Review of Eufy Smart Plug

so actually the non-mini has better clearance below? So really if you only need 1 then the non-mini on the upper socket works fine.

So the mini makes sense when there’s 2 of them so sell as a 2-pack.

Correction: The MINI is a couple mm lower, not the regular. Sorry, I misread.

Recently got to test out the Smart Plug Mini. Didn’t really know the difference between non mini and mini. Probably the shape of it which makes a big difference when placing it on surge protectors. Although the mini is a bit slimmer, it’s still a bit hard to place another plug right under or on top of it. Unless you have a surge protector that is a bit more spaced out than mine, you can’t utilize all the outlets.

I placed the mini closest to the surge protector switch and had to leave the outlet under it unused.

Here’s my impression and review of the mini:

I was always interested in Smart Plugs but was intimated by the hub systems. I’m so glad that Eufy makes it easy to get their smart plug mini set up and in return making my life that much more simple.

You download the Eufy Home app and create an account if you haven’t already. It holds your hand through the process of connecting your smart plug mini to the wifi and was quick to get it running. Love how you can create a schedule, set a timer and see how much power you’re using.

I love the timer part of it. I use it for a desk lamp in my bedroom. I’m usually already in bed when the lamp is still on and love that I can say Hey Google turn my lamp off while laying in bed.

Although the box advertises Amazon Alexa, it connected easily through the Google Home app to utilize Google Assistant.

Very similar to the non mini.

Thanks for sharing your experience! We will keep improving the product quality.:grin:

Nice review, thanks. It seems like it’s pretty much exactly the same as all other smart plugs on the market, though. Can you post a picture of the plug in the outlet? The smart plugs I have block the second outlet, which is annoying. These claim to be compact enough that they don’t do that so I’d like to see them IRL. Also, would be nice if these come in multi-packs, like a set of 2, 4 or 6, at a discount. For the same price as one of these, there are cheaper plugs on the market that come in packs of 2 that costs the same as one of these.

For what I use my two SmartPlugs for, its not an issue.

Why this one over others?

  • customer support. I have two of these and this is 100% down to an excellent experience with Eufy in ordering and support. The item is now only about $18 so the issue is not my $ out my pocket but my time and effort
  • I have these now for 2 months, they still are working flawlessly.

If you prefer the Mini for plug placement, there is now the mini version.

Thanks, but can you provide more detail, like what website you see that on?

That would be Amazon, only buy Anker products from authorized sellers such as AnkerDirect on Amazon or via anker.com

Whatever site that is, is definitely not Amazon; both because of the UI, and because of the price (it’s $22.99 on Amazon). Also, I’m sure they have more authorized sellers than just Amazon and their own site.

That’s the recent email sale, your have to enter the promo code at checkout to get the lower orice.
And while yes they do have other authorized sellers, I said those two mainly for simplicity if you have to return something or have problems

Ok, I’m gonna try one last time. Honestly, I’m not sure why this is so complicated. All I want to know is the URL of a place where I can buy these plugs for $18. Someone posted a pic with no URL or store name. You’ve replied twice, also without mentioning a URL or store name. What is this mysterious site where I can enter some promo code at checkout?? It’s not Amazon, it’s not anker.com, it’s not eufylife.com (which just has a link to Amazon), so what is it?

I’m not sure where the disconnect is in what I mentioned, but I will try again. The picture @joshuad11 posted is from the recent email sent out for sales.see here

The code at the bottom is what you have to enter when you add the item to your cart and checkout on Amazon.com
That’s it, the website as I have stated is Amazon

It’s really simple.

Thanks @elmo41683 for going out of your way to try to explain.

Link to item

Add to cart, checkout. Apply the discount code plug7892 as you see in the screenshot of above posts.

Then price becomes $17.99 plus any applicable taxes, e.g. in my state it adds about 9%

Interesting item, I assume you would need something like Alexia or Echo to use these?

No. I just use the Eufy app. That’s good enough for me.
