> 3 dayI am in the process of setting up a new aquarium and decided to try a smart plug surge protector to plug in the various aquarium-related equipment. I especially was interested in the ability to individually switch off the plug for the aquarium filter for cleaning time. Also being able to use a smart timer for the aquarium light is great. I got the three-AC plug unit as that meets the aquarium needs in a compact form factor. I have been using Kasa Smart plugs for several years and have had the app for all that time. Setting up the Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip was easy and done in 3 minutes. It is also working with my Amazon Echo and Alexa (as are my Kasa Smart Plugs). While the plug is flat, it is thicker than the plug on my Belkin power strip (and it does not rotate). The gap between the cabinet and the wall is about an inch whereas it would be maybe 1/4 inch less with the Belkin power strip plug. Also, the plug cable is a little short at 3 feet which limited the placement of the power strip. What else would make this power strip better? I would like to see this in other form factors such as tower or square or in a cable management box. It would make it even more useful for aquarium applications. AUTHCODE CO092922KSPPS

> 3 dayEasy to use and install (install was less than three minutes to set up). Only issue is that the cord itself is only about three feet so had to use it for something else. However the features outweigh the benefits of me looking for another one so later I’ll invest in a different brand with a longer cord.

> 3 dayI bought two for these . Ive had both less than 6 months. One is working fine. The other has quit working. I like the one that works ! The other one is good for nothing other than an awkward paperweight with a cord!!!!I I reduced my rating to one star because TP-Links warranty is extremely deceiving. I spent considerable time on their chat convincing them that the dud was defective. They agreed. Said it was covered under warranty and said they would replace it. The kicker is: They want the defective power strip that they produced mailed back to them at my expense! The expense of shipping it back pretty much makes the warranty useless!!! Im hoping to warn others before they run into the same problem •••After my complaint about the company requiring that I pay return postage, they did send me a return label. I added a couple of stars back

> 3 dayLike surge protection but dont turn nothing on or off. Theres no connection to my Alexa show . I will definitely do more research when trying to get plugs for Alexa .

> 3 dayI bought this to replace a dumb strip that I was using for my 3D printer and wireless interface/camera for it. I wanted to be able to set a timer and turn them off once a print finished at night while I was sleeping. This worked out great for me, minus the Alexa integration. You can setup groups within the Kasa app but those groups are not shared or displayed within Alexa. So dont waste your time making these plugs a group in the Kasa app, go inside Alexa app and make it there. Otherwise its fine, quick and responsive. The build quality is solid. Note that the USB ports are not high wattage so youll not get any fast charging on any of your devices. Overall its great, especially if you get it on sale

> 3 dayKasa is a brand I’ve come to trust. They are easy to set up with the app, they work well with my network, and they last. The strip with individual smart plugs is brilliant for a small space, like behind the tv. A good value, I think.

> 3 dayI purchased a similar Wi-Fi power strip from Walmart & it connected next to my router, but when I took it in the next room, it would not connect to the Wi-Fi. So I took it back to the store. & I found this one on Amazon & it was super easy to set it up & download the app. I like that it has a timer option or a manual option to turn it on or off. So far it’s great! And it worked perfectly for what I needed it for.

Greater than one weekThis power strip works great as a power strip, but the connection is not consistent. Every so often I had to unplug and reset it to have a connection again. Ended up getting a refund when I tried to troubleshoot the problem.
