Amazon has debuted first batch of its Dash Replenishment devices that comprises of Brother printers, a GE washer, and the Gmate SMART blood glucose monitor. If you have a compatible Brother printer, you can start using the service now, but the GE washer and Gmate monitor will be ready by the end of the month.
Amazon Dash Replenishment Service (DRS) enables connected devices to order physical goods from Amazon when supplies are running low. The company introduced its “dash” button last year in April as part of an effort to boost its presence for everyday household items and groceries. Pressing a dedicated button will automatically order new supplies which are delivered to the door. The GE washing machine and over 45 Brother printers are officially the first appliances coming to market that can automatically place an order with Amazon when detergent or toner levels are low. New brands and devices have joined the Dash Replenishment program, including Purell soap and hand sanitizer and the Whirlpool Smart Dishwasher. Supporting devices from Samsung, Brita, Petnet and Sealed Air are also scheduled for launch in the coming weeks and months.
With Amazon Dash Replenishment, we want to make customers’ lives even easier so they won’t run out of items like laundry detergent, pet food or printer ink again—customers simply activate Dash Replenishment when they are setting up their connected device and then rely on Amazon to automatically deliver those everyday essentials. It’s exciting to make Dash Replenishment a reality—customers can start taking advantage of the service today and we will continue to launch and add new devices to the program this year.”
