I bought the basic Amazon Smart Plug to automate a few lamps around my house, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to set up and use. From the moment I plugged it in, the Alexa app detected it instantly and walked me through a quick setup that took less than a minute.The plug responds immediately to voice commands, routines, and schedules. I love being able to say, “Alexa, turn on the lamp,” especially when my hands are full or I’m walking into a dark room. It also works great for automating holiday lights and my coffee maker in the mornings.The design is compact enough that it doesn’t crowd the second outlet, and it’s been totally reliable—no random disconnects or glitches. If you already have Alexa devices, this plug integrates seamlessly.Overall, this is a simple but incredibly useful smart home upgrade. Highly recommended for anyone looking to dip their toes into smart home devices without spending a lot or dealing with complicated setups.

Absolutely an awesome product especially if you are a Prime Alexa user. It super easy to use and very intuitive. It is compatible with the Alexa app controls or by voice to your Alexa commands. Within your app, you can add timers which is convenient and can be used whether you are home or away. I already have one and when I saw the good price for the value of this product to get 2, I jumped at the opportunity. I attached it to other lights in my home. For me it was as easy as plugging in the plug and naming it (for user commands and identifying which item you are using).For me the convenience of this product is very useful, hands free, and hassle-free in and around my home to use various things with ease. The smart plugs are sturdy and durable.I highly recommend this product and would definitely purchase again, to use for other home automation items in my home.

These plugs are amazing! I’m not sure what they changed, but the setup is much easier than it used to be. I plugged them in and they configured by themselves…I just named them in settings. I also created a Christmas Lights group and added them to it… so I just say “Alexa, turn on (or off) the Christmas Lights” and everything around the house goes on or off with that one command. Super easy! I can also set a timer to do the same, but we like keeping them on until sleep time, which varies. Just bought more for stocking stuffers. Couldn’t be happier!!

These work well and I would likely give them 5 stars if the setup were as easy as they lead you to believe. After a few failed attempts, I finally figured out that I had to let the light flash until it went solid, then hold the power button to reset the plug in order for it to be found by the Alexa App. In addition, it would not find my wifi network, I had to enter the network name and password manually. Not a big deal once I figure out it was as “plug and play” as they directions say.Overall, these work well when connected. I like that I can create a group in the app and ask Alexa to turn on the group. Mainly bought these to control different Christmas lights throughout the house. So far, when testing, it works well to turn the group on/off.I will likely buy these again in the future if there becomes a need for another smart plug.

These are the best smart outlets. Installation is basically plug and play and no other app is required. As long as you’ve got the Alexa app it is easy peasy and you’ll have your outlets controlling your device’s power in a few minutes. I have a couple of these from when they first came out and they still work perfectly. Other brands have stopped working or their 3rd party app has been discontinued. I will only buy Amazon branded outlets from now on so I can be sure they won’t become obsolete in 6 or 7 years.

I’ve been using the Amazon Basics Smart Plug for a few months now, and it’s been a great addition to my smart home setup. Setup was super easy — I just plugged it in, opened the Alexa app, and it connected within a minute. No separate hub needed, which is a big plus.I use it to control my coffee maker and a lamp, and it responds instantly to Alexa voice commands. Scheduling through the app works perfectly, and I like being able to turn devices on/off even when I’m not home.The plug itself is a little bulky, so it might block the second outlet if you’re using a tight space, but that’s a minor issue. Overall, it’s reliable, affordable, and does exactly what it promises.Pros:Simple setup with AlexaReliable connection (no drops so far)Works great for lamps, fans, and small appliancesNo need for a separate smart hubCons:Slightly bulky designOnly works with Alexa (no Google Home support)If you’re already using Alexa devices, this is one of the best and most budget-friendly smart plugs out there. Highly recommend!

I was an early adopter of Amazon Alexa technology. I love the convenience of being able to turn on/off lights without having to actually use the switch.I originally bought another brand of plug; they were complicated to install and would often need to be “re-paired” with the light for no apparent reason. It was aggravating.I finally got totally fed up and bought the Amazon Basics plugs to replace them.Wow, what a difference!It’s incredibly easy to pair with the device; it “talks” you through each step, making it almost idiot-proof.I highly recommend these plugs, and my old plugs are in the trash!

