Bush Hager’s biggest flaw Hoda Kotb shared Jenna Bush Hager’s biggest flaw‚ which she also called a strength / YouTube screenshot Speaking with Entertainment Tonight on April 11‚ Hoda discussed the woman she’s been working with on the same show for five years now. “We don’t like to look for the flaws‚” she gently began‚ “however‚ if you’re asking‚ it’s also one of her plusses — she’s wildly competitive.” RELATED: Hoda Kotb And Jenna Bush Hager Discuss The Challenges Of Being A Caregiver Fortunately‚ there’s a caveat of it being a positive aspect of her. But‚ Hoda went on‚ “Even when she doesn’t win.” Jenna did not deny these claims. “I am competitive‚” she agreed‚ and not just at the office. “I’m actually working on my sportsmanship … just trying to make sure I’m a better sport.” That was it for Hoda‚ but Jenna had some more confessions to share. She admitted she’s thrown out artwork made by her kids. “It made me feel bad‚” she shared. “I felt like I needed to stop doing that because they know.” Jenna and husband Henry Hager are the proud parents of Mila‚ 10‚ Poppy‚ 8‚ and Hal‚ 4.

The last total solar eclipse across the Mexico‚ the U.S. and Canada for a generation wows observers. Did you see it&;#63; Last week’s total solar eclipse did not disappoint‚ as viewers from the Pacific coast of Mexico‚ across the U.S. from Texas to Maine and through the Canadian Maritime provinces were treated to an unforgettable show. The weather threw us all a curve-ball one week out‚ as favored sites in Texas and Mexico fought to see the event through broken clouds‚ while areas along the northeastern track from New Hampshire and Maine onward were actually treated to clear skies. Many eclipse chasers scrambled to reposition themselves at the last minute as totality approached. In northern Maine‚ it was amusing to see tiny Houlton‚ Maine become the epicenter of all things eclipse-based. Tales of a Total Solar Eclipse We were also treated to some amazing images of the eclipse from Earth and space. NASA also had several efforts underway to chase the eclipse. Even now‚ we’re still processing the experience. It takes time (and patience&;#33;) for astro-photos to make their way through the workflow. Here are some of the best images we’ve seen from the path of totality: Tony Dunn had an amazing experience‚ watching the eclipse from Mazatlan‚ Mexico. “When totality hit‚ it didn’t look real‚” Dunn told Universe Today. “It looked staged‚ like a movie studio. the lighting is something that can’t be experienced outside a total solar eclipse.” Totality on April 8th‚ with prominences. Credit: Tony Dunn. Dunn also caught an amazing sight‚ as the shadow of the Moon moved across the low cloud cover: #Eclipse2024 #Mazatlan The shadow of the Moon crosses the sky. pic.twitter.com/9FEf4TTK8r — Tony Dunn (@tony873004) April 14‚ 2024 Black Hole Sun Peter Forister caught the eclipse from central Indiana. “It was my second totality (after 2017 in South Carolina)‚ so I knew what was coming‚” Forister told Universe Today. “But it was still as incredible and beautiful as anything I’ve ever seen in nature. The Sun and Moon seemed huge in my view—a massive black hole (like someone took a hole punch to the sky) surrounded by white and blue flames streaking out. Plus‚ there was great visibility of the planets and a few stars. The memory has been playing over and over in my head since it happened—and it’s combined with feelings of awe and wonder at how beautiful our Universe and planet really are. The best kind of memory&;#33;” Totality over Texas. Credit: Eliot Herman Like many observers‚ Eliot Herman battled to see the eclipse through clouds. “As you know‚ we had really frustrating clouds‚” Herman told Universe Today. “I shot a few photos (in) which you can see the eclipse embedded in the clouds and then uncovered to show the best part. For me it almost seemed like a cosmic mocking‚ showing me what a great eclipse it was‚ and lifting the veil only at the end of the eclipse to show me what I missed…” Totality and solar prominences seen through clouds. Credit: Eliot Herman Totality Crosses Into Canada Astrophotographer Andrew Symes also had a memorable view from Cornwall‚ Ontario. “While I’ve seen many beautiful photos and videos from many sources‚ they don’t match what those us there in person saw with our eyes‚” Symes told Universe Today. “The sky around the Sun was not black but a deep‚ steely blue. The horizon was lighter–similar to what you’d see during a sunset or sunrise–but still very alien.” “The eclipsed Sun looked‚ to me‚ like an incredibly advanced computer animation from the future&;#33; The Sun and corona were very crisp‚ and the Sun looked much larger in the sky than I’d expected. The eclipsed Sun had almost a three-dimensional quality… almost as if it were a dark‚ round button-like disk surrounded by a bright halo affixed to a deep blue/grey background. It was as if a ‘worm hole’ or black hole had somehow appeared in front of us. I’m sure my jaw dropped as it was truly a moment of utter amazement. I’m smiling as I type it now… and still awestruck as I recall it in my mind&;#33;” An amazing eclipse. Credit: Andrew Symes. Success for the Total Solar Eclipse in Aroostook County Maine We were met with success (and clear skies) watching the total solar eclipse with family from our hometown of Mapleton‚ Maine. We were mostly just visually watching this one‚ though we did manage to nab a brief video of the experience. What I was unprepared for was the switch from partial phases to totality. It was abrupt as expected‚ but there almost seemed to be brief but perceptible pause from day to twilight‚ as the corona seemed to ‘switch on.’ We all agreed later on that the steely blue sky was not quite night… but not quite twilight‚ either.

Credit: Chris Becke When’s the next one&;#63; I often wonder how many watchers during a given eclipse were ‘bitten by the bug‚’ and looking to chase the next one. Spain is set to see an eclipse a year for the next three years‚ starting in 2026: Spain is set to become ‘solar eclipse central’ in the coming years‚ with the next total solar eclipse crossing N. Spain on August 12‚ 2026‚ another total solar eclipse on August 2‚ 2027 crossing the Strait of Gibraltar‚ and a sunset annular solar eclipse on January 26‚ 2028. pic.twitter.com/acO4urNG45 — Dave Dickinson (@Astroguyz) April 12‚ 2024 Spain in August… be sure to stay cool and bring sunblock. Don’t miss the next total solar eclipse‚ and be thankful for our privileged vantage point in time and space.
