How to use

One is to directly tell it the product you want to order;

The second is to directly use the Dash Wand to scan the barcode of the product you want to buy.

However, since the service can only be completed in a Wi-Fi environment, its best application scenario is home, and it is not suitable to take it with you to the mall with a shopping basket (unless you can take the trouble to connect to the mall Wi-Fi).


cost

The Dash Button is priced at US$20 (approximately RMB 136). After purchasing it, users will receive a US$20 reward and 90 days of free fresh food delivery service.


history

The Amazon Dash Wand was released in April 2014, a Wi-Fi connected device that allows users to build shopping lists by scanning barcodes and speaking product names aloud, connecting directly with AmazonFresh.

The second-generation Amazon Dash barcode scanner was released in October 2016, which replaced the two buttons on the previous model with a single button for scanning barcodes and activating the microphone. The new model is also shorter than an inch and is magnetic so it can stick to metal surfaces, such as refrigerators.

In June 2017, Dash Wand officially launched a new Dash product, including a barcode scanner and built-in Alexa voice assistant, allowing users to get recipes and orders from the Amazon Prime Now website.

Amazon recently sent an email to users stating that it will stop supporting its Dash Wand shopping device from July 21, 2020.