These are perfect. I use them in conjunction with our Alexa echo app to set a routine. We have 3 of these plugs to turn on and off the lights & heat lamps for our tortoise & our fish tank! The timer works great and I don’t have to worry about remembering to turn them on. This is important as our tortoise needs 12 hours of light daily! They are super simple to set up, especially if familiar with Alexa smart products. The instructions make it even easier. They work with anything you plug into them. We bought one like 5 years ago and it’s still working!

These are hands down my favorite cord bundlers. After trying several alternatives, none compare to the reliability and convenience of Command’s design.- Performance: Keeps cords neat, secure, and out of the way without damaging surfaces.- Versatility: I use them everywhere—on my mixer, Keurig, air fryer, composter, toothbrush, and anywhere a cord feels cumbersome.- Availability: My only wish is that they were more readily available in local big-box stores. Amazon has been the easiest place to find them.- Design: Functionality is excellent, but I do wish they came in at least black or brown to better match appliances and décor.- Product Line Fit: These deserve a bigger spotlight in the Command strip lineup—they’re one of the most practical accessories I’ve used.✅ Final ThoughtsIf you are tired of messy cords cluttering your counters or appliances, these cord bundlers are a game-changer. Easy to use, damage-free, and versatile enough for almost any household device, they’re the best solution I’ve found for cord management. A wider color selection would make them perfect.

Oh wow – I was actually about to write a bad review saying this doesn’t work… but it turns out I was the problem. I was putting it on the wrong way! Once I realized that and followed the directions properly, it worked perfectly.My husband has been super busy and hasn’t had time to install the usual hardware we use on the mantel, and I really didn’t want to bother him????. I found these on Amazon and they are honestly a lifesaver. For a woman who doesn’t really know how to handle a drill, this is the BEST friend you can have around the house.Strong hold, easy to use, and no damage to the walls. Great, great, great purchase – this is going to be my best friend forever.

The stick quality of these are great. What’s even better is that they peeled easily off of drywall with no damage whatsoever so ever. Easy to use and straight forward instructions.

Does very well for hats, belts, garland. Anything that needs to stay put.

“These work great for the different garland I hung around the house. Tip: I used 1 extra for every 2. Just to make sure it held up throughout the holidays.” – my wife

I used these for holding my garland on my mantle and they worked great! Never had any issue with anything falling this year. Very sturdy and sticky.

these worked like a charm decorating the mantle with garland. I will be using again.

Used on my mantle for holiday garland. It is easy to apply and holds the weight I needed it to. It’s sturdy and was exactly what I was looking for

Easy to use timer! I ordered this timer with 2 outlets last night & received it today. I set it up using directions. I was confused about how to push the pins down because they would go. THE TRICK IS you have to push them all UP first as its shipped with them down. Once I figured that out it was easy. I had several things I wanted to plug in so I plugged everything into a multi outlet power cord and plugged it into the timer. Everything came alive at 6pm as scheduled. EXTREMELY happy with this timer.An extension cord into the timer

So far so good with the timer. It’s easy to set up, and seems to be well made. It has multiple programs that you can set, including a random option which will be good for when we’re away from home for an extended period of time. Each program has a host of options for what days the timer will go off, making it that much more versatile. I use it for turning on the lighting for my Halloween display, and it rests on a branch at the base of a bush. So far it has held up well under heavy rain conditions, so I have nothing but good things to say about it. Definitely recommend it.

This timer seems durable and is working as expected. I set up a program to switch my Christmas lights on and off so I wouldnt have to worry about it. The instructions were a little confusing though, I wasn’t sure how to get the timer in Auto mode to run the program I had set up. If you press and hold the manual button, it will toggle the timer to auto mode.

The default is MANUAL. It is a timer. It should start in AUTO. Searching the directions to find out holding the manual button for 5 seconds changes it to AUTO is ridiculous.

