Apparently it's not an April Fools either!

I think it's a good idea for people who have certain things that they use all the time. Problem is legalities - what if your kid presses it?

Apparently you can cancel via your phone ... I'm still not convinced, who spends a considerable amount of money on a fancy coffee machine then drinks Maxwell House !!!
 

This can't be real. I'm not going to believe it anyway.

I mean you could have a repeat order on Amazon set up so you two click and order them that way. Thats a good idea, not a button!

unless it was a network where you press it and then go back to the account and press order, that would work. but would you be arsed?

Also who buys all that stuff from amazon anyway?
 
Well, it was published yesterday, so could well be real. Doesn't seem a bad idea, but could get a bit out of hand like.

No different to if your kid orders something on your Amazon account. It isn't the responsibility of Amazon to make sure a kid doesn't press the button.

Locked behind a password before order on one, and even if you save the password you can lock the actual device with security, versus a button lying around in the kitchen. One seems a lot more open to accidental orders than the other to me.

That has nothing to do with 'legalities'.

It is if you get a disputed delivery - "I didn't order it, my kid pressed the button." Just not sure how a push of a button can be classed as acceptance of a contract unless it's reasonable that only an authorised person can press the button.

All that said, Amazon refunds easily anyway, but it's still a point to consider. All in all a great idea though for certain people.
