## What reviewers say

**Kasa Smart Plug Mini EP25** — Only one whitelisted tester, Engadget, hands-on reviewed this exact model, naming the Kasa Smart Plug Mini EP25 its best smart plug overall after weeks of use. It praises fuss-free setup, a solid connection even at long range from the router, support for all four major smart-home platforms and a low ~$13-each price. Its sole gripe is that the hardware design is four years old. No lab measurements were reported. (1 sourced review.)

**Wyze Plug** — Two whitelisted outlets (PCWorld, Tom's Guide) covered the indoor Wyze Plug; both call it a top budget pick at ~$15 for a two-pack (under $8 per plug) and praise the randomized vacation mode. Neither published lab measurements — no RTINGS-style bench data. PCWorld ran a hands-on check, called operation 'flawless' and the app 'decidedly simple,' and flags no energy monitoring (usage tracked by time only), on/off-only with no dimming, and 2.4GHz-only Wi-Fi. Tom's Guide's take is a best-smart-plugs roundup summary and its main gripe is no Apple HomeKit (Alexa/Google only). (2 sourced reviews.)
