What is Dash Wand?

Dash Wand is a wirelessly connected barcode scanner and voice command device launched by Amazon in April 2014. Dash Wand has built-in intelligent voice assistant Alexa, which allows users to interact with it through voice, making shopping more convenient.

What are the features of Dash Wand?

1. Dash Wand is actually free.

The Dash Wand costs $20 and is only available to Amazon Prime members; however, Prime members will receive a $20 account subsidy after purchasing it, so it is equivalent to free. At the same time, in order to promote its fresh food delivery service Amazon Fresh, all those who purchase the new Dash Wand can also get 90 days of free Fresh delivery service.

2. Dash Wand is powered by two AAA batteries.

The Dash Wand is not rechargeable, and two AAA batteries are provided in the box. It is not clear how long these two batteries will last, but you certainly can't expect them to last indefinitely, of course you can also replace them with rechargeable batteries.

3. Dash Wand can control smart home devices.

Dash Wand can help you convert units, tell jokes, and more importantly, control Alexa-compatible smart home devices. You can use it to turn on lights, lock doors, set temperatures, and more. It's very simple to operate, just press the button and say "turn on the courtesy lights" or "heat the oven to 400 degrees." However, Dash Wand's Alexa voice assistant cannot play music, set timers or reminders, and cannot connect to calendars.

4. Dash Wand can scan any product.

While the Dash Wand is listed as a grocery assistant, it actually has a lot more applications in life than that. If you use the Dash Wand to scan the barcode on the back of the deodorant, the item will be added to your Amazon shopping cart. The Dash Wand can add anything you scan, as long as the product is available on Amazon. If not, it will add a placeholder to the cart so you can choose a similar product. If scanning the barcode doesn't work, you can also use your voice to add items to your cart. It's as simple as saying, "Alexa, add carpet cleaner to my cart."
