> 24 hourThis is a great product to use to turn devices/appliances into smart devices without the cost. I added this to a routine to turn off the power to the outlet at a certain time so my son isn’t up all night watching tv and it was so nice to be able to set it and forget it. Install was just as easy as a regular outlet installation and only took me about 5 minutes total.

> 24 hourI love that this works with my Alexa. It’s so convenient to use versus a plug that sticks out of the wall. My husband installed and had no issues. I already had the app so it linked right up and I was ready to go. I definitely recommend.

> 24 hourIve had and installed a bunch of different outlets similar to this item. When I moved, instead of going with the brand I had been using (which was zwave) I figured itd be worth trying out some of the very prevalent Wi-Fi outlets. The ability to work without a hub, but also integrate into a smart home automation system, seemed nice. One plus to this vs. my older outlets: both outlets can be controlled independently, both via buttons (clearly labeled) on the outlet, or via the app. All my old outlets only had one controllable outlet, with the second outlet always powered on. Having extra control is a nice plus. Getting the outlet paired up and working was simple, certainly easier than zwave or bluetooth. If you do multiple, once you get the hang of it you can pair a device up in under a minute.

> 24 hourWhat a great plug with a very intuitive app. I wanted to add an outlet in my closet so I can power a Dyson and another Floor Washer vaccum & this seemed like the perfect fit, and it was ! Pulled power from an outlet in adjacent room and it powered right up, unlike most outlets, this one has the 3 wires coming out of it, instead of your plug ins or twisters around screw, you just join the wires and voila. App integration was seemless as well. I didn’t want these 2 machines to stay plugged in all the time so not to damage the batteries. With the app I can set it on a schedule or do a countdown. Connected to my Alexa Account quickly and you are able to control each plug separately by voice as well, excellent plug. Recommend.

> 24 hourI have a lot of smart home devices and just about everything in my house that can be automated is. I needed an extra outlet to control a new lamp I have and stumbled upon this device to try and I am in love. All of my other home outlets are 50/50 in terms of being smart. Typically the top outlet is “standard” and not controlled and then the bottom outlet is “smart” and can be voice controlled or a button on the outlet can control the on/off of it. With this device BOTH the top and the bottom are smart, allowing you to control two different devices from the one outlet. On the device there are two buttons, one to control each outlet. This is great as I remember being very disappointed with my first outlet that it didn’t control both. I got used to it over time but now I don’t have to. I’ll likely be looking to replace some of my other GE outlets with these for areas I want two devices to be controlled in the same area.

> 24 hourThis is a nice dual smart plug. Both outlets can be individually controlled. This plug works with all voice assistants as well and can be integrated into Home Assistant using the Smart Home App. Good plug with individual control.

> 24 hourHelpful to have. Easy to install, just make sure to turn the power to the outlet off first. Took a minute to install with Alexa. Am very happy with this and that it is voice activated.

> 24 hourNew review: Here’a an update on this. After writing this review, I found out that my daughter-in-law had tried to use a power washer to clean her car while the receptacle was also charging my car. The receptacle is rated for 15A, but I can’t imagine how much current was going through it while the power washer motor tried starting up. It’s no surprise that it was damaged. I also have to say that the company’s customer support was very quick after I posted my 1-star review. They contacted me right away and tried to resolve my problem,. Since this wasn’t a regular purchase, they could t refund or replace it, but it it was a regular Amazon purchase, it would have been resolved almost immediately. Frankly, I’d rather replace a $25 receptacle than have my home wiring overheat and become a fire hazard inside of my walls. I’ve since replaced it with the exact same model, and it’s been working perfectly. I’ve disabled the second outlet so that it can’t be overloaded again. I really love this receptacle, and the app control and energy monitoring are great. I have no problems recommending this gadget, but I would suggest that you don’t use it where multiple heavy-load devices can ce used simultaneously, like in a kitchen with an air fryer and a microwave plugged into it and they might get used at the same time. Keep your total usage under 15A, or 1,i00W. Old review: This receptacle worked well for a little under a month before it died. I installed it in my garage to power a Level 1 evse (12A) so I could track the energy usage. The receptacle is rated for 15A, so a 12A constant load should have been ok to use with it. This doesn’t seem to be the case. A couple of days ago, it simply stopped working. It wouldn’t power up, illuminate any of the LEDs, or connect to WiFi. I removed it from the wall and opened it up to see if I could identify the problem. The internal fuse had blown, so I replaced it and reinstalled it. It powered up and connected to WiFi, but when I plugged in my receptacle tester, it showed a ground fault. I decided that it wasn’t worth opening up again. This might be a good outlet for light duty, but I don’t think that it’s good enough for long-term heavy use. That was disappointing, since it was really great while it worked.

> 24 hourI wont repeat the same accolades of this wall outlet posted already because I agree with everything said. This outlet is easy to install using basic electrical DIY skills. It has the basic black, white, and green wires that easily connect to your existing outlet being replaced. Once thats done, using the App to connect using WiFi is another no-brainer. I currently use the Gosund App and Alexa to control this outlet. I love the convenience.

> 24 hourIve been using these for almost a year. So far, 2 of them had died/fried on me and Ive had to replace it. I dont see any other products that do exactly the same thing (monitor consumption) or I would try another product if it seemed like it was higher quality. The app works well. The energy consumption records a line graph, but doesnt really break down the actual time of the day the energy is being used so now that the utility company is implementing a variable rate based on different times of the day, this isnt enough to figure out how much $ of electricity is being used. It is reasonably priced for what it can do, I just wish they wouldnt die so often. Install rating is 3* because its very finicky to get connected to the WiFi. If it would connect to the WiFi on first attempt, it could be 5* installation.
