Smart Plug | Works with Alexa | Simple setup, endless possibilities

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 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!!!

Love my Smart Plugs that I have purchased through Amazon, all work well and easy to get set up on your phone. Design of plug is good and so is the quality, have never had any problems. I would recommend, I have a handful of these smart plugs in my home.

Simple to set up. Quickly connected to Alexa & Alexa app. Love that I can turn on a lamp from my phone if I’m not home.
