Amazon Smart Plugs Hit 52% Off in Early Black Friday Sale

Canadian shoppers looking for a simple and affordable way to enter the smart home era are in for a treat. As part of its massive early Black Friday sale, Amazon has slashed the price of its popular Amazon Smart Plugs by up to 52%, making it the perfect time to automate your living space.

Effortless Setup and Everyday Convenience

Transforming a standard outlet into a smart one is remarkably straightforward with these devices. The process is so simple that many reviewers label it a no-brainer. You just plug the device into your wall outlet, open the Alexa app on your smartphone, and it automatically pairs with your Wi-Fi network.

Once connected, you can plug in any device you wish to control, such as a lamp, coffee maker, or fan. From there, you gain the power to manage your electronics through scheduled routines, simple taps on your phone, or even voice commands via Alexa. This eliminates the need to manually turn devices on and off and can lead to significant energy savings.

Unexpected Benefits and Real-World Uses

Beyond basic automation, these smart plugs offer a range of surprising advantages that enhance both convenience and security.

Former HuffPost Shopping writer Janie Campbell shared how the plugs have saved her energy, money, and time. I can leave an appliance running and turn it off while running errands, she explained. She also uses them for safety, automating lights to make it appear someone is home, and for comfort, scheduling an air purifier to turn on before bedtime. For hard-to-reach outlets behind furniture, she calls them an absolute game-changer.

With the holiday season approaching, these plugs are perfect for Christmas trees and decorative lighting. Tired of crawling under the tree to unplug lights? Many users successfully automate their holiday displays, with one reviewer pairing a plug with an Amazon Echo Dot to simply say, Alexa, turn on Christmas tree, for a truly hands-free experience.

What Reviewers Are Saying

The overwhelmingly positive reviews highlight the product's reliability and ease of use compared to cheaper alternatives.

Brian praised the straightforward setup, which took less than a minute. He uses his plug to control a window AC unit with a voice command from bed, noting the connection remains strong even with Wi-Fi dips.

Brandon Goldsmith shared his frustration with generic smart plugs that failed after his internet provider merged Wi-Fi bands. I finally gave up and bought these Amazon plugs. Best decision ever! he said, emphasizing that the seamless integration with the Alexa app was worth the slightly higher price for the reliability.

Paula found peace of mind, using the plug for her hair straightener. Total game changer, she wrote. Instead of panicking about whether she turned it off, she can now check and control it from her app or set a daily timer for it to turn off automatically.
