Amazon is offering the APC Smart Surge Protector for $25 shipped. That’s 29% off the typical rate there and comes within a penny of of the lowest price we have tracked. This affordable surge protector turns up the heat on its competition by wielding a total of five smart plugs. Three of these also happen to be surge protected. A couple of smart USB charger ports (2.4A shared power) reduce the need for added power bricks. Each smart outlet can be controlled using Alexa, making it a slam dunk for anyone living in the Amazon ecosystem like I do. Rated 4.4/5 stars.
While the deal above shouldn’t be overlooked, you could opt for GE’s 6-Outlet Surge Protector at $14 to spend a bit less. None of its outlets are smart, but it does boast a more extensive reach with its 10-foot power cord. A total of six outlets can be found on this power strip, making it a solid option for a desk, night stand, and the list goes on.
Oh, and for those of you that are on the hunt for a smart home-related gift, be sure to swing by Blair’s list of next-level upgrades.
