In an attempt to attract more household goods shoppers, retail giant Amazon has unveiled a device that can place orders to replenish items such as washing powder and razors.
The Dash Button can be attached to appliances around the home, and when pushed, processes a delivery request.
The service will only be available to users of Amazon's premium subscription service, Prime.
The tech giant has recently focused on speeding up its ordering processes.
Prime Now, which guarantees one-hour delivery on essential daily items, is available in four US cities, and the company has also been trialling deliveries by drone.
On Monday, the firm launched Amazon Home Services, which allows customers to order professional services such as a handyman or computer technician.
