I don’t remember exactly why I bought my first Kasa smart plug. But I do know this: I don’t want to remember life without one. Or 10. They’re so good. So helpful. So useful, that now I have 10. And today, with the 4-pack at 20% off, you could start stocking up, too.
Why did I go from zero Kasa plugs to 10, and why should you? It’s an easy-to-install, tiny but incredibly effective home tech gadget that upgrades every outlet in your home into one you can control by app or voice assistant. No rewiring the house or hiring of an electrician is needed. This automation might sound complicated or technically intimidating, but I promise, you don’t need to be tech-savvy to set it up.
Since the first time we’ve covered the plugs, they’ve taken off — earning the coveted HuffPicks seal in our ranking of the top 10 tech purchases for HuffPost shopping readers. So, every time we spot them on sale, we’ve got to let you know.
Set up is easier than you could dream possible — plug it in, press a button to connect it to Wi-Fi, add it to the phone app and live your smart-plug-full life.
Why does this matter? I’m glad you asked. Now, I can adjust my houseplants grow lights if I’m halfway around the world. I can leave an appliance running and turn it off while running errands. I can use my smart plugs to make it appear someone is always home or schedule them around my work and travel schedules.
I’ve set a bedroom air purifier to turn on an hour before bedtime and off in the morning, right as my living room air purifier is scheduled to turn on. Doing this with a coffee maker is an absolute no-brainer. And in the summer, having more control over your AC or fans, now that’s living life right.
Beyond automation and energy savings, I can use these plugs to turn on lamps without having to strain or reach behind my couch. For old homes or spots with hard-to-reach outlets, they are an absolute game-changer, letting you enjoy all your appliances without 100 extension cords.
Once you install the plugs, they are the definition of a “one and done” home upgrade you’ll enjoy for ages. In the years (plural) I’ve been using these every day, I’ve never had an issue with dropped connections or an inability to find Wi-Fi. The Kasa app is straightforward, and if you prefer, you can simply use Alexa or Google Home instead to control your outlets via voice.
One thing I love most about the Kasa mini smart plugs is the size. At 2.4 inches long and 1.5 inches high, they’re small enough to leave the other socket of the outlet free without covering it up or making it impossible to plug something else in.
If you’re ready to make your home a little smarter and a lot easier, grab a set of Kasa plugs while they’re on sale.

Hear from other happy Kasa smart plug users before grabbing your own 4-pack.
“I might have a problem: I have 30 of these things powering various lamps, speakers, and neon lights scattered throughout my home. They integrated seamlessly with my Alexa devices, so all o have to do is tell Alexa to turn on X device and—presto! No getting up. No searching for switches. No reaching awkwardly behind furniture. All my guests are super impressed and I feel like I’m living in a promised future of convenience. Get the four packs to save $$.” — Phil Lander
“I’ve used so many different smart plugs over the years. Most I got rid of because I didn’t like having so many different apps for things that didn’t work with smartlife. The Kasa app was one I didn’t mind having, since I rarely use the app, and everything is voice controlled via Alexa. Easy to set up, and probably the most reliable ones I’ve found. And I like that they persist the state they were in if you lose power. Some, if you lose power while they’re on, when power is restored will stay off. Not these.” — LegoDude
“A friend of mine sent me here to get these. I had not heard of them, but they sounded like a great idea. It is nice to come home to lights after we’ve been out of the house. It’s also comforting to know that the lights will be one while I’m away so it appears as if somebody is at home. Even when the lights are on a schedule I’ve set, I can turn them on and off if I need to with my phone in my hand. They are very easy to set up on the app.” — Karoleigh
“I live in an over 100 year old home. Not all electrical was updated so I use these for lamps since I don’t have enough light switches. I have everything connected to Alexa. So I have several orders of these. They turn on/off my living room TV, bedroom TV, both master bedroom lamps, laundry lamp, floor lamp in living room, table lamp in living room, and office light. I also have for my Christmas Tree every year. I will never not have these. It’s so much easier to tell Alexa to do it than doing it yourself. I’ve been having them for years now and none of them ever died on me. I never have issues with them not being connected. They are super easy to set up. They’re a bit thick, so just make sure wherever you’re plugging it in, it will have space (like behind furniture). It’s easy, you won’t regret these. Excuse all the plugs in my photo! This one is to my bedroom lamps on each side of the bed.” — Erika Levet
