The Amazon Smart Plug is on sale for just $13 as part of the latest Prime Day
event. This is 48 percent off and a record-low, as the typical price is $25.
It just might be time to stock up.

The Smart Plug is pretty handy. It plugs into any standard outlet and
integrates with Alexa. This means that it provides voice control to many
common household items like lamps and coffee makers. It made our list of the
best smart plugs and this is especially true for those already tied into
Amazon's ecosystem.

It's extremely easy to set up and use, particularly for folks who have some
experience with the Alexa app. It doesn't require a smart home hub, as the
app itself handles adjustments. The compact design also ensures there's room
for another plug in a standard two-outlet fixture. The plug will
automatically reconnect to Alexa after a power or Wi-Fi outage.

We came away impressed with some of the features here. The app allows users
to create routines, and we got a small thrill by saying "Alexa, goodnight"
and watching everything power down for the evening.

The major drawback here is the app's lack of sharing capabilities. The app
doesn't let other people in the home access smart home devices, though they
should be able to turn stuff on and off with their voice. However, they won't
be able to make routines or adjust settings. It's also not the cheapest smart
plug on the market, but this sale handles that for now.
