Okay, let me start by saying this little white cube has saved my lazy butt more times than I can count. The Simply Conserve Smart Socket isn't just smart - it's basically my home's superhero sidekick.

Remember that annoying TV reboot dance? Unplug-wait-plug back in? Gone. Now I just tap my phone while binge-watching Netflix like some tech wizard. Even rebooted it for my wife while I was at a conference in Vegas (don't tell her I was poolside doing this).

The setup was stupid easy - no hub nonsense, just WiFi and their app. Though heads up Alexa users: had to do the app first before voice commands worked. The physical button's actually useful when my phone's charging across the room.

What surprised me most? This thing handles my 15A power tools like a champ. Most smart plugs tap out at 10A, but this one powers my miter saw without breaking a sweat (unlike me when using said saw).

Downsides? The pairing mode button hold feels outdated, and one reviewer couldn't get Alexa working at all (mine worked after app linking). But for $20? I'm buying three more next paycheck.
