Kasa Smart Plug Ultra Mini
Lowest price ever
4.6-star average rating from 3,679 reviews on Amazon
We’ve previously recommended several smart plugs from Kasa, which let you control household devices using voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. These mini smart plugs — the smallest option from the brand — are compact enough to allow a second plug on the same outlet, according to the brand. The smart plugs let you create a schedule for your appliances — they can turn these devices on and off depending on your daily routine, while the timer function automatically turns off your plugged-in appliances after a certain amount of time, Kasa says. And when you use the plug’s Away Mode, it can turn on lamps and other in-house lights to make it look like you’re home, the brand says.
