VERY easy to set up, but slightly bulky
I have owned several different brands of smart plugs, and this one was BY FAR the easiest to to set up. I plugged it into an outlet and within a few seconds the Alexa app on my phone recognized it as a new device, prompted me to give it a name, and I was all set! Awesomeness all around. This may seem obvious, but it you are already an Alexa user, this may be the best smart plug to get simply because it integrates so easily with Alexa. It's really nice not to have to install another app on my phone for a different brand of smart plug and then link that app to Alexa -- eliminating that extra layer of complexity means one less thing that can go wrong. Like other smart plugs, there is a single button on the side which allows you to turn the plug on and off manually. I have just a few complaints: - First, the plug itself is very large, especially compared with other smart plugs on the market; it projects over 2" out from the wall and is over 3" wide. Surely Amazon can make these smaller? Please? - Second, the plug is on the pricey side as smart plugs go. $25 is steep for a single plug. Then again, it's nice to keep everything "within Alexa," and hopefully Amazon will offer some deals on them as time goes on.
