The beloved kitchen appliance brand launches four powerhouse tools designed to bring flexibility, performance, and portability to everyday cooking

NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dash, the kitchen appliance brand that has made homemade cooking accessible and joyful for millions, is cutting the cord and changing the game with its first-ever Cordless Collection: four powerful, battery-powered tools designed to free you from outlet-dependent cooking. Whether you’re blending by the pool, chopping at the counter, or mixing anywhere inspiration strikes, these appliances deliver professional-grade performance with the freedom to move.

Explore the all-new lineup:

Cordless Mini Chopper (SMP $79.99): Prep faster, clean faster. The Dash Cordless Mini Chopper delivers sharp, efficient performance without the bulk of a traditional food processor. The ultra-sharp stainless steel blade slices through ingredients with precision, while the included Whisking Plate handles delicate work, like guacamole, with a softer touch.Cordless Immersion Blender (SMP $79.99): Blend anything anywhere with the Dash Cordless Immersion Blender, bringing professional blending performance wherever you need it. The ergonomic handle and one-handed operation work seamlessly in pots, pitchers, or bowls. The included Blending Cup & Lid lets you blend and store in one vessel. Soups, smoothies, sauces, whipped cream and more are just a blend away.Cordless Hand Mixer (SMP $79.99): All the power, none of the cord. The Dash Cordless Hand Mixer delivers up to 37 minutes of continuous mixing on a single charge – enough for fluffy whipped cream, thick pancake batter, and everything in between. The Turbo Button gives you an extra burst of speed when you need it, while the lightweight design makes it easy to maneuver around bowls and countertops.Cordless Personal Blender (SMP $79.99): Think smoothies anywhere, any time. The Dash Cordless Personal Blender whips up 17 ounces of smoothies, shakes, and frozen drinks in seconds – from your kitchen to the patio to the gym. Its ultra-sharp stainless-steel blades tackle soft fruits and ice alike, while the included Travel Cup & Lid lets you blend and sip on the go.

Every appliance in the Cordless Collection is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery — included with each purchase — that’s compatible across all four tools, so you can swap batteries between devices and keep your cordless momentum going.

You can also purchase all four powerhouse tools and charger through the Cordless Collection Bundle, available at a special bundle price of $299.99 (SMP). Additional chargers are available separately for customers who want to keep a backup on hand.

“The Cordless Collection represents what we’re hearing from our customers: they want kitchen tools that work as hard as they do and fit seamlessly into their lives,” said Evan Dash, CEO of StoreBound. “That’s exactly why we cut the cord. So, a student can blend a smoothie in their dorm before class, a tailgate crew can whip up frozen drinks in the parking lot, and friends can stay out on the patio while preparing dinner on the grill and making drinks. Freedom like that really changes how you cook.”

The Cordless Collection is available now at ByDash.com and Amazon. To explore the full Dash lineup, discover cordless recipe inspiration, and shop the collection, follow @byDash on Instagram and TikTok.

Plasma Donated to Giraffe Born by C-Section Took Six Years of Donations to Collect

Published

August 6, 2026

SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Two thirteen-year old giraffes at Dickerson Park Zoo in Springfield, Missouri, have no idea their weekly blood draws have helped save the life of a giraffe born via C-section at Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard, Kansas.

Dickerson Park Zoo is a member of the Giraffe Plasma Bank System and one of a few zoos in the country that consistently banks plasma. Mili and Grady, two members of the herd at Dickerson Park Zoo, are trained for voluntary blood draws, which allow for research in different studies, medical tests and banked to be used by other facilities if needed.

On July 11, 2026, zookeeper Matt Corrie at DPZ got a text message from a colleague at the International Center for Care and Conservation of Giraffe at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.

A giraffe delivered by C-section at Tanganyika Wildlife Park needed plasma, and needed it as soon as possible.

“I was on the road within an hour of the original text,” said Corrie. “TWP is the first facility to need our plasma, and the dose used for their baby took six years of plasma draws to collect.”

In 2018, a fundraiser called Chilling at the Zoo raised over $10,000 for the DPZ animal hospital to purchase an ultra-low freezer to preserve biological material. Eight years and hundreds of blood draws later, Dickerson Park Zoo was ready to answer the call. The collaboration between Tanganyika Wildlife Park, the International Center for Care and Conservation of Giraffes, Dickerson Park Zoo, and some of the top giraffe veterinarians in the country is a testimony to the relevancy of zoos and the animal care professionals working to save species.

Dickerson Park Zoo is accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA). Look for the AZA logo whenever you visit a zoo or aquarium as your assurance that you are supporting a facility dedicated to providing excellent care for animals, a great experience for you and a better future for all living things. With its more than 200 accredited members, AZA is a leader in global wildlife conservation and your link to helping animals in their native habitats. For more information, visit www.aza.org.

TruTrade’s chartless AI-driven trading technology offers an alternative approach for traders seeking automation, flexibility, and a simplified trading experience.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TruTrade, a software company specializing in AI-driven trading technology, is highlighting the growing interest in chartless trading as more traders explore new ways to interact with today’s financial markets. As artificial intelligence continues to shape trading technology, chartless AI-driven software is emerging as an alternative for traders who prefer a simplified trading experience while maintaining control over their trading preferences and risk settings.

Unlike traditional trading platforms that rely on continuous chart analysis, chartless trading is designed to automate trade execution based on user-defined configurations and AI-driven technology. Rather than requiring traders to monitor charts throughout the trading session, chartless software allows users to establish their preferred settings while remaining in control of when trading begins, pauses, or stops.

The TruTrade Ecosystem includes RipperONE AI, TruTrade’s chartless AI-driven trading solution, as well as TruTrade’s Interactive AI Chart-Based Suite for traders who prefer a more hands-on experience. Together, these solutions provide traders with the flexibility to choose between a chartless trading environment and an interactive chart-based experience, depending on their individual trading style and preferences.

QuickFund AI is an integrated part of the TruTrade Ecosystem, helping traders obtain funded proprietary trading accounts through compatible third-party proprietary trading firms. By streamlining the funding process, QuickFund AI provides eligible traders with an additional pathway to access funded trading capital while complementing TruTrade’s software solutions. QuickFund AI operates independently of any proprietary trading firm, and funding decisions remain solely with the selected proprietary trading firm.

As AI-driven trading technology continues to evolve, TruTrade remains focused on developing software that supports a variety of trading styles and account types. Through the TruTrade Ecosystem, the company continues to provide traders with flexible technology solutions designed to accommodate both chartless and interactive trading experiences.
