It also makes sure you don't question your consumption habits, shop around for better deals or look at the competition.

I don't know, looks amazing to me. Yea the branded button isn't great, but let's face it, it's going to be sitting next to the branded box/bottle anyway. If your toddler presses it, the worst they can do is order once. It's configured to only allow one order until the item is delivered. That isn't to say your toddler still cannot do damage...
If I have to approve orders on my phone as the video suggests, I may as well create the order then and there. Something about that video (and much of my opinion is based on the video and look of the product) makes me uneasy. It's suggesting my life is a series of purchases and top-ups, and I will be happier when I can click my branded button. Like a junkie or something. When the woman runs out of coffee it looks like…
This seems like a great product for the post-college individual, living away on their own for the first time (i.e. me). Heck, I know already that I'm low on detergent, yet I keep forgetting to go to the store to pick up more. Obviously that's my fault, but being able to LITERALLY press a button and have what I need appear at my doorstep is pretty sweet.
Though, I'm still not totally convinced that this isn't an April Fool's joke that's a day early...
* Paper towels
* Toilet Paper
* Shaving Cream
* Razor Blades
* Body Wash
* Shampoo/Conditioner
* Tissues
* Deodorant
* Some K-cups
* Dryer Sheets
* Dish Washing soap
* Laundry Detergent
* Dishwasher powder-stuff
And I'm sure there are a few more I'm forgetting. It's awesome to never have to worry about these things and have them just show up. If I start piling up with too many of certain item I just go online and adjust how often they send it to me. I highly recommend it!

which is why a button makes so much sense, auto ordering is bad, this seems much better
Sure, I would love to press a button that will order things for me without seeing the price I'm going to pay ... oh wait, no, Amazon would love that, I wouldn't. This is for people who don't care what things cost and that don't have children (children loooove pressing buttons!).
The video reads like some kind of dystopian consumer hell. Everything comes in a packet from a trusted brand who is taking care of you. Consume! Consume! Consume! See you useless you are when you can't consume! Your whole day is ruined. Good job we've got your back. We'll send you some more of those precious packets.
My thoughts exactly. This video did not make me want the dash button. It made me want to re-think my existence.
But, if you want an identity that isn't based on consumerism, it seems we should devote less attention to your purchases rather than more.
Honestly, I don't care about toilet paper. If I can hit a button and move on with the rest of my life, that seems better than spending time shopping for it.
This makes me envious of you Americans. Here in Norway online shopping involves finding an online store that sells what you need (there's no site that sells everything, like Amazon, here), going through a cumbersome sign-up/payment process, paying a lot of money for the shipping costs, waiting several days and having to go to the post office unless the package is really small (or if you're willing to pay even more fo…
It's not just a physical button — it's an API. If you develop a hardware product you can apparently integrate with Dash to order supplies from the embedded controller. Information is here: https://www.amazon.com/oc/dash-replenishment-service Apparently, Whirlpool washing machines and Brita water filters will be using it. This doesn't help for basics like paper towels, but it would work for paper towel holders (if it'…
Great, so now when I buy a Whirlpool washing machine it'll be hardcoded to use products with its reorder button. Gross, gross, gross.
