You remember Amazon’s Dash Buttons, right? They were so cool, but you’ve probably never even heard of their successor. It’s called the Amazon Dash Smart Shelf, and I’m obsessed.

Dash Buttons were such a cool concept. Mount a button anywhere in your house near something you use often. Then a quick tap would reorder specific products from Amazon with no other effort needed at all.

So, for example, you could put a Tide button next to your washing machine for laundry detergent. Then, when you started to run low on Tide, one quick tap of the button would send new supplies heading your way.

Unfortunately, Amazon’s concept for Dash Buttons was apparently ahead of its time. It apparently didn’t get enough traction because the company decided to discontinue Dash Buttons last year.

Now, however, a new Dash device quietly became available on Amazon’s site late last year. And it’s even more impressive than Dash buttons ever were.

It’s called the Dash Smart Shelf and you’re going to be just as obsessed as I am. It’s so cool.

Amazon’s coolest new smart home device

The new Dash Smart Shelf is similar in concept to Amazon’s old Dash buttons, but it takes things to a whole new level because everything is now fully automated.

Pushing a button might not seem all that labor-intensive, of course. But wouldn’t it be even cooler if you didn’t have to push a button or lift a finger at all?

That’s what the Dash Smart Shelf is. It has a built-in scale that constantly monitors the weight of whatever product you put on top of it.

Then, when the scale detects that your remaining supply falls below a certain threshold, the Dash Shelf automatically reorders whichever product you’re storing on top of it!

Story continues

If you’re wondering what type of products you can put on the Dash shelf, look no further because we’ve got answers for you.

You can keep paper cups, Pop-Tarts, dog food, office supplies, boxes of tissues, plastic cups, plus hundreds of other things on top of the Dash Shelf. Then, this brilliant device takes all the thought and effort out of reorders.

There’s also one more thing you’re going to love about this nifty new Amazon gadget. Amazon’s Dash Shelf comes in three different sizes to suit so many different types of products… yet each size costs the same low price of just $19.99.
