The best smart plugs in 2025

They’re not complicated, but smart plugs can make life a bit more convenient and, honestly, a little more fun. I like saying “Goodnight” to Alexa and having all the lamps and the holiday lights click off. In the two years or so that I’ve been testing smart plugs, I’ve come across good ones and bad ones. I think TP-Link’s EP25 will work best for most people, but a few others have their advantages. Say, perhaps you need an outdoor plug, one that monitors energy or one with dual outlets. Based on our testing, and many conversations with Siri, the Google Assistant and Alexa, these are our top picks for the best smart plugs you can buy, along with how to get the most out of your plug once you buy it.
