(FWIW I'm leaning towards the Shelly Plus Plug, at around £20. IIRC there's a euro version too. It's the only one I've found that seems not to need cloud servers.)

I have some Shelly switches (not plugs), they are good too, just a bit more expensive and not open-source firmware.
I wouldn't guarantee the electrical safety of any of them, but have run a 2.4 KW heater off an Athom plug, for a short period of time, weeks (As opposed to continuously for 3-4 years for my freezer and fridge)
