Okay, so I grabbed this 4-pack of Amysen smart plugs because, well, who doesn’t want to yell at Alexa to turn things on/off like a lazy wizard? Here’s the real tea:

The Good: Setup was kinda… weird? Like, zero instructions (thanks, Amysen), but after some trial-and-error muttering "Alexa, discover devices," they finally connected. Once working? Magic. Voice control works (mostly), and grouping devices in the Alexa app avoids those annoying "device unresponsive" lies Alexa tells.

The Bad: One plug in the pack REFUSED to cooperate—like that one friend who ghosts group plans. Also, non-Amazon plugs make Alexa passive-aggressive ("Lamp’s on… but I’m judging you"). Bluetooth mesh is cool… if you enjoy tech jargon over Wi-Fi simplicity.

Final Verdict: For the price? Solid. Just brace for setup chaos and Alexa’s sass. 3.5/5 stars—would bargain-buy again.
