00:00So I finally got tired of walking across the room to unplug my space heater at 2 in the morning
00:04and
00:05that little annoyance sent me down a rabbit hole. I spent the last couple of weeks testing smart
00:10plugs, digging through reviews, and hunting for actual deals, and I've narrowed it down to 5 that
00:14genuinely earned their spot. Every single one of these has app control and proper scheduling,
00:20so stick around, because number 4 completely surprised me on price.
00:24Starting off with the Wi-Fi smart plug dual outlet and the big deal here is right in the name,
00:29two independently control outlets in one plug. So you can have your lamp on a sunset schedule and
00:35your fan on a totally separate timer, from the same socket. It's rated for 16 amps, works with Tuya,
00:42Smart Life, Google Home and Alexa, and nearly 5,000 people have bought it with a 4.8 rating.
00:48At $108.93 it's definitely the premium pick, but if you're trying to control two things from one
00:54wall socket without a bulky splitter, this is the clean way to do it. Next up is the AC85-265V
01:02Tuya smart socket with the built-in digital wattmeter, and this one's for the data nerds,
01:06I say that lovingly, because I am one. It's got an actual display on the front showing your live
01:11wattage and accumulated kilowatt hours, so you're not just guessing what's eating your electricity bill.
01:17Wide voltage range, 16-amp rating, and a 4.9 rating from over 4,700 buyers.
01:24It's $130.52, which is the priciest here, but if you've ever argued with someone about how much
01:30that old fridge or gaming PC actually costs to run, this settles it permanently.
01:35Third, the Tuya Smart Plug UK version, and what makes this one interesting is that it does both
01:40Wi-Fi and ZigBee, with no hub required if you're going the Wi-Fi route.
01:44You get 16- and 20-amp options, full-energy monitoring, timers and schedules,
01:49and it plays nicely with Alexa and Google Home. It's sitting at a perfect 5-star rating with over
01:544,700 sold, which is honestly rare to see. At $79.18 it's the flexible middle ground,
02:02buy it now on Wi-Fi, and if you ever build out a ZigBee mesh later, it's already compatible.
02:08Now, number 4, and this is the one I keep recommending to friends.
02:12The SunOff S60, available in EU and UK plug types, gives you power monitoring,
02:17overload protection, and full-timer scheduling, and it works with Alexa, Google Home, and even Alice.
02:24SunOff has a really solid reputation for reliability, the app is genuinely well-built,
02:29and it's rated 4.9 with nearly 4,600 sold.
02:33And the price?
02:35$10.90.
02:37That is absurd for a plug with energy monitoring and overload protection built-in.
02:42If you want to buy 3 or 4 and smarten up a whole room, this is the one.
02:47And rounding it out, the MOES Wi-Fi Smart Power Socket, this one has a trick the others don't,
02:52brightness adjustment.
02:54So it doubles as a basic dimmer for compatible lamps, which means warm low light in the evening
02:59on a schedule, without buying separate smart bulbs.
03:02It runs through Tuya and Smart Life, works with Alexa and Google Assistant, and it's got
03:07a perfect 5-star rating across more than 4,500 orders.
03:11At $17.47, it's a really smart little upgrade for a bedside lamp or a living room corner light.
03:19All 5 links are down in the description, and prices on these do shift around,
03:23so it's worth checking before you commit.
03:26If this helped you out, a like genuinely makes a difference,
03:29and subscribe if you want more honest gear roundups like this one.
03:33Thanks for watching, I'll catch you in the next one.
