Okay, so I’ve tried a bunch of smart plugs before, but the Eightree Smart Plug is seriously next-level. First off, the dual-band WiFi (5GHz & 2.4GHz) is a lifesaver—no more connection drama with my modern router. Setup? Literally took me two minutes. Plug it in, scan the barcode from the sheet (genius move, by the way), and boom—it’s in my Smart Life app.

The voice control with Alexa and Google Home is smooth as butter. I can just yell across the room to turn off my lamp like some kind of tech wizard. Also, the scheduling feature is perfect for my lazy self—I set my coffee maker to turn on at 7 AM, and now I wake up to fresh brew without lifting a finger.

One thing I love is how compact it is. Doesn’t hog space or block other outlets, which is rare for smart plugs. And hey, ETL/FCC certified? That’s just peace of mind right there.

Only minor gripe: The app notifications are a bit weird—it says 'device and network error' when my scheduled events trigger, which freaks me out for half a second before I realize it’s just doing its job. But honestly? Small price to pay for how reliable this thing has been.

If you’re tired of finicky smart plugs that drop connections or require a PhD to set up, grab these. Trust me.
