"Maria Diaz/ZDNET As a smart home reviewer, I have a healthy variety of smart plugs and smart outlets in my home. As you might expect, there's also a variety of smart lights and smart light strips. But the Kasa Smart Plug Ultra Mini is the one smart plug I can't rave about enough. It's one of the most reliable ones I've ever tested, both in connectivity and voice control integrations. Plus, the two packs are 35% off, ."
"The Ultra Mini smart plug is so small it's almost adorable. As a result, it doesn't take up as much real estate on your outlet as other smart plugs do -- like, for example, the larger . It's so compact that you can easily plug in other devices right next to it, as it won't block adjacent outlets. It's also easy to set up, especially if you use Amazon Alexa at home. It utilizes Alexa's "Frustration-Free Setup," which enables the smart home assistant to automatically add compatible devices detected on your home network when they're switched on."
"You can set up the Kasa Smart Plug Ultra Mini in the Kasa mobile app, but I used the Tapo app, another smart home division by TP-Link, without issues. Then, Alexa found it and automatically added it to the Amazon Alexa devices at home. I then renamed it "Christmas tree" and plugged in my traditional, dumb tree lights; now, I can ask Alexa to turn it on or off whenever I want."
The Kasa Smart Plug Ultra Mini combines compact physical design with reliable connectivity and robust voice-control integration. The plug's minimal footprint preserves adjacent outlet usability and avoids the bulk of larger smart plugs. Setup is possible through the Kasa mobile app or the Tapo app and integrates with Amazon Alexa via Frustration-Free Setup, which automatically adds compatible devices on the home network. The device works reliably with both smart lighting setups and traditional 'dumb' appliances, allowing renaming and voice commands for convenient control. Two-pack pricing has been listed with a 35% discount.
