Super useful and easy to set up
I purchase a different brand that was recommended by a review site and after 30 minutes gave up. These plugs on the other hand were connected and working in about 30 seconds. Could not have been easier. Great features. Works with Alexa. Super happy.

Good value and easy to use
Been using them for over a year and very happy with them. I found the app easy to set up and use. Getting another 4 for the house, the first 4 I put to use in the workshop. It’s great to be able to operate all the work lamps all at once. Only downside I’ve encountered is that when power flickers they switch off and have to be turned back on; easy to live with. I highly recommend them.

Would not connect, despite trying all methods
Before you read my review, I’d like to make it known that I own four Treatlife smart bulbs and three Treatlife 2-in-1 smart plugs, and they all work perfectly. They were all super easy to set up as well as have consistently and reliably worked to date, so I am a fan of this company and their products overall.Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for their smart plug mini.I purchased a 2-pack of the Treatlife Smart Plug Mini and could not connect them to my network despite trying every possible method. Spent over an hour trying to make it work. My other Treatlife products were recognized instantly in their app without me needing to do anything special. Not the mini plugs though.My router is a dual 5 GHz / 2.4 GHz, which has never caused an issue when connecting all of my other smart devices that use 2.4 GHz. An article for this Treatlife product suggested that I needed to split my network and create one specifically for broadcasting 2.4 GHz. I did just that and still was unable to pair the smart plug minis.Perhaps I received bad units or maybe the firmware for these is not the best. Either way, this was not a great experience.

Easy to pair!
I paired all four smart plugs quickly and easily to the Smart Life app, which I linked to Alexa. So I can control them with the app or Alexa. I highly recommend these plugs. I got them for our Christmas trees and lights in different rooms. No more worrying about forgetting to turn them off.

Great product!
This was a splurge for me this past Christmas – Yeah, I know, $25 isn’t that much of a splurge! But honestly, I didn’t know if it was going to be worth it! But after reading a bunch of reviews on a bunch of different brands of wi-fi plugs, I decided to go with Treatlife. I don’t use, or intend to ever purchase or use, any smart speakers to connect with these plugs, although I considered purchasing ones that worked with Apple Homelink, but they were always more expensive. I bought this 4-pack in time to put one on the Christmas tree, and a couple other lamps around the house.The app was easy to use to get started, and it didn’t take too long to figure out how to set up rooms and “scenes”, with multiple plugs coming on simultaneously.The best part is that with Apple Shortcuts, I can say “Hey Siri, turn my light on!” And bam! It’s on! That’s really handy if you use Hey Siri.Also a factor was the fact that these are 15 amp plugs. I use one of them to power my home studio! (Just a small mixer and two self-powered studio monitors.) Instead of reaching around to find the switch for all three units, I tap my phone or tell Siri to power it up.(One application I recently thought of that will most likely motivate my purchase of another set of these is charging smart devices. I hate the thought of leaving our iPad charging all night, as I know this is bad for the longevity of the battery. So using one of these with a timer set for 3-4 hours would allow me to set it to charge at bed time, and know that it won’t over charge the battery for the last 4 or so hours I’m asleep.)I highly recommend these if you are looking for a simple product to replace lamp timers, control small electronic devices, etc. They totally exceeded my expectations!

All cloud based, no internet, no work
So functionally,. These smart plugs do everything advertised. They have the 15 amp relay , they have timers, they can be in groups, they have an app, and they can connect to google and alexa.But everything is cloud based. When you install the treatlife app, you gotta create a cloud account. No cloud account, noise having them. Once created, you gotta create a home, family, and then rooms. Pairing the device is simple, push the botton, and the app uses bluetooth to find the new device and then you tell it what your wifi password is via the app and it registers to the cloud.All the timer events are in the cloud. In fact, to turn it on, the app contacts the cloud and the device turns on/ in about 5 seconds after the button press.There doesn’t seem to be an internal clock for the timer events. So if your internet is down, your timer features are gone. This is why I don’t like the cloud only features. We have to assume that treatlife could be gone in a year rendering these smart outlets useless. These outlets look like many other OEM smart plugs. From experience I have also learned that these devices which need a cloud account are disposable in a year, when the cloud policies changes . And do you really want a server in china having control over your appliances.The alexa and google features basically use the local home controller to connect to their cloud to control local devices.I’ll keep them, but I am still looking for locally controlled outlets with a timer. These aren’t them. But they do work, for now.

I ordered this 4 pack since I wanted to replace a few timer plugs for lights (Christmas tree, deck lights etc). After downloading the Treatlife app on my iphone, I initially could not connect to the device. It turns out my phone had to be on the 2.4ghz wifi to setup the plug instead of 5ghz (which the app indicated). Once this was switched the app detected the plug and setup was simple and intuitive. There is a lot of customization in the app. Basic timed on/off functionality was all I needed for the lights but I setup my espresso machine to turn itself off after 1 hour of use (inching). I liked the app so much that I ended up buying a Treatlife smart switch (single pole) for my front door lights. The devices can be controlled remotely (when you’re away) which is a nice feature. The software seems pretty stable in the plugs but every so often (once a month) I need to unplug and replug to reset connectivity. Overall I’m impressed.