Made well works well. When moving the 48 little switches it’s best if the one your operating isn’t at the exact top arrow where that switch is actuating the power contact. They tried to describe this in the instructions too but for what it’s worth I am describing it maybe better maybe not. So if it’s 2pm now and you want to switch on at 2 then you have to spin the time wheel off of 2 press the 2 button then spin the time back to the correct time… 2pm. Get it. Anyway 5 stars.

This timer is simple to use and works perfectly. I have tried the digital one and never could quite figure them out ended up throwing them away.

Easy to use! , I use this to plug timer for my diesel 2500 Duramax block heater for the cold mornings before work, the black is for set current PM time and white is to Set AM, “To start timer”,

I need this for outside. It’s sold as “Outdoor.” The actual words are ” Heavy Duty Mechanical Timer, Outdoor Timer Outlet Waterproof….” but then if you read the paper that comes with it (YES! There is actually a manual, or as they call it, a handbook with it!! That gets 2 stars!) It clearly states, in the 8 item “WARNING” #7 “Do not use in wet locations.” In South Carolina, if its outside, its wet. So I have to wonder what does “wet” mean? In the information given on this page it says “All-Weather Outdoor Protection] Outdoor Timer Outlet Waterproof design features upgraded materials and a sealed structure with a protective cover to guard against rain, snow, and dust. Built to withstand harsh weather and freezing temperatures.” But, not wet? I’m not using this just three weeks for Christmas. I have porch lighting that matters to me that I use every night. One of these will only have one plug used so will “wet” getting in that plug ruin my lights or just short out this timer, cause a one year warranty on a timer doesn’t fix my whole light system…. These are the things that keep me up at night. If I don’t sleep, I’m not productive, if I’m not productive…. well, it ain’t good! Who wants to lay awake at night listening to it raining and wonder is that “All weather, sealed structure WITH a protective cover to guard against rain,” getting “wet” right now? The box they come in says nothing about being waterproof. It says they feature a “Weather-Resistant Cover.” That’s the flap that closes down over the dial, not the plugs. And the name of the product is “24-hour mechanical dual outlet outdoor timer.” I have plugged one up and it does work so I gave it another star because it works, but this is confusing advertisement at best, and down right lie at worst by the seller of this product. This page says The BN^LINK Store so I don’t know if they just sell the product or manufacture the product? Either way, as a business owner and dealer for products, having a dealer misrepresenting your product its not a good look.

If you have the need to expand a nearby outlet and need minimal other stuff like voltage spike protection, ground fault detection, etc… this is a great outlet. I needed to expand a UPS, and as the UPS already had voltage protection, I wanted something simple with a short cord, and this fits the bill. The outlets are rotated 90 degrees from the usual (prongs run parallel to the length) which was great because I had a bunch of those wall warts with plug prongs that ran perpendicular to the body so in a normal power strip, they would block adjacent outlets. I can put 6 wall warts of those type on one strip. Excellent value.

This was a great deal! Bought this two pack just to keep on hand for guests or holidays. Arrived packaged well and wrapped up good so we can store it in the closet until we need it pretty compactly

I purchased these for use with my office and traveling for business presentations. They are really great for what you pay, great size and well spaced out. One stays in my travel bag to go with me everywhere.

Overall it seems like a great cord. I just got it a couple of hours ago so I haven’t used it much yet. Feels basic but solid enough. The outlets seem to hold on to plugs well.However, I am not a fan of how the power straps own plug doesn’t seem to sit in the wall outlet properly. This is an outlet I use every day with no issues and had a different extension cord in up until now that didn’t have a gap either. Pardon the dust, but the power strip cord is the top one in the first picture and the bottom one in the second with my alarm clock occupying the second outlet (it’s always plugged into this same box). The gap doesn’t sit right with me and makes me a little wary of leaving it alone.

Nice power strips. Who needs to spend a lot of money on a basic surge protector strip? Much easier to buy them on Amazon and have them delivered.

Just what I was looking for they were great, not a problem.Whatsoever, I highly recommend the price is right.

