The Kasa EP10 is a compact, UL-certified mini smart plug rated for up to 15A, built for reliability and broad smart-home compatibility. It works with Alexa and Google Assistant, and the Kasa app provides guided setup, scheduling, and automation features — a strong choice where safety certification and cross-assistant support matter.

Editor verdict

A dependable, renter-friendly smart plug that balances safety certification and useful app features — excellent when you want assurance (UL + warranty) and flexibility across voice platforms.

Renter Note

Confirm outlet spacing before purchase. EP10 is compact, but measure if you need the second outlet free.

Amazon Smart Plug — Overview

The Amazon Smart Plug is designed for the fastest, simplest Alexa experience: plug it in, set it up in the Alexa app, and add voice control. It supports standard US household loads (15A) and is ideal for people who live inside the Alexa ecosystem and value frictionless setup.

Best For

People deeply invested in Alexa who want the quickest and simplest way to add voice control to outlets.

Editor verdict

If you use Alexa and want zero friction setup, this is the smartest, simplest pick. Choose other plugs only if you need Google Assistant or multi-platform flexibility.

Small body preserves adjacent outlet space — a practical plus in rentals.

Wyze Plug (WLPP1) — Overview

Automation enthusiasts and renters who want behavior-based automations (e.g., sensor triggers, vacation mode) without breaking the bank.

Editor verdict

Wyze Plug is the best value pick for people who want advanced automations and sensor integrations — especially useful if you already use other Wyze devices.

Renter note

Vacation mode is a security win for renters. Check outlet spacing to ensure the plug doesn’t block adjacent sockets.

TP-Link Kasa EP10 — Reviews

La Famiglia Cucina

This is my second purchase of the Kasa Smart Light Switch, and it’s easily one of my favorite smart home upgrades! What I love most is how seamlessly it integrates with my phone and Alexa—no hub required. Whether I’m out and about or already tucked into bed, I can control my lights with a simple voice command or a quick tap on my phone.

I’m notorious for forgetting to turn off lights at night, and this switch has saved me countless trips out of bed. Now, I just ask Alexa and it’s done. The installation was a breeze—practically plug and play—and setting up schedules for each switch is just as simple.

If you’re looking for an easy, reliable, and affordable way to smarten up your home, this is it. Highly recommend!

Charles L Aronson

A few pack of these and I smart-ified my whole apartment. Great value and an absolute breeze to set up. Plug something into it, scan the QR code and set it up in two minutes. Apple HomeKit recognized it immediately. No fuss and has worked perfectly for nearly a year now.

Alex

“Great scheduling features — actually reduced my energy use.”

Amazon Smart Plug — Reviews

Peter

“Set up in under two minutes through the Alexa app.”

Yeidy Beatriz

I’m really happy with this smart plug. It works perfectly with Alexa, I mainly use it for my fan, and it’s just perfect. It responds quickly, is easy to set up, and has made my daily routine so much easier. Now I can turn my fan on or off with just my voice, and I love the convenience it brings. Definitely a great purchase! ☺️💜

Regina

This smart plug couldn’t be easier to use. Setup took just a couple of minutes through the Alexa app, and it synced right up with my Echo Dot. Now I can turn lamps, fans, and other devices on or off with just my voice or through the app—even when I’m not home.

It’s compact enough that it doesn’t block the second outlet, and it feels sturdy and well-made. I love the convenience of adding a little “smart” upgrade to my home without needing any extra hubs or complicated steps.

If you already have Alexa, this plug is a no-brainer. Simple, reliable, and super handy!

Wyze Plug (WLPP1) — Reviews

Jonathan

These are really neat and work exactly as they should. Wyze made them simple, so they’re low on the complexity scale when it comes to using them and they plug right into an existing Wyze network of cameras etc. One click on my phone turns them on or off and it’s obvious what their status is. I really couldn’t ask for anything better than the way they’ve designed these. I’m glad they didn’t over-engineer them and I hope they keep them simple.

karen

It’s a great timer to have especially when your away. Turn lights etc. on and off from your smart phone.

Joshua Tilley

Works as they should, quick to response. Good quality feel and look. Was able to set a timer for when my fish tank lights turned on and off during the day. Work well with the app and even better using my Alexa.
