Worth it and reliable!
These are extremely worth it. I currently have 6 of these now controlling lamps all over the house including 1 fan. I love how you can program it via timer or control it remotely by the SmartLife App. Smaller footprint than other brands allow me to use the other sockets next to it. I've had it for about 2 months now without any problems or any of them disconnecting from the wifi. You can unplug and move them around and it will re-establish connection to your wifi.. you can reset your wifi and they'll still recognize it once it's back on line.. extremely reliable! We also have Alexa all over the house and I can voice command any of them thru alexa without any hitch. I highly recommend this!

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!
I have the double plug, and the 2 individual plugs now. The doubles were really easy to setup and they integrated with my Echo seamlessly. Setting up the two individual plugs was also very easy.... Once I figured out I was too far from my router.I have a fish tank with two banks of lights, and I have a reptile tank with a light. I use these plugs to control the lights and the added benefit is that I can turn them on or off with voice commands through my Echo. Since I already had the double plug, I added the two singles to avoid more apps. Once I had it set up, my Alexa App recognized the plug within a couple minutes and I didn't have to set up anything. Too easy. Next I used the second smart plug to control the accent lights in my kitchen. I did this at 6 am before any coffee. I set it up, and my Alexa app recognized it immediately. So, being smart, I told Alex to Turn off my Kitchen Accent Lights. It went "boing" and turned them off. I think that speaks for itself.

Totally failed
This product totally failed on me. I can turn the plug on and off from Alexa or I can turn the plug on/off with its physical switch. But now whatever is plugged into the smart plug always stays on. Even when the smart plug's power is confirmed to be off, it is still passing electric current to whatever is plugged into it and that stays on. So the plug doesn't do its job.I like this for the small size but I advise you not to use it iy this based on my experience.

so up front I really like this product
Okay, so up front I really like this product. Set up was generally painless, however the instructions are garbage. One of the steps, the first 2 lines of text are covered by a picture, plus the print is very small. That being said, If you are even slightly tech savvy, you can figure it out easily. I would rate it 5 stars, but if someone like... my not tech savvy mom,got this... Hehe, they would HATE the instructions...Once it's setup (took ~5 minutes) its pretty effortless use, via amazon echo, or it's own phone app. Just attach a name to the outlet, and there you go!I'll be ordering more of these soon.

Both plugs worked with couple of minutes of set up, including Alexa
Got these in yesterday and was hesitant to set them up thinking it will take a while. That opinion was purely based on a previous set of wifi smart plugs i had order (and returned) earlier which just didnt work.Anyways, coming back to these 2 plugs.Form Factor - not overly big. In a wall socket with 2 plugs, i could get one of these plugs and another 2 pin cable, but not both of the plugs. They are a little big where you cant have both of them in a standard 2 socket wall outlet. With that said, these are still a pretty compact size compared to a few other smart plugs out there.Set up for remote access via mobile app - Very straightforward. Downloaded the Smart things app from play store which surprisingly has only 3.6 stars, considering it worked very well for me. Created an account on the device, selected the option to set up an electrical device, connected to a 2.4 Ghz wifi access point and that was it. Didnt have to do anything to the plug except plug it in. All of this was done in under minutes. The second plug was set up in under a minute in the app.Set up with Alexa - if you have an Alexa device already and understand the concept of downloading a skill, signing in , etc then this set up is as easy as it gets. Download the Smart things skill, sign in with your smart things account, got to Alexa app menu, select Smart home/add device and in about 20 seconds your plug(s) are set up.Reliability - pretty solid so far! Well i just a day in, but it works flawlessly with the app and Alexa using voice commands.Overall, i am super impressed with the set up and ease of use. Will see how it holds up over time and retains network connectivity. For now, this is a solid buy recommendation, especially at this price pointCheesy disclaimer - i paid full price for these plugs with no discounts from the manufacturer :) Had to throw this in, since i keep hearing about fake reviews floating around

Great product once installed.
Excellent value compared to similar products. I love that it's compact and doesn't block adjacent sockets. It was a bit tricky to get it to initially connect. I had to resort to the "alternate pairing" method. Once connected setting everything else up was easy. Works great with the Smart Life app and Google Assistant. I also can't say enough how much I prefer silent smart adapters compared to the awful nonstop clicking of old school physical dial timers.

Works with Smart Life and Google Home apps ...
I've got 6 of these presently running in my home going on 9 months now. The Smart Life app connects to them without issue. Connected to Smart Life, Google Home automatically adds them. I have a Google Mini, and therefore I then needed the Google Home app. With 2 Merkury Smart light bulbs for $10/ea. at Walmart ... I've got the smartest home on the block!

Smart plugs work very well!
Fairly easy to set up. I have a Echo Dot. You have to download the Smart Life and Alexa app. Works with both apps extremely well. As far as having issues I have not run into any as of yet. I highly recommend it for the price!EDIT: I like these Smart Wi-Fi plugs so much I ordered two more. Well worth the money!
