Mirabella Genio Wi-Fi Power Plug
Verified2 reviews
Model: l002931 Purchased this wifi plug in December 2021. Set it up with the app, it worked fine. Come 2023, we change WiFi networks. I didn't bother to re-pair the plug to the new network as the button on the unit was easily accessable for what I neeed it to turn on/off. Manually turning it on/off worked fine for me and this was going great until 2025. In 2025 the plug started occasionally just turning itself off. No WiFi conection or user input. It only did this once a month, no big deal, just a minor inconvenience. Now come 2026, today, Jun 12 2026, the plug finally died. Pressing the button does nothing. Unplugging it and pugging back in does nothing. After an impressive 5 years.

Do not waste your money! – I bought a few TP-Link Kasa smart plugs a few years ago. They were pricey at the time, but they worked well and continue to work well to this day. A year or so later, I bought a few el-cheapo smart plugs via AliExpress. Cheap as chips and they continue to work well to this day. Fast-forward another year... About 18 months ago I bought 3 Mirabella Genio smart plugs when Woolies had them for ½ price.
I wish I hadn't!
Out of the 3 brands of plug I have they were *by miles* the flakiest to set up. Had to temporarily kill my 5GHz wifi and even then, they were a pain to setup. But I got there.
But just a month or 2 out of warranty and within a couple of weeks of each other 2 of the 3 died. Kaput. Finished. Money down the drain.
I believe Woolies have stopped selling these (I don't blame them) but if you *do* come across them, for the love of Pete, walk on by.
EDIT SEPTEMBER 2024:
The third of the 3 failed. It's in the bin. What a waste of money these were.
