Best Electrical Outlet Switches of 2025

"I recently purchased the Amazon Smart Plug, and it works exactly as intended. Setting it up was incredibly easy, and it seamlessly integrates with Alexa. I primarily use it for my lamp, and it's fantastic to control the lighting with simple voice commands. The convenience of turning my lamp on and off without getting up adds significant comfort to my routine. I highly recommend this smart plug to anyone looking to enhance their home automation."

"As a newcomer to the Amazon device family, I finally decided to pre-order the Amazon Smart Plug after seeing its Alexa compatibility. Initially, the setup was a bit tricky since my Alexa didn't recognize it right away. However, after unplugging and scanning the code quickly, it worked perfectly. I love being able to control my baby monitor with just my voice. If you can afford to fill your home with these, they are definitely easy and awesome!"

"I really like these Amazon Smart Plugs! They work perfectly with my Alexa devices, and I love being able to schedule them to turn on and off. The setup was super easy, and the connection is reliable. I can control the lights in my kids' rooms from anywhere in the house. It's a total game-changer for bedtime routines. The only downside is that they can be a bit bulky, which makes it tricky to fit two plugs into one outlet."

"I really enjoy these switches! They're perfect for controlling my outdoor Christmas lights from inside my house. The red light indicator is a great safety feature, and I find them incredibly convenient for my aquariums during maintenance."

"I'm thrilled with this three-pack! We use them for our patio lights, and they allow us to keep our Google Hub plugged in for music while easily turning lights on and off. They blend right in, which I love!"

"These switches are a game-changer for me! I placed five around my apartment to help manage my devices and they’re doing a fantastic job at helping me reduce my electric bill. The indicator light makes it easy to check if they're off at night."

"I couldn't be more pleased with the Kasa Smart Plug Mini 15A! These plugs work flawlessly—never once have I experienced a network disconnect. Setup was incredibly easy, whether through the Kasa app or Alexa. The sleek design doesn't block the second outlet in a standard 2-gang plug, which is incredibly convenient. I'm so impressed with their performance that I'll definitely be purchasing more!"

"Setting up these plugs was straightforward, and I love the ability to schedule them or run for a specific amount of time. I've got my Christmas lights automated and even a hot water recirculating pump on one. They are a great bargain for a pack of four, and the app is very user-friendly!"

"The setup process was a bit of a hassle, with each plug taking 10 to 30 minutes to connect. However, once set up, they work well for controlling various outlets like my Christmas decorations. I appreciate the scheduling feature, but it would be nice if I didn’t have to set up each on/off time separately. Overall, I'll give these a 3.5."

"I found these incredibly handy during the holiday season! I was able to turn on all my Christmas trees and decorations with ease, making everything so convenient!"

"I love the fact that I can control five devices with just two remotes. I set them up around our bedroom for dimmer lights, a TV firestick, heating pads, and my phone charger. No setup required, and I don’t have to get out of bed to turn things off!"

"Initially, I thought these would be great for my Christmas decorations since I had multiple remotes in previous years. However, some plugs turned off after 30 seconds. I reached out to the company, and their customer service was prompt and helpful, sending me a replacement. I would definitely buy from them again!"

“I just received my switches and I already love them! I bought them to cut down on phantom electricity from chargers and appliances. Although I might not see the savings immediately, the convenience they provide is already worth it. They fit well in my outlets and help keep them from getting worn out. Plus, they hold on better to my loose outlets, making them usable again.”

“I purchased these to turn off my coffee grinder display after use. The switch on my lamp is hard to reach, so having this makes it much easier to control. It's perfect for accessible outlets, and I think it could be helpful for the elderly or handicapped as well. I did find a similar item at Home Depot for less, but I prefer the trustworthy GE brand.”

“These switches are so handy! I keep one by my bed to easily turn off the light. I’ve had similar plugs before, but they were hard to pull out. I thought they were a bit expensive at first, but I see their value now, especially in keeping my setup simple and functional.”

"I find these plugs to be freaking awesome! We had some electrical issues and had to remove switches that allowed us to control our lamps. These plugs fixed that! I set up lamps, the Christmas tree, and outdoor lights with them. The remote is super handy, especially the 'all off' button at night. One small issue is needing to aim the remote sometimes, but overall, a great product!"

"After buying a new overhead light with an inconvenient switch, I tried this remote control outlet. It worked right out of the box with no programming. I attached the remote with a command strip and it works perfectly. My only regret is not getting the three-outlet version since I ordered lights that have a similar issue. These are so handy and much more affordable than smart lights!"

