WeMo Mini Smart Plug
Score: 75/100Rankings
The TP-Link Kasa HS105 is a compact, hub-free smart plug that offers reliable on/off control, scheduling and voice integration for up to 1800 W. It lacks energy monitoring and 5 GHz Wi-Fi support, and does not work with Apple HomeKit. Best suited for budget-conscious users who need basic control without extra features.
The Belkin WeMo Mini is a hub-free Wi-Fi smart plug with a tiny stackable form factor and solid voice-assistant support. Its 2.4 GHz-only Wi-Fi and lack of energy monitoring limit advanced use cases. Best for beginners who need simple indoor control and appreciate a long warranty.

Professional reviewers consider the HS105 a solid entry-level smart plug, emphasizing its space-saving form factor, easy installation, and dependable voice integration, while noting that power-monitoring enthusiasts will need to look at the HS110 or EP25 for those capabilities.
Customers generally express satisfaction with the plug's reliability, straightforward setup, and compactness, but many wish it included energy monitoring and broader Wi-Fi compatibility.
“peace of mind for vacations”
“low idle power (0.7-0.8W)”
Professional reviewers commend the WeMo Mini for its ultra-compact, stackable design and robust multi-assistant support, noting its low standby power and three-year warranty as differentiators. However, they also caution that the device's 2.4 GHz-only Wi-Fi and lack of energy monitoring place it behind some competitors for power-savvy users.
Everyday users generally praise the plug's ease of setup, reliable voice control, and the convenience of Away Mode for security while away. Recurring complaints focus on Wi-Fi reliability issues on guest or enterprise networks, occasional app lag, and the plug's unsuitability for high-draw appliances.
