75% were satisfied with durability, however 25% weren't
This smart plug device has been 100% reliable for me for over two years now and I have never experienced a single glitch.
After using it for a couple of years, the product has been rock solid.
Both units were operating on 15amp circuits, which is well within capacity. However, I experienced failures with one unit after a day and the second unit after two weeks of use.
The cover is not sealed, allowing moisture to corrode the components and causing failure over time.
72% were impressed with the compatibility
The product is compatible with my wifi router, which has a two-band or 3-band connection. I had to check my actual internet settings through the Verizon app to make sure I had the 2.4ghz, though I think most providers should.
