## What reviewers say

**Amazon Smart Thermostat** — Three whitelisted outlets reviewed the ~$60 Amazon Smart Thermostat in 2021-2022 and all rate it the best-value smart thermostat. Tom's Guide and Reviewed/USA Today are hands-on reviews (Reviewed wired it to a test rig); TechRadar is a 'should I buy' buying-advice piece with no hands-on testing. None report any lab-measured numbers (all measured arrays empty). The one universal caveat is that the thermostat is Alexa-only. All nine quotes were verified as literal substrings of the fetched pages. (3 sourced reviews.)