These were simple to setup and use and worked great until I had a power outage. When this happened, one of the plugs started turning off by itself constantly. I messaged Treatlife and they were extremely quick to respond and immediately sent me 2 replacement plugs. Great product, great company.

It took a few tries before I got the Treatlife app paired with the plug. Make sure WiFi is set to 2.4GHz and your Bluetooth is switched on when setting up with your cell phone. After a few tries, I figured it out and paired it with my Amazon Echo as well. Seems to work very reliably with Alexa voice as well as switching it on and off using the Alexa or Treatlife apps. You don’t actually need anything except the cell phone and app to remotely switch the plug. After it was paired I switched my phone’s WiFi back to 5GHz and it still worked fine. It’s nice that you can change the name to anything you want so right now I have 3 of them set up – Plug 1, Plug 2, and Plug 3. Easy to remember.FYI – Plug 1 is the Amazon brand and setting it up was INSTANTANEOUS! I just basically plugged it in and Alexa found it and it started working. No setup required. Very slick. I got it on Prime Day at a great price but was limited to one unit so I bought the other ones as well. Except for a little more work setting them up, they seem to work just as well and have a great 1800W capacity. They are nicely made and leaves the second plug easily accessible.Highly recommended especially at the price with free shipping.****UPDATE*****It’s now several weeks later and I have all 4 plugs activated and working well. In the Alexa App you can set them up in different rooms and activate a number of them with one simple command – E.g. I have 2 plugs in my living room; one for my TV bias lighting and one for my sub. I just say “Alexa turn on living room” and the light turns on along with my sub. GREAT!***Another update****So, after 4 months, one of the plugs no longer works. If I unplug and plug it back in a few minutes later, it will work a few times and then stop. I’ve tried different outlets and the problem remains. It IS connected. The little white light goes off and on indicating that it’s switching but there is no little clicking sound and the attached light remains off. When I try a different plug it works fine. I don’t know what warranty there is on these things but it’s only 4 months old and only gets switched off and one maybe once or twice a day.It’s now a few months later and the defective unit is now working fine. I was not able to get anywhere with warranty but for only 10 bucks I wasn’t too concerned. What was wrong with my unit was a sticky relay (you can hear it clicking when it’s working). After manually pushing the little button on the side and occasionally removing the unit and tapping it on the counter, it seems to have loosened up and is no longer sticking! It has worked fine for about two months now and I am again quite happy with it.

I purchased an Amazon smart plug at the same time as my Echo Dot. I used the smart plug to control my bedside lamp and fell in love with it. I wanted to get more but the Amazon smart plugs are pretty pricey. I was happy to find a 4 pack of these for the same price I would pay for 1 amazon smart plug. I was worried about the quality but I find they work just as well. They were easy to set up through the Treatlife app but I did struggle a bit with linking them to Alexa. The instructions provided said to search for the smart life skill through the Alexa app but I was able to get it working after searching for “Treatlife” in “Skills and Games”, enabling it and signing in with my Treatlife login. I am using both the 4 pack of the Treatlife plugs and my Amazon plug through Alexa now without issues.

Firstly, I spent almost two hours just to configure these plugs for my hall light lamps which was too frustrating because I have a latest ignite wifi which automatically controls 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency but thankfully from the “ignite WiFi” app I was able to separate those into two respectively.After that, I started following the steps from the instruction guide which navigated me to the “TreatLife App” which was automatically shutting off the plug while pairing, that means it was application issue because I tried all of three pairing methods to add a plug. After spending some time checking videos of configuring these plugs, I found third party application “Smart Life” which was working fantastic. It was very quick to pair these plugs using this application by simply holding the button of plug till 5 second to wait for light to blink rapidly and then from Smart Life app select “Socket(Wifi)”, then select the plug(s) and you’re done in few minutes.Google/Alexa Connectivity:After Configuring plugs in Smart Life App, you can simply click on the plug(on Home page) so it will redirect you to power on/off page and there you can find out the small pencil icon on top right corner which has option to integrate the selected plug with google/alexa.Lastly, all plugs(or any other smart home device) are same but the Quality of application functionality defines how much user-friendly it is and in terms of these plugs, third party app is better the actual “TreatLife” for configuration. So if anyone don’t want this headache then go for any other good brand.UPDATE:- Only after a week usage, one plug is dead. It is behaving like turning signal, turns on and off (like blinking light) automatically, so poor mechanism. I don’t recommend these plugs.
