"When you see supplies running low, the Dash Button makes it easier than ever to order more."

This technology is exclusively available to Prime members for £4.99, and the service is free after the first press with customers getting £4.99 back on their first order, Amazon said in a statement.

Upon placing the order, customers will receive a mobile notification confirming the item with a delivery date and price.

Amazon Dash director Daniel Rausch said: "Dash Buttons offer the convenience of 1-Click shopping from anywhere in the home. They can be placed near those frequently used items you don't want to run out of, and when you see supplies running low, the Dash Button makes it easier than ever to order more. Just press the button and your item is on its way."
