Amazon’s latest Dash Cart is rolling into more Whole Foods Market stores with a lighter frame, bigger basket, and new payment and savings features designed to speed up the weekly grocery run.
The smart cart upgrade is central to Amazon’s push to blend its online tech with the in‑store experience at Whole Foods Market in the United States . What’s new in the redesigned Dash Cart The newest Dash Cart is 25% lighter and offers 40% more capacity than the previous generation, making it easier to maneuver while
holding a full grocery shop.
The cart now includes extra shelving, with space for up to four grocery bags plus a dedicated shelf for delicate items and a lower rack for bulk purchases. A built‑in scale near the handle works with cameras, weight sensors, and machine‑learning models to price loose produce directly in the cart, so shoppers no longer need to weigh items at a separate station.
The cart’s hardware is also weather‑resistant and designed to last through trips all the way out to the car, supported by an extended all‑day battery. Screen, navigation, and savings tools The Dash Cart features a touchscreen that shows a real‑time receipt and spending total, as well as a live tracker of how much a shopper is saving during the trip.
Shoppers can also pull in their Alexa shopping lists so items automatically appear on the cart screen and can be checked off as they shop. An interactive store map on the display helps customers find items by aisle and see where they are in the store at any moment…
