I'd worry about an appliance too quickly re-ordering. My printer refused to print because it thought the toner was all gone. A black marker to the sensor on the side of the toner and I'm back and printing. It's been almost a month now and still going strong.
- jader201 12y agoSimilarly, I can definitely see Brita ordering these prematurely, based on their (IMO) very aggressive refill recommendations.
- teddyuk 12y agowhich is why a button makes so much sense, auto ordering is bad, this seems much better
- maratd 12y agoSure, I would love to press a button that will order things for me without seeing the price I'm going to pay ... oh wait, no, Amazon would love that, I wouldn't. This is for people who don't care what things cost and that don't have children (children loooove pressing buttons!).
- oneeyedpigeon 12y agoI can't imagine there wouldn't be a way to limit the price you pay; it might even be illegal otherwise.
- travisp 12y agoMost likely you could cancel or return for a refund.
- exelius 12y agoThis product isn't really aimed at price-sensitive consumers, but I also don't see Amazon fucking over their customers with this. One thing I like about Amazon is that they don't play pricing games: they show you the best price in the search results, period.
- ajanuary 12y agoWhen you push the button you get a push notification to your phone, which will show you the price and give you the option to cancel it, which at least gives you some way to back out if the price is hiked up.
- cdmcmahon 12y ago1. It sends an alert to your phone with the price and easy cancellation. (I was actually surprised at this feature, because I cynically agreed that Amazon would use this to constantly be trying to pull one over on customers.) 2. I also believe it said that repeat clicks will not order until the previous order delivers, which should help somewhat on repeat orders.
- jessaustin 12y agochildren loooove pressing buttons! Haha as I read TFA I envisioned the UPS guy unloading boxes and boxes of toilet paper at the homes of my young nieces and nephews.
- tonyedgecombe 12y agoIt does give the illusion of control.
- TheSoftwareGuy 12y agoI think they make it so you always get alert when something is ordered, so that you can cancel it.
