Easy to connect
You can find smart plugs a lot cheaper, but you give up the ease of connection if you do not use Amazon plugs. You have zero issues setting them up. In just a matter of moments you are connected to Alexa. I threw away some other plugs that I had to reconnect after electric and internet went out. Amazon smart plugs are indeed smart. They are worth the extra dollars and always work as they should.

Very easy to setup anf great value
So there are two smart plugs. One flagship Amazon smart plug and these Amazon Basics smart plug. I suspect as others have noted about the phenomenon that there must be some competition to market with Amazon products as we see more and more Amazon Basics stuff these days and most of us are very pleased with Amazon Basics enough so that the price for the flag ship product makes these look enticing because of quantity, value and price. While us petty consumers will really never know how to truly tell if the IOT smart plug phase will pan out for us that chose to spend money on the cheaper Amazon Basic plug vs the Amazon flagship product.We are all taking a risk on trying to determine which will last long term and which will remain in our households and be compatible with all the rest of our IOT smart devices but for me I chose this plug and it just works right out of the box with the rest of my Amazon home automation like echo dots and other alexa devices. I even had a chance to pre provision the device before it got to my house! That is cool and a really awesome idea especially those that would order in bulk and don’t want to configure hundreds+ of these one at a time. Good on ya for thinking ahead. I choose to spend my money on these as they fit the bill and when off consume only about .5W at 110V AC.These are used in my office, and anywhere where big draws of power are occurring in my house so that I can set them up on a schedule (supported by alexa out of the gate) and turn the plugs on and off during peak, mid peak and off peak hours as needed to save extra money. I even use these on my solar batteries when I may be away from home.

Works well
After purchasing an Echo Dot, Amazon posted a deal on the Amazon smart plug ($24.99) for a $1.99. I purchased it as I recognized the price was very good. I decided I wanted another smart plug but unwilling to wait for a bargain, although I see it is on sale for $12.99. I purchased a two pack of the Amazon basics smart plug for $15.99. The basics smart plug is specific to Alexa only and the smart plug can be used with other platforms. The setup for both plugs was extremely easy. (They synced up in less than two minutes). If you have Alexa devices, the basics plug works the same as the higher dollar plug. I am now waiting for Prime Days to see if the basics plug drops in price.

Great Cheaper Alternative! Easy to Use! *UPDATE AFTER SOME TIME*
This plug works great! I set it up with my Christmas tree for the holidays. It was easy to set up and change the name of in the Amazon Alexa app. All I have to say is, “Alexa, turn the tree on/off” and poof… there it goes!I have one of the non-amazon basics smart plugs in my bedroom to control the lights. That plug is about $15 more expensive than this one, yet it works the same. I would 100% recommend! These plugs are life changers!My only note would be that my shipping on this specific item was pushed back multiple times and took a few weeks to get, but if you don’t mind waiting, then I’d say go for it!UPDATE**I have been using this plug for about 2 weeks or so and it has not been working correctly. I will say my usual “Alexa, turn the tree off” and it’ll have a light spinning on the alexa device for a few seconds before saying that the tree was unresponsive. I then have to unplug the smart plug and plug it back in to reset it. Pretty frustrating since it started off great.

Seems to work flawlessly with Alexa
These were very easy to set up. There’s no third-party app software to have to deal with. Plug it in the wall, go on the Alexa app and set it up.

Excellent product
These come in so handy when I set my alexa app to them for the different lights we have in different rooms of our apartment.

Smart Plug
I rarely rate anything above a 4…. Having heard about these for a while, I decided to give them a try. I ordered 2 packs for a total of eight Smart Plugs. The setup for fairly easy using the Alexa app on my phone. You can name each device which makes remembering which plug you are speaking to via your Alexa devices. Both my wife and I really like being able to walk through the house and simply asking Alexa to turn on this light etc. It’s a guy LOL :-)A cool option with these plugs is that you can control them remotely using your phone. This saves having to set light timers when you are not home or away on vacation. You can also setup routines with these plugs. All in all, very much worth the purchase. Again, I rarely will rate anything at a 5, but these truly are a viable asset to your home or apartment.
