Okay, let’s be real—I didn’t know I needed this until I got it. The Simply Conserve Smart Socket is like having a magic wand for appliances that love to act up. My TV? Wi-Fi issues? Solved. No more crawling behind the entertainment center like a gremlin unplugging things. Just tap my phone, and *poof*—TV reboots itself. Even did it remotely while I was on vacation (yes, I flexed on my wife).

The app is stupid simple, and the 15A rating means it handles my sketchy outdoor tool setup without melting (disclaimer: not waterproof, don’t be dumb). Alexa integration worked after one dramatic ‘discovery’ fail—just download the Conserve app first, folks.

Downsides? Pairing mode requires button-holding (mildly annoying), and one reviewer rage-quit over Alexa compatibility (skill issue?). But for $20? Worth it just to schedule my lamp to turn off so I can pretend I have discipline.
