SharkNinja Wins Three Red Dot Awards
SharkNinja, an industry leader in household innovation, has been awarded three Red Dot Awards for Product Design, acknowledging the exceptional design of the Ninja Hot & Cold Brewed System, Shark ION W1 Cordless Handheld Vacuum and Ninja Smart Screen Blender DUO with FreshVac Technology.
The Red Dot Award, founded in 1955, is one of the largest and most respected product design competitions in the world. In 2019, more than 5,500 products were submitted for consideration, and each product was assessed individually by an expert jury. “Red Dot” has distinguished itself internationally as one of the most sought-after seals of quality for design.
The Ninja Hot & Cold Brewed System offers a vast array of quality coffee and tea-brewing options, from smooth, naturally sweet cold brew in as little as 10 minutes to frothy chai lattes and cappuccinos.
The Shark ION W1 Cordless Handheld Vacuum is as sleek as it is powerful; the cordless hand vacuum weighs in at only 1.4 pounds and packs serious suction power to take on any mess with quick maneuverability and pure Shark performance.
The Ninja Smart Screen Blender DUO with FreshVac Technology is constructed with one smart base and two high-performing vessels that work together to deliver high-powered blending. FreshVac Technology locks in vitamins, reduces separation, brings out rich flavors, and keeps drinks fresh overnight.
All three award-winning SharkNinja products were introduced in September 2018.

Fressko Offers Three Eco-Friendly Flasks
Fressko, the Australian company that is pioneering sustainable flasks, offers three distinct product lines: Café Collection, Colour Collection, and the Original Series.
All Fressko flasks help the environment by being an alternative to plastic bottles and paper cups.
Plastics play a major role in destroying the ecosystem. Every year 38 billion plastic water bottles are dumped in American landfills, and plastic waste kills 1.1 million marine creatures annually.
In contrast, all Fressko flasks, as well as the new reusable coffee cup, are made from high quality, sustainable materials such as glass, bamboo and stainless steel. They are leak-proof, 100 percent BPA-free and versatile – meaning one flask can be used for all different beverage types, including steeping tea.
Fressko’s product line includes:
The Original Series, which was introduced to the American consumer in 2016, includes bamboo and double-walled glass infuser flasks in a variety of sizes and with the Fressko 2-in-1 Infuser.
The Café Collection, which features the Camino, a reusable coffee cup with an ergonomic spout design and internal barista measurements, is also scratch resistant, vacuum-sealed, spill-proof and sleek.
The Colour Collection, infuser flasks that are available in a variety of colors (lagoon, floss, coal, denim, snow, and clay), that will keep your brew hot for six hours and your cold drinks cold for twice that time.
