What kind of appliances can be powered on by a Kasa Smart plug?

Any appliance that is within the plug’s tolerances. We recommend checking a products datasheet or specifications page to see what its individual tolerances are.

*Note: Remember that when a device is powered on there is often a spike. We do not recommend using any appliance that is at the maximum tolerance levels as this spike can potentially damage the product or be a safety hazard. For example Space Heaters often spike above their operating specs when powered on. These devices would not be recommended.
