The BEST Smart Plugs for Amazon Alexa

We’ll be honest with you, smart home accessories are hard to figure out because we’re so use to doing everything the “dumb” way. Need to turn on the humidifier? You walk over to it and press the power button. Is simplifying that process worth a $40-$60 smart plug? In that specific instance, the question might be “no” but how about using Amazon Alexa to remotely turn on the humidifier if you forgot to turn it on?
If you’re pairing it with other smart home devices, you can setup a schedule so that every time your bathroom light comes in the morning, your water kettle starts so you can have hot water for coffee/tea the moment you’re in the kitchen.
These are just some of the examples of how smart plugs can be used effectively in any household! But again, what are the BEST Smart Plugs for Amazon Alexa?
We’ve scored all the products listed above in the same manner. We’re not sponsored by any of the companies listed on this page so the content so the reviews are quite unbiased. For smart plugs, 20% of the score is dedicated to the physical design of the product, 55% of the score the functionality and the last 25% deals with the compatibility with other systems.
We will add that using HomeKit enabled smart plugs offer better automations than Amazon Alexa. You might be able to accomplish the same using a plethora of 3rd party apps with Alexa but it will take a bit more effort.
