July 2025: Your Go‑to Guides for Home Tech & Cleaning

Welcome to the July 2025 roundup at Bargain Hub. We dropped a bunch of practical posts that help you pick the right gadgets, keep your home fresh, and avoid pricey mistakes. Below you’ll find quick takeaways from each article, so you can decide what to read first.

Smart Home & Robot Vacuums

We kicked off the month with iRobot's First Rule Explained, breaking down the safety principle that keeps your robot from bumping into things. Think of it as the robot’s version of a common‑sense rule – it’s why newer vacuums pause before stairs and avoid pets.

If you own a Roomba, our piece Can You Move Your Roomba to Another Room? shows the best way to relocate it without confusing its map. Simply reset the virtual wall, let it scan a few minutes, and you’re good to go.

For those stuck between Bissell vs Shark, we compared suction power, brush design, and durability. Shark wins on deep‑carpet cleaning, while Bissell shines on pet hair. Pick the one that matches your floor type.

Home Cleaning & Air Quality

Air purifiers got a lot of attention. In Do Air Purifiers Really Work? we dug into lab results and found HEPA models cut airborne particles by up to 99 %. Pair that with our guide Best Places to Put an Air Purifier for Maximum Clean Air – the bedroom and living‑room corners near windows are prime spots.

Dust doesn’t have to be a constant battle. Our article How to Keep Your Home Dust‑Free suggests a weekly microfiber swipe, a vacuum with a HEPA filter, and sealing cracks around doors. These steps slash dust buildup without buying fancy gadgets.

We also answered the age‑old question about flooring under washers and dryers. The post Should You Install Flooring Under Your Washer and Dryer? recommends waterproof vinyl or tile to prevent water damage, and to leave a small gap for drainage.

When it comes to dishwashers, know the signs it’s time for a new one. In How Often Should You Replace a Dishwasher? we listed three red flags: persistent leaks, noisy pumps, and rust spots on the interior. Most units last 8‑12 years, so replace only when you see those symptoms.

Kitchen planning got a shout‑out too. Should You Buy Kitchen Appliances Before or After Cabinets? explains why ordering appliances first helps you confirm dimensions, avoiding the costly mistake of ordering a fridge that won’t fit.

Tech fans will love the RAM showdown – 32GB vs 16GB RAM breaks down real‑world needs. If you game or run heavy video editing, 32 GB gives headroom; for browsing and office work, 16 GB is plenty.

We even spilled the beans on McDonald’s coffee. In What Brand of Coffee Does McDonald’s Use? we reveal the supplier and blend notes, so you can taste the same at home.

Headphone lovers got a clear answer in On‑Ear vs Over‑Ear: Which Is Best for Noise Cancelling? Over‑ear models seal better, but on‑ear are lighter for travel. Choose based on comfort and where you’ll wear them most.

Finally, a peek into commercial kitchens: Why Restaurants Don't Use Air Fryers shows that high‑volume frying needs faster throughput and durability that home‑grade air fryers can’t match.

These posts together give you a solid foundation for smarter buying, cleaner spaces, and smoother home tech experiences. Bookmark the ones that match your current project, and come back anytime you need a quick refresher.