"I purchased these outlets for my workshop. At first, I thought they might be underpowered, but they work just fine! I have one connected to my vacuum/dust collector, and it's amazing to control it without being near it. Plus, the ability to turn all outlets off at once is a great safety feature. I highly recommend this product!"

"I have living room lights in dark corners, and two of the lamps have inconvenient cord switches. These three wireless plugs made turning them on and off so easy! They are perfect for those spots that are hard to reach. The plugs are numbered, and the remote is lightweight with numbered buttons. I highly recommend this!"

"We purchased this device two Christmases ago to control our tree lights more easily. This year, we expanded its use to other outlets, and it has worked wonderfully every time! It's simple to set up, and the controls are intuitive. I highly recommend it for any home."

"I've been using mine for nearly a year, and I love that I can turn everything on with just a few clicks when I get to work in the morning. Setting up the remote was a breeze. However, receiver #3 stopped working unexpectedly. I tried troubleshooting, but it didn't help. Since the other two are still functioning well, I decided to order another set as a backup."

"I found the Kasa smart switch to be incredibly simple to set up. It took me less than five minutes to get everything running, including linking it with Alexa and Google Home. The app made the process straightforward, and once I connected to the WiFi, I could control the switch easily. Overall, I was impressed with how well it worked compared to my previous WeMo switch."

"I absolutely love my Kasa smart plugs! They have made automating my home so much easier. I use them for everything from Christmas lights to fans. The app is intuitive, and I appreciate that they connect seamlessly to my WiFi and work well with Google Assistant. The only downside is that they only operate over WiFi, which can be a limitation in my college dorm, but their scheduling feature works independently, which is a plus!"

"Having used Kasa products for years, I can confidently say they are reliable and easy to use. I've never had any trouble with my plugs, and their customer service is exceptional. They guided me through the setup process without any upselling. I started with just one plug and now have six because they are so effective and simple to install—usually taking only about five minutes!"

"This product works exceptionally well. It's super responsive and integrates seamlessly into any smart home, including Home Assistant and HomeKit, which I use. Great energy monitoring capabilities and very reasonably priced. Setting up and using it is also very straightforward."

"I ordered and installed a four pack of KASA Smart Plug Mini 15A's. I had been using Wemo plugs and faced connection issues for a long time. After reading NYT Wirecutter reviews, I decided to try these KASA Smart plugs, which were the #1 recommended. They connected easily right out of the box! The KASA app is intuitive and easy to use. Now, over 30 days later, I don't have to think about them; they just work! No glitching and no connection errors even after a power outage. Very satisfied with my KASA Mini smart plugs and will definitely order more!"

"I find the Kasa Smart Plug Mini 15A to be a fantastic addition to my smart home setup. Its compatibility with Apple HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home makes it incredibly versatile. Setting it up was quick and straightforward, and it works seamlessly with Siri for voice commands. The compact size doesn't block adjacent outlets, and the 15A capacity is perfect for various devices. The app is user-friendly, allowing for effortless scheduling and remote control. If you're looking for a reliable and efficient smart plug, I highly recommend this!"

"I've found the Govee Smart Plug to be a wonderful addition to my home, especially during the holiday season. Setting it up was quick and easy, and its compact design doesn’t block other outlets. It's perfect for controlling my Christmas lights, letting me schedule them to turn on and off automatically without any hassle. The Govee Home app is user-friendly, allowing me to create routines and control multiple plugs. I love the ability to turn on my decorations with a quick tap or voice command through Alexa. It's reliable, affordable, and simplifies my holiday setup!"

"As someone who loves smart home gadgets, I can confidently say that the Govee Smart Plugs have been a game-changer for me. These plugs integrate seamlessly with Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing me to control devices effortlessly with voice commands. The straightforward setup and intuitive app make managing devices a breeze. While they only work with 2.4G WiFi, they have performed reliably and provide great convenience. I highly recommend these plugs for anyone looking to enhance their home automation!"

"I purchased the Govee Smart Plugs primarily for our Christmas tree because I dislike crawling behind it to plug it in. They are incredibly easy to use and very affordable. Without needing Alexa, I was able to connect them directly to my phone, and the connection has always been reliable. I appreciate the automatic scheduling feature and the manual power button. Even if I'm away, my fiancé can use the app. I highly recommend these plugs and am looking to buy more!"
