So I’m kind of new to the amazon device family. We just got our echo a few months ago. I’ve been a prime member for over 10 years so I’m familiar with how amazon has changed life as we knew it (for me anyway). I saw the amazon smart plug when I was searching for any brand smart plug that had Alexa control with it. It’s been in my cart saved for later for at least a month! I finally decided to just pre order it so that I could review it and hopefully help other people that are like me and have fallen way behind in the tech field. For reference I’m an almost 34 year old mom of 2. This means that my 8 year old stole my iPad, iMac, and I haven’t had a computer of my own in about 4 years! So I do everything from my iPhone. I’ve had some weird issues with our echo and my Alexa app that it will just randomly pause a song so I’m not sure what that is about. ANYWAY! I received my new amazon smart plug the day it was released (so glad it’s not like a new iPhone or PlayStation where people camp out ahead of time or do people still do this??). It was easier than I expected but harder than was described in the listing because my Alexa didn’t just recognize it. Setup: Since my Alexa didn’t recognize it on its own, I had to unplug the smart plug and quickly scan the code on the back of the plug, then plug it back in fast so that when it scanned for it it would see it plugged in. After that it was very simple. I was able to plug in my baby monitor and then tell Alexa to “turn off plug one” and it turned off! It is so cool! Future: I think homes will end up being built with these right into the electrical system. Maybe they already are. Comparing: With so many different brands offering smart plugs with Alexa integration I can’t see myself buying any more than 1 for $25. Too many are 2 for $20. While it’s nice to have the amazon support backing this up, I just can’t afford to fill my home with them at such a high cost comparative to other brands that do the same exact thing. Overall: If you can afford to fill your plugs with these then do! This smart plug is easy and awesome! But if you’re on a tight budget like I am, I would try a different brand first and see if those will work just as well. Every time I purchase something online, I always check the reviews. I count on others to help me choose the best option. My reviews are always my honest opinion and I try to include photos if possible.

I recently purchased the Amazon Smart Plug and it works exactly as intended. Setting it up was incredibly easy, and it seamlessly integrates with Alexa. I primarily use it for my lamp, and it's fantastic to be able to control the lighting with simple voice commands. The convenience of turning my lamp on and off without having to get up adds a significant level of comfort to my daily routine. This smart plug is especially useful for making my home appear occupied when I'm away. I highly recommend this smart plug to anyone looking to enhance their home automation—it does exactly what it promises!

Super easy to hook up! Fast , easy , works great ! Highly recommend!!! Bought 4 ! Best purchase!

I am amazed how well this switches work!!! I bought more of this switches because I had been using them for the last 6 months, and they are the only ones that have not lost connectivity and work every time I ask alexa to turn off my lights. I have two fire tv tablets that I use to control all my lights in my house with these amazon switches, and they work flawlessly!!! I have had cheaper ones in the past, but they lose connection with my tablets all the time. This switches are good quality for the money. If you have alexa devices that you can use your voice with to control your lights, this is the only switch that worked for my fire tablets. They are worth it!!!

This smart plug works great, MANUALLY. You can tell Alexa to turn on and off (or push the Icon in the app). BUT.......If you tell Alexa to turn the plug on and then turn the plug off in 4 hours (or at 10 PM or whatever) It FAILS to turn the plug off 100% of the time. You must check the status of the plug and turn off manually. Otherwise, it just stays on Very disappointing but that appears to be an App issue rather than the plug.

This smart plug makes life so much easier! I use it to turn lamps and our Christmas tree on and off automatically with Alexa, and it works flawlessly. Setup was super simple, and I love being able to control everything with just my voice or the app. A great addition to any smart home!

I have only been using this for less than a week but it's already been a lifesaver. I am a massage therapist and I have a hot towel cabi in my office. I am always paranoid that I left it on even though I double & triple check before I leave, and have even drove back to my office a few times to make sure. I decided I needed one of these at least for the peace of mind and I am so glad I did. It was super easy to set up, took a few minutes if that. I don't really use alexa but I have the echo glow in my office so I was already familiar with the app. Now I can turn on both devices with one click or voice command. It's makes thing really simple & convenient. Of course there is also the bonus of being able to turn the warmer on in advance so the warmer on & ready when I get to the office. This is extremely convenient for me, especially if I am running late, and another reason why I wanted one of these. I hope I don't have the issues I've read in some of the other comments but so far it's been working seamlessly.

The Amazon Smart Plug is a total game-changer for making my home smarter. It was incredibly easy to set up literally took minutes, and it seamlessly integrates with Alexa for voice control. I can now control my lights, appliances, and electronics with just a command or through the Alexa app, which is super convenient. The plug is compact, doesn’t block any other outlets, and is surprisingly reliable. Whether it’s turning on a lamp as I walk in the door or setting a timer for my coffee maker, the possibilities are endless. If you’re looking to make your home more connected and efficient, this smart plug is a must-have! Highly recommend! Plug is larger than i anticipated so keep that in mind when choosing your location.
