Have any other Prime members received the invite to try this out? I got it today, and asked for more info.

I don't typically order the same items from Amazon often enough, that I think it would make sense for me. I'm already on auto delivery for my refrigerator and shower filters, so I get new ones shipped every 6 months.

As for some of the products that will be part of this..like coffee, laundry detergent, etc....I'm not sure the prices would be better than Costco or the markets, when these things are on sale. But it does sound very convenient, to just press the "button" when you need more of an item.

From their site:

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.

I'd be afraid I'd hit the button by accident or one of my cat's would get preoccupied with it. lol It doesn't seem to be that much of a cutting-edge idea.

We don't have Amazon Prime but I saw that on tv today.

I found it interesting BUT the products they were showing to order (for examples) I would never buy on Amazon (every day or every week items). We get detergent and things like that at BJs with coupons for good prices. The only things I buy on Amazon are Christmas gifts once a year and music cds and or vinyl.

My husband thinks the whole thing is stupid and lazy.

But I did say to my husband, it would be nice if I could hit a button when we run out of food/grocery items.lol. Because I hate grocery shopping, always have. My husband and I shop together because I cant lift, but I still don't like doing it. So that would be good for grocery stores. (I know other areas have grocery delivery but we don't have that here. Heck we don't even have take out delivery here in the country for pizza, sandwiches, Chinese food etc..lol).

I think its a good idea....if you are a large family and use up products rather rapidly...or you are elderly or handicapped in some way...where shopping is a struggle or impossible...

I order a lot from Amazon. I order all the time. But I saw this the other day and really don't think I'd use it. I don't need a button adhered to our washing machine to remind me to buy detergent. I never run out of stuff and have backups for everything. Never say never though.

What's inside the device?

i'd use it if a drone, will deliver it!

I think if you press it accidentally (or your cat does!), you have time to undo it. You have to have the Amazon app on your cell phone, and it sends a message to your phone about whatever you just ordered.

I'll have to see the list of products before I know if it's something I'll use. Probably not, but if I was a stay-at-home mom with young babies, it could be a nice convenience.

What's inside of it? Well, I haven't heard back from Amazon yet, but here is some more info that was posted online:

"The Seattle-based e-commerce giant introduced WiFi-enabled buttons for consumers to place around the house, letting them—by physically pressing the button—instantly re-order products like toilet paper and coffee through Amazon Prime. The small, plastic buttons are wired to the Amazon Prime smartphone app, which allows users to control purchasing restrictions such as quantity while stocking up on Tide, Huggies, Kraft (see image above), Glad and other packaged goods."
