Let me start by saying how much I love these EIGHTREE smart plugs. They are a game-changer, especially if you've upgraded to a 5GHz WiFi network and struggled with older 2.4GHz plugs. The setup was a breeze—just plug it in, open the Smart Life app, and follow the simple instructions. No headaches, no frustration.

One of the standout features is the energy monitoring capability. I used these plugs to track my space heaters' power consumption, and the detailed graphs in the app were incredibly insightful. It even calculates the cost, helping me make smarter energy decisions. Plus, with a 15A rating, they handle high-power devices like champs—no overheating or burnout issues.

The compatibility with Alexa, Google Home, and SmartThings is seamless. Voice commands work instantly, and the scheduling feature is perfect for automating lights or appliances. I’ve set my lamps to turn on at dusk and off at bedtime—it’s pure convenience.

The design is another win. Unlike round plugs that block adjacent outlets, these are compact and let you use both sockets. Just be mindful if you’re using them on a power strip—they’re built for vertical outlets.

Minor gripe? The price is slightly higher than basic smart plugs, but for 5GHz support, energy monitoring, and rock-solid performance, it’s worth every penny. Customer service (shoutout to Vivian!) is also top-notch.

Bottom line: If you need reliable, feature-packed smart plugs that play nice with modern WiFi networks, these are it. I’m already planning to buy more!
