Amazon Dash Button
https://www.amazon.com/oc/dash-butto..._s_amzn_nm31vy
This seems kind of neat. Basically a small button that you setup with your phone and on your Wifi to automatically reorder common household things at a press of a button. Dash Button comes with a reusable adhesive and a hook so you can hang, stick, or place it right where you need it. Keep Dash Button handy in the kitchen, bath, laundry, or anywhere you store your favorite products. When you're running low, simply press Dash Button, and Amazon quickly delivers household favorites so you can skip the last-minute trip to the store. Dash Button is simple to set up. Use the Amazon app on your smartphone to easily connect to your home Wi-Fi network and select the product you want to reorder with Dash Button. Once connected, a single press automatically places your order. Amazon sends an order alert to your phone, so it's easy to cancel if you change your mind. Unless you elect otherwise, Dash Button responds only to your first press until your order is delivered. |

Down to the last roll of TP? Hit a button, you get a new 12-pack in two days? Freakin' ingenious :up:

Alexa is already obsolete because she's too much trouble, and is probably only in one room. :lol:
But then this thing is free too. I requested an invite even though I may never use it. :shrug: |

My one year old would have a field day once he figured out what the button can do.

Re: Amazon Dash Button
I assumed they had their April Fool's item up early

Re: Amazon Dash Button
Sounds great - we are always running out of basic things like Clorox wipes.
Also, does not appear to be an April Fool's joke. |
Re: Amazon Dash Button
I keep trying to give Amazon the benefit of the doubt here but it's just not working. If I'm a Prime customer, and I run out of an item, why can't I just take the phone out of my pocket and 1 click order it? With DashButton you have to confirm the order on your phone anyway...

But I can see why they would give this away for free since I'm sure the companies are paying to have their buttons available so they can have a permanent ad in people's homes. Looks like if you get an invite, you select which particular buttons you want. |

Take your phone out, unlock the screen, boot up the app, search for the product you want in the correct size/quantity, one-click it. That's significantly more steps, and you may be doing laundry or changing a diaper at the time.
That sounds terrible but damnit I'll tough it out... |

One statement is simply ludicrous: When you're running low, simply press Dash Button, and Amazon quickly delivers household favorites so you can skip the last-minute trip to the store. Why not just make these products available as Subscribe-and-Save (if not already). After all, you should have a good idea about how frequently you purchase such supplies. With Subscribe-and-Save I only have to worry if I have *too much* in stock and it's very easy to skip a shipment if necessary, plus there's a discount attached. Oh yeah... let's not forget about those times Amazon will not have the product in stock. This happens *every* month with random Subscribe-and-Save items. I just checked a few of the items with *this* offer and quite a few of those are OOS from Amazon. I've had Subscribe-and-Save items delayed by 2 weeks due to OOS status on items. I wish them luck, but I'll not be participating. **EDIT** I just read some of the "fine print" on this offer. Offer limited to three Dash Buttons per customer and account while supplies last. After choosing the product you would like to order through Dash Button, some of the offer details may change as you reorder the product over time (for example, price, taxes, availability, shipping charges, and the seller). If your product is unavailable when you order it, you authorize us to fulfill your Order with a similar substitute product that we believe will meet your expectations. You can see the details for each Order in Your Orders. After placing an Order, you have a window of time to confirm details and make any changes to that Order |
Re: Amazon Dash Button
^ That's a good point. I'm not ordering stuff if I can't check the price first...

Re: Amazon Dash Button
i know i am putting butt plugs as one of my dash items.

Re: Amazon Dash Button
If Amazon ever gets Amazon Prime Air off the ground (pun intended) then I could see this becoming somewhat viable given the stated 30 minutes or less delivery time. Otherwise, I can't see this actually working although I am intrigued by the idea for common household items that you might not need right away, but when you notice you're running low could just hit the button and order.

Re: Amazon Dash Button
Apparently these are going out; this guy took it apart to see what's in them.
