Review on Geeni High Speed USB Charger Smart Outlet: 2 Outlets, 2 USB Ports, Alexa & Google Home Compatible, Wi-Fi Enabled, No Hub Required - White by Nick Kussmaul

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great option, with just a couple of caveats

Installing the outlet is hardest partWhile not necessarily the fault of the outlet, I think it is important to know before you buy as I was unable to use it where I had originally intended - my 1950s boxes & wiring standards, combined with the substantial girth of the outlet and its push-in terminals did make it a bit tricky to get seated properly. If you have an older home, I would suggest surveying your existing outlet(s) before ordering.Once installed, setup and operation are about as easy as can be. The outlet shows up in Alexa as 4 devices - the entire outlet, the top plug, the bottom plug, and the USBs. I like having the option to control each bit independently.

Pros
  • Outlets & Accessories
Cons
  • Requires a smartphone or tablet with the Geeni app to set up and control
