I’m not such a fan of going to the grocery store. It’s a pain in the butt and my kids always want to buy stuff I know they won’t eat. I also always forget to buy something important because I get distracted by all the samples. This is one of the reasons that the AmazonFresh grocery delivery service is so interesting to me.
The service is only offered in parts of California and Washington right now and allows those in the region to order their groceries online. That means you never have to step into a grocery store again or wait in line. To complement the service, a new gadget has been announced called the Amazon Dash. This device is aiming at making what has to be the worst part of the AmazonFresh service, making your list, easier.
Dash is a handheld gadget that scans barcodes on the items you want and uploads them via WiFi to your shopping list. It also has a mic and voice recording function for those items that don’t have bar codes.
The Dash is apparently free for anyone in the AmazonFresh delivery area.

For those who don’t know, AmazonFresh is a service that’s only being offered in certain parts of Seattle and California. It makes grocery shopping very easy, users really don’t even have to leave their couch to get fresh groceries. Same-day delivery is offered for items ordered by 10 a.m., orders placed after that are delivered the following morning. Customers can order things like fresh produce, fish, dairy products as well as toys and electronics. The company has launched a new accessory called Amazon Dash for AmazonFresh members which makes grocery shopping even easier.
It is only being provided to select AmazonFresh customers on a trial basis, so Dash isn’t quite in the mainstream just yet. Even AmazonFresh is limited to a few cities on the West Coast, so it may take a while for this service to be rolled out in other major parts of the country.
Amazon Dash is roughly the size of a conventional flashlight. There’s a barcode scanner built-in which can scan the codes off the back of household products. Users can also press the microphone button to speak into Dash, effectively creating a list of products they need. All products scanned or spoken of are then compiled in an Amazon shopping list. Lists are updated in real-time as Dash connects to Wi-Fi. Users can then view the entire list, makes changes if they want and schedule delivery.
AmazonFresh membership costs $299, though customers in supported cities get a 30-day free trial at first. The membership also gets them Amazon Prime’s two-day free shipping benefits.
