10 reviewers weighted by source trust
The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the Proctor Silex 48351PS occupies a specific and useful niche: it's a sub-$35 drip maker that the manufacturer explicitly markets — and r/BuyItForLife commenters confirm — works correctly with Alexa-, Google Home-, and Siri-compatible smart plugs. It's the cheapest legitimate path to a voice-controlled morning brew in this pool. Verified-purchase reviewers at Amazon, Walmart, and Home Depot describe it as a no-frills, reliable workhorse.
What reviewers liked
- Manufacturer-confirmed and r/BuyItForLife-confirmed compatibility with Alexa, Google Home, and Siri smart plugs
- Strong Amazon sample at 4.2 stars across 3,055 reviews
- Sub-$35 price makes the smart-plug route extremely cheap to assemble
- r/BuyItForLife commenters cite multi-year durability
Where it falls short
- No high-trust expert review in the supplied signals to corroborate brew quality
- Smart-plug control is limited to on/off — no app, no scheduling beyond the plug's own features
- Basic glass carafe with a hot plate, which can scorch coffee over time
- No SCA certification and no temperature control

There are no high-trust expert reviews in the supplied signals, so the verdict here rests primarily on retailer-customer consensus and community discussion rather than independent lab testing. r/BuyItForLife threads consistently mention the brand's longevity — one commenter reports buying basic Proctor Silex models repeatedly because each lasts two to three years — and one thread explicitly highlights the smart-plug pairing as a clever, cheap automation hack. The borosilicate glass carafe, Auto Pause & Pour, and 10-cup capacity round out the practical feature set.
Do not expect SCA-certified brew quality or app control. Expect a basic, durable drip maker that turns into a 'smart' coffee maker the moment you add a $15 smart plug.
- Simple to use. Just add coffee and water to the drip coffee maker, and brew with the push of one button to make up to 10 cups of great-tasting, hot coffee at home.
- Durable and easy to clean. The 10 cup coffee maker has a durable, borosilicate glass carafe and Lift & Clean brew basket that are both dishwasher safe.
- Get your first cup fast. With Auto Pause & Pour, the flow of coffee stops when you lift the carafe to pour a cup of coffee mid-brew. Simply replace the carafe to continue brewing.
- Easily see when the coffee machine is on. The on/off indicator light on the switch illuminates when the coffee maker is turned on to remind you to shut it off.
- Smart plug compatible. Plug into any Smart plug compatible with Alexa, Google Home or Siri to voice control or add to your routines; Smart plug sold separately.

The smart plug setup is genius honestly. Never thought about that but makes total sense for morning coffee. I've been researching coffee makers ...
