Are you using any smart plugs at home, how has the experience been

I honestly never bothered with blocking cloud access, so I can't comment. I should try blocking internet access for the device at the router level. The model I have is Zebronics ZEB-SP110 10A smart plug.

If you do that then you won't be able to remotely control the switch.
In my case the switch (only, not plug) controlled the water pump.
I was able to run it periodically when away from the house for a week. Worked great.
I could have been anywhere in the world and it would still work.
A workaround would be if they added the plug to HA/nodered and accessed that remotely. Cloud access for the plug is not required then.
you can use tailscale with home assistant but yes, you won't get access to it via the official app.
for me, privacy is the foremost concern, and I luckily know enough about how to self host on my own that it's a trivial issue for me

Just wanted to share this deal with you guys, Ambrane 10A smart wifi plug is available for 299/- on blinkit. It's sadly unavailable in Bangalore, but Delhi folks should be able to grab it.

I called Wipro customer care. They asked me to send an email to "feedback.wcc@wipro.com" with product's details like name, date of purchase, invoice, etc. It took 2 months and a couple of reminders but I got a replacement.
They had picked up the defective smartplug before sending a new one.

Been using a Portronics 16A plug. Haven't faced any major issues so far.
Working perfectly with Hey Google.
It shows a bunch of metrics in the portronics app.
You can schedule turn on and turn off times in the app which is super useful.
I think pretty much all of these plugs have the same feature set. The only thing that sets them apart is the app and support quality.

Sorry off topic but did you just leak your address in that screenshot?
I have been using Tapo TP-Link P110 Mini 16A from past 1 year to monitor our AC power consumption, pretty good so far. Tp-link app is also very good.
That wasn't my address, just a generic one blinkit used by default when I opened the deal page. It's not even the correct citySorry off topic but did you just leak your address in that screenshot?

using the amazon smart plug and it is great....'simple' as its not too smart apart from the basic on/off and timers (alexa) but very proficient and efficient in doing that
I am in bangalore and though my society has power backup the power goes of for 30 secs or so before the generator kicks in...
the earlier smart plug and bulbs I had didnt work properly after multiple switches off-on however, the amazon plug works without any issues once set up
I have echo too and this simple smart plug works well with alexa too
