The Amazon Dash Wand has been redesigned to make ordering groceries online even easier. The wand is essentially a barcode scanner that adds things to your Amazon order queue. Alternatively you can speak into the Dash Wand and whatever you say will be added to your online shopping list. In addition the Amazon Dash Wand can pair with Alexa. In a demo video the Wand is shown offering up recipe ideas when asked.
The Amazon Dash Wand looks almost like any other item you'd find in a kitchen and has a magnetic back so that it can be stuck to the fridge. Perhaps the greatest feature of the device is that it's essentially a mobile version of Alexa that you can take anywhere around the house.