Really nice basic power strips + surge protection! These are really nicely designed. Modern looking with rounded corners and not as fat as many others. Very sturdy, generous cord, flat plug on cord for going behind furniture. Power button is slightly recessed to prevent accidental turn offs. Build quality feels like something much more expensive.

Good quality great price

Listen… I did not expect to love a power strip. Truly. But this thing? This thing is the unsung hero of my entire house.Between laptops, phones, kindles, chargers, lamps, ring lights, and whatever mystery device my husband plugged in last, I needed something that could handle the chaos. This one not only keeps up, it feels like it looks at the mess and says, “Bless your heart, I got this.” ????Twelve outlets and four USB ports means I can actually plug in everything I use without playing “unplug something to plug in something else,” which we all know is a special form of hell. The two wide-set outlets are perfect for those monster-sized chargers that always block the ones next to them.It’s sturdy, it doesn’t overheat, it’s ETL certified (which translates to: safe enough not to stress me out), and the surge protection gives me peace of mind when storms roll through or my devices decide to act dramatic.And the price? $15.98 (as of 11/16/25) for something this solid? That’s a steal. I grabbed one for my office and immediately bought another for the living room because why tempt fate?If your cords currently look like a nest built by a very stressed-out raccoon, this is the upgrade you need.

This is a great product. I use a lot of power strips. As my house doesn’t have enough outlets, & the wiring is very old. Many power strips have the plugs lined vertically and with some usb plug adapters that are large, you can only plug in say three or four plugs on a six plug outlet. This power strip has them lined horizontally so you don’t have that problem with plugs. And the three USB outlets Are a really nice feature. I don’t know what the USB.-C Outlet is, so I haven’t used that. But this power strip has worked excellent for me. I have three fish bowls with betas,& live plants , so they all need, air pumps, and heaters. As they are on an outside porch, coffee table. And this power strip has allowed me to plug in everything And then some and have all the wires discreetly placed so they’re barely noticeable.

I have owned this power strip for 4 years. Not a single issue, still looks brand new, works great. My only issue is the bright blue LED status light for the power strip. I had to cover it in multiple layers of tape and black marker to get the light gone.I have used this power strip for many things, A saltwater fishtank setup, freshwater fish tank setup, and it has been protecting my computer and TV for the last few years. If you have been looking for a good power strip just get this one, it even has extra parts in it to deal with electrical surges and extra gasses. This will keep you and your electronics safe.

Fits perfect in a cable hiding box. I bought this because it was a good balance between Joule rating, price and size. I needed to clean up, as my spouse put it, “the spaghetti under my desk” so I needed a surge protector that fit easily in the box and has plenty of outlets for all the miscellaneous “stuff”. Bonus is the cord has an attached Velcro strap. Not using the USB power adapters right now but it’s good to know it’s an option for my ever expanding desk swag 🙂

In addition to having to adjust the prongs for a proper fit into the outlet, the cord was so bent one way, I had to use straps to adjust it to the other direction for my needs. So you will probably need a pair of pliers to bend the prongs in to sit tight in the outlet.I will keep this, but not necessarily recommend it.

I bought this inexpensive power strip from Amazon a long while ago and still use it to charge a half dozen 20V 3.8Ah Lithium tool batteries at a time twice each month. There have been no problems with it. It stays cool and functions as expected. It will likely work for years after I have passed on. it surpassed in quality any power strip I could find locally and was very inexpensive.

The device has well spaced sockets. In my application I had several small transformers like used for wireless telephones and they fit in allowing standard plugs to be used next to them. Two sockets at the bottom allow quite large transformers (or other items) to be used. Note the maximum power, ~15 AMPS so power tools have to be limited.

Great product. Nice plugs, a couple USB ports, and durable. I don’t really use the switch but it seems stable. I’m an engineer so I lined up the screw holes and mounted on the side of my desk was easy and a good design.

I finally found a surge protector strip that worked with our in floor outlets in our great room. The flat and flexible extension cord allows the outlet cover on our floor to close without kinking the cord; tripping and allows rugs to lay flat on floor. I love that the square strip allows for the large recliner plugs to fit appropriately on strip without losing additional outlets on strip to plug in a lamp and it’s extra nice having the USB ports. Highly recommend this strip especially if you have in floor outlets. These are awesome!!

