3rd Time is a Charmer
Greater than one weekI needed a set up, that in the long run would be able to turn on and off my external hard drives, and a table lamp that sits behind my desk. I have several other TP-Link Kasa smart products, so that was one less app to have. I have never had a problem with integration or functionality with Kasa products. I ended up using one of the plugs for my wifes work laptop, but as you can see, there is quite a bit of space between each outlet. That provides more flexibility on what you want to plug in. Pros: - Adequately spaced outlets for potential larger plugs - If you have multi devices to plug in that you want smart access to, this is better than buying a normal power strip or surge protector and then buying additional smart plugs to plug into them (ie. buy a 6 outlet strip, only to have 3 individual smart plugs taking up all 6 spots on the strip) Cons: - Nice flat 90° plug for tight places, but I wish the cord itself was longer than ~36 inches. I ended up 3m velco taping it underneath the desk to keep it out of sight. - Price is a little on the high side. You could save a few dollars going the route I mentioned earlier (strip and individual smart plugs), but this is still more aesthetically pleasing, thus justifiable.

> 3 dayRecieved a Flex TV box from Comcast that requires to be plugged into an outlet. I dont like my streaming sticks/boxes to ALWAYS be on, and for whatever reason, whenever the power goes out, my TV turns and stays on when power is restored. Ive come home and woken up at night with my TV on after power blips. Enter this smart power strip that I can use with Ok Google and even program off times. Im able to turn my TV on with my voice and have programmed the strip to cut power at 1:00am every night so if I fall asleep while the TV is on it automatically cuts off. Plus, my TV stays off when the power blips, my Flex streaming box only has power when I want it to, and it lowers my vampire power usage!

> 3 dayA while back I switched all of our miscellaneous smart home switches, bulbs, and plugs to Kasa and have always been very happy with the ease of setup and product quality. We bought this power strip for my wifes sewing/crafting room to plug in some of her crafting tools. Setup was simple as it is with all Kasa products, and once the power strip was added in the app, each plug showed up as an individually controllable device. They immediately showed up in our Alexa configuration (running the Kasa skill) and she was up and running. The power strip is well made, with a nice length of cord and easy to see lights for each plug so its immediately apparent which is on or off. This lets her know if the iron, glue gun, or other plug is on or off at a glance. Having a couple of USB charging ports close at hand is a nice addition, even if these ports are not smart controlled. We highly recommended this device as well as the other Kasa plugs, switches, and bulbs!

Greater than one weekI like this product. I would love it if all the features worked. I have scheduled several timers for on and off at specific times and they dont work at all. The only scheduled timer that I have found that works is the sunset timer. I have a lamp plugged in and it automatically turns my light on at sunset. I love that--I never have to walk into a dark house. I like being able to turn the light on and off from a different room, as I can automatically turn the plugged in device on/off using the app. I was thinking of buying another one to turn my TV off and on at a scheduled time but I wont since the schedule function isnt working.

> 3 dayI purchased a similar Wi-Fi power strip from Walmart & it connected next to my router, but when I took it in the next room, it would not connect to the Wi-Fi. So I took it back to the store. & I found this one on Amazon & it was super easy to set it up & download the app. I like that it has a timer option or a manual option to turn it on or off. So far it’s great! And it worked perfectly for what I needed it for.

> 3 dayI have several Kasa items, but this is one of my favorite. The ease to control the power to multiple items in one power strip. I use one to turn off the power to the stereo, helps to reduce the risk of damage during a storm.

> 3 dayThe Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip KP303, Surge Protector with 3 Individually Controlled Smart Outlets is a blessing, of which I really enjoy. The fact that I can turn devices On or Off with a voice command is amazing. The idea of having forgotten to turn a device off, that I can access over a cellular signal bring a such a peace of mind. I highly recommend the Kasa Line of smart devices. I have them in every room in my home, I never have to worry about having forgotten to turn something off.

> 3 dayFirst, I want to note that I love the Kasa smart home products. I use many of them to make my daily life a bit similer. They are always easy to set up, integrate well with my Amazon Alexa, and match my white minimal aesthetic. Therefore, I have a brand bias, and when I saw the small smart powerstrip, I knew I needed it to match my larger powerstrip from the same company. The power strip does all it says and has been a great smart home feature. It is the perfect way for me to make sure my flat iron is turned off after I leave the house, by utilizing their app. Or have Alexa turn on my aromatherapy wax warmer when I am already laying in bed relaxing. On the other hand, it is a little bit expensive compared to other options in the category. It is certainly not something anyone needs in their life. But it is a luxury that will make your life just a little bit easier.
