Okay, so I finally caved and got these Kasa smart plugs after my third 'Oops I left the coffee maker on again' panic moment. Verdict? Life-changing.

First off – setup was STUPID easy. Like 'plug in → open app → bam, connected' easy. My grandma could do this (and I might actually buy her some). The app guided me through everything, and linking to Alexa took literal seconds.

The size is perfect! These don’t hog the entire outlet like some bulky smart plugs. I can still use the second socket for my phone charger – revolutionary.

I’ve got one running my bedside lamp (goodbye fumbling for switches at 2AM) and another on my humidifier that turns off automatically when I leave for work. The scheduling feature? *Chef’s kiss*

Only gripe: Why no HomeKit support? Come on TP-Link, throw us Apple users a bone here! But hey, works flawlessly with Alexa/Google so I’ll survive.

Pro tip: These are PERFECT for Christmas lights. Last year’s crawl-under-the-tree-to-unplug days are OVER.

TL;DR: Tiny, affordable, stupid simple to use. Buy them before your non-smart-home life feels embarrassingly primitive.