OK, so I have an old house. Old houses were not made for today’s technology. There are only two plugs in every room. Nowadays, you need aOK, so I have an old house. Old houses were not made for today’s technology. There are only two plugs in every room. Nowadays, you need more than that. So that’s why they invented extension cords. The problem with the extension cord in the bedroom is that the bed leans up against the cord and always knocks the plug-in off the wall. This solves the problem it lays flat near the floor and doesn’t come out of the wall. I am so happy.

I used this for my father when he was in the nursing: plugged this up in his room and we were able to keep the a couple small cans of soda in it. The multi outlets on this along with the usb ports were helpful too the cord length was very normal, just remember it’s a surge plug, so flip the switch on it to work and there’s a red dot that shows when the plug is on/active.

This power strip works great. I haven’t tried the USB and USB-C yet, I only use it to attach my chargers for Iphone, Ipad and Amazon fire tablet, It works well for my needs.

This is my second purchase from them! I have the white and now the black! This has ample outlet capability and I love the thin plug, I’m able to keep my tv stand very close to the wall because of it and it looks way better! The price is fair and reasonable.

I would have given it 5 stars but the USB ports are not fast charging. The time to charge my phone from 3% was almost 4 hours!

The minute I took it out of the box I knew it would work perfectly for my situation. Also comes with a handy velcro strap so that you can manage the cord slack.

So far this surge protector has worked great! Love the fact that it has a long cord which allows me to use it at the end of my sectional.

I have had two sets of these timers. It’s no brainer to set these timers up, it’s extremely Elementary. They go bad Within 8 months to a year… I had one take a nosedive on me about 11 months after I programmed it for my grow house. Since they’re mechanical they will wear out due to resistance. The outside dial rotates around the center little red indicator. In time the outside dial gets harder to turn around the inside indicator and it will lock completely up. I can’t say that a digital is better than a mechanical timer. I chose mechanical because I’m old school. I can touch it, feel it, and know NOW when to replace it. With a digital timer we can’t do that. I learned my lesson by not paying attention to how easy that outside dial rotates around the inside. I set it to come on at 6:00 a.m. and go off at 6:00 p.m now. One morning I woke up and my light did not come on, so I looked at my timer and realized that I couldn’t even turn the dial. It was not that crucial at the time but if it was a month later I would have ruined all my plants. I’m not bashing this timer! All things mechanical will wear. I have a spare one ready to go timed the same as the one that I have going right now. With these timers, I suggest that you use preventive maintenance. Every once in awhile unplug it and rotate that dial and make sure that it’s rotating very easily and that it’s not giving you any resistance. Note: when you turn it off and you rotated to see if it’s still easy to rotate around the inside ring. You will have to reprogram it. Very easy. When you do check it. If it is getting harder to rotate then when it came out of the box, it is time for you to throw that one away and use the new one that you have already programmed and ready to go. These timers are very reliable straight out of the box and for months on in. They’re very inexpensive and they work very well. So, I would highly recommend getting them. Safety in numbers. 2 is what you should have on hand. If one goes bad and you’re down to the one, order two more. I mean it’s like once a year that you’ll be ordering these depending on how you use them. I use mine everyday. At first I had it programmed to 18 hours on, 6 hours off. Then I had to go to 12 hours on, 12 hours off. I did notice that it was harder for me to rotate the outside ring but did not pay too much attention to it until it locked up. I learned my lesson! Just want to pass that lesson on to you. The plants I grow are worth thousands of dollars and if I can rely on these, I think you could too. Just remember to do some preventive maintenance! Please check to see how easy it is to rotate. Good luck, and I hope this helped?

Nice and small. Works great.

These work great. A little confusing at first but once you understand how to set up they work great. My only complaint it that I bought the box with two and one stopped working after a few days and won’t let me reset the active time. No longer spins

I plugged a neon Halloween light into each of these timers. They worked perfectly. My hands are quite large, but I was still able to manipulate the time buttons easily.Very good product at a great price.

