(checked 2026-10-10)Two-pack listing (9,113 ratings).
Tom's Guide's budget pick: under $10 a plug in a two-pack, easy to set up, with vacation mode and location triggers, and it works with Alexa, Google and other Wyze gear. There's no Apple Home support, and Amazon owners report plugs that keep going offline.
Top complaints
- Goes offline for some owners
Amazon's review summary says connectivity and reliability are mixed, with some owners reporting frequent disconnections and several noting the plugs go offline every two weeks.
- No HomeKit
Tom's Guide says it works only with Alexa and Google Assistant (plus IFTTT), so HomeKit users should look elsewhere.
Source: Tom's Guide - Mixed build quality and value
Amazon's summary says plug quality and value draw mixed reactions. CNET notes it's sold as a two-pack, so there are cheaper options if you need only one.
What owners love
- Very cheap per plug
Tom's Guide says a two-pack can cost as little as $15. CNET likes it mainly for its low price.

What experts say
- Tom's Guide: Best budget (updated 2025-12-12): one of the least expensive but still very good plugs it tested. Its con is no HomeKit.
- CNET: Also tested: it does all the basic functions at a bargain price ($29 for a two-pack), but there are cheaper options if you need only one.