These are great! I️ have a snake so I️ have these timers on lamps turn off and on at the same time everyday so he doesn’t have a sense of season. Super easy to install (I️ am no electrician) & the time accuracy has been on point since I️ bought them.

Every timer I have bought turns things on and off. This one is quieter than the others I have owned. The most important feature is how the times on and off are set. In this case, times on are set by pushing down the corresponding tabs. This method outperforms the alternative of placing hard-to-manipulate individual clips to set on and off times. The only negative is that the dial direction arrow is hard to see in dim light, but this is also true for other timers I have bought.

Ordered this for my outdoor Christmas lights. One is working perfect, no problems. The other is turning off an hour before the timer is scheduled to turn off. I’ve moved the device into a different electrical outlet and it still does it. Disappointing that only 1 of 2 ordered works as intended.

Nice timers! Very quiet!

The Anker Power Strip Surge Protector (12 Outlets + USB) has been a complete game‑changer for my home office setup. With 12 AC outlets, 2 USB‑A ports and 1 USB‑C port, it effortlessly turns a single wall outlet into a full power hub. The 2100 J surge‑protection rating and integrated 8‑point safety system give me peace of mind powering my laptop, NAS, peripherals and more. I love the thoughtful spacing of the outlets — large adapters don’t block neighbors. Clean, reliable, and practical — this strip earns five stars from me!!

Works great, love the plug design and the sizing. have plenty of outlet spacing to fit all plug types. And the usb ports are great for powering my phone without needing the brick.

This is easily one of my new favorite power strips in the house, I absolutely love it. The quality and design are excellent, and for having so many outlets plus the USB ports, it’s still very space-saving. I specifically needed a flat plug for behind a dresser, and this one was perfect, the low-profile plug with an angled cord keeps it from blocking the socket below it as well, and the cord itself feels thick and sturdy for the capacity. The socket layout is also really smart, with one row of straight sockets and two rows of sideways sockets, making it much easier to fit a variety of plugs and adapters without wasting space. The strip itself feels durable without being overly bulky, and I like the small, non-intrusive lights showing the surge and ground protection. The addition of two USB-A ports and a USB-C port, all with fast charging, is a big plus since it saves me from needing extra adapters. All in all, this is another great product from Anker, well-designed, works perfectly, practical, and exactly what I was looking for (and more) at a great price. Definitely recommended!

Really solid power strip. I’m a big fan of the Belkin 12 port power strips but I thought I’d try this with the extra USB ports and it doesn’t disappoint. Working very well without issue so far and it’s always nice to have extra USB ports with two type A and one type C. Good solid main switch on top that doesn’t accidentally trip. Good layout too with 4 outlets down the center and 4 on each side as well. Highly recommend.

The flat wall plug is a great feature, it doesn’t stick out, which makes it look clean and stylish. It’s very easy to set up, and the power capacity and protection features are perfect for what I needed.I use it to connect my computer, monitor, speakers, and other accessories, and it handles everything perfectly.

I have one 10ft strip and two 5ft strips, and plan to buy more as extra funds allow. This strip more or less solved every problem I had with my outlet situation:-Long cables for positioning where I need it most-Spaced outlets for any kind of wall wart-Surge protection-USB outlets for an added phone charging cherry on top-Ease of hanging on a wallMy only complaints are:-It’s a little light for its size and it slides around easily-As with a lot of USB chargers these days, I wish they wouldn’t lower the wattage if you use multiple USB ports. If all else is equal, I will always choose the product that doesn’t split power between USB ports because that just makes sense to me.Overall love these power strips and haven’t been disappointed with any of the many, many Anker products I own! Planning to get a few more of these at some point.

Bought this for my CRT cart and it works great. I have an old Panasonic CRT TV and multiple consoles hooked up to this and I have no issues to report thus far. The added USB slots are nice, and Anker has always been a premier brand when it comes to this kind of things (outside of power banks). Cord is nice and long and the quality is high per the norm.

Accommodates both electrical and USB port outlet connections. Great design with a flat wall plug. So far it lives up to the Anker quality! Great product.
