Better speaker than the Echo Dot.2

I looked forward to the Eufy Genie for our Kitchen with a better speaker to be used standalone

Great small smart speaker

The speaker is louder than the dot as well, but I connected an old set of computer speakers for better sound anyway.

It won't replace a larger, dedicated portable speaker, but it does just fine if you're puttering around the house doing chores

The speaker is MUCH louder than the Echo Dot

Great little smart speaker.

The Genie works well, is easy to use conversationally, has a great mic and speaker, and has been 100% reliable for many weeks

Alexa/Echo capabilities for $30 vs $50Extremely easy setupIncluded AUX cable for external speaker setupAnker-level quality of productConsNo Bluetooth (but can use internet playback)Native Alexa app does not sync with some features (Reminders) but they still work independently95% success rate in my 20 x 20' living room - 100% so far in my 11 x 14' bedroomFYIAudio quality is enough for a smart speaker but shouldn't be used to replace a standalone speaker like an Amazon Echo, Google Home, or UE Boom

This was my first experience with a smart speaker outside of the main brands such as Amazon & Google

I must say i love the speaker good design and runs on alexa which i was familiar with because i also own an echo dot

The first thing that came to me was how loud the speaker was

However, I really enjoy the Genie, as it has a great speaker, which plays music and podcasts from my phone loudly and clearly

At the volume to put a 2 year old to sleep, the speaker sounds very scratchy and tinny

Really thought I was going to love this speaker until certain shortcomings forced me to return it.

The speaker sounds fairly good for its size

The eufy Genie Smart Speaker sound quality is exceptional.

The speaker is better than the Echo Dot speaker, but not much louder

When I have my TV set on, my smart speaker sometimes spontaneously says "sorry, I didn't get that

Still waiting on some of the features to be perfected but if you’re looking for a cheap alexa speaker this will do the trick.

The speaker: ok, not good just ok

The speakers aren't great but good enough for the office.

OVERALL:The speaker and overall functionality is wonderful for the price, which is why I do give it five stars

Yeah the speaker is better than the Dot, but it's still so small that I don't know that I'd consider that a big deal

speaker!There is one downside to this speaker, in that it does not function as a bluetooth speaker

It’s an Echo Dot with a better speaker, and a slightly puffier shape

’s perfect would recommend more than the echo this has a better speaker

the speaker is better than Echo Dot, but not as responsive as echo dot.

This device is a good speaker, and works like an Ecco speaker would

but I just don’t like this speaker.

Worked ok but the speaker was blown and does not provide all the features of the dot

When you turn the volume up to a reasonable level, it has a buzz, almost like a blown speaker

The speaker is pretty decent

After using it for some time, I can conclude that I overall enjoy this speaker

The speaker still isn't much better but Eufy/Anker has some of the best customer service I've ever seen

This eufy Genie Smart Speaker plays very low and doesn't have a dynamic room filling sound that the description said it does

Although it could have used some better bass, this product is not to be primarily used as a portable speaker but does have the option to

Decent Wi-Fi speaker for the price (No Bluetooth)

Yes, the speaker isn't as loud (just fine for the bathroom

Easy to play music through Spotify and Pandora (WiFi only, no bluetooth)Not the best speaker but not really using it as a music player

I received my Eufy smart speaker a few days ago.

I have no complaints, it may not be as responsive as the echo dot, but it definitely serves as a great economical option with a better speaker than the echo dot version.

That comment notwithstanding, this review is for the merits of the product itself in the wider sphere of alexa-enabled responsive speakers

I set up this inexpensive smart speaker.

Overall a childish speaker.

The actual speaker itself isnt very loud and the louder it goes the worse it gets

Great smart speaker for an affordable Price, I bought two speakers and I plan to get some more

I have no complaints about my eufy Genie Smart Speaker with Alexa

The system is attractive: I tuck the smart speaker behind my monitor it does not take up a bunch of space, does not add or take away from the decor, unobtrusive which is fine with me

Easy set up, good sounding speaker for the size.

And, while I still think the Dot is more responsive initially (and therefore more useful as an "assistant"), these Genies function great as a nice "smart" speaker

The speaker is louder.

The sound is comparable to this Anker speaker: Anker SoundCore mini, Super-Portable Bluetooth Speaker with 15-Hour Playtime, 66-Foot Bluetooth Range, Enhanced Bass, Noise-Cancelling Microphone - Black which I also own (told you I was a fanboy)

It's more on the levels of a loud bluetooth portable speaker

If I were you, I would take a close look at the new Google Home mini as it is cheap ($50), looks better than Echo dot and Eufy Genie, and has a great speaker.

If want a good little speaker to add to another room it is great!

Eufy Genie Smart Speaker With Amazon Alexa, Voice Control and Hands-Free Use, Stream Online

Over all it is great smart speaker to start with and it is much cheaper then any other smart speaker out there

Eufy Genie Smart Speaker With Amazon

The combination of Spotify Connect and Airplay is the thing that puts it above other smart speakers for me.

Speaker is plenty loud for a small room, but if you are using this for music, as expected it lacks bass and overall sound quality

If you don't plan on ever buying one of Amazon's smart speakers, this is probably the option I'd recommend first

Eufy contacted me after the original review to try and buy me off with a cheap Bluetooth speaker

The speaker is very loud and clear.

If you're looking for very basic smart speaker function and don't mind meh audio

Over all it is great smart speaker to start with and it is much cheaper then any other smart speaker out there

The Genie does not have bluetooth, so if you want to connect to the genie like a basic "dumb" bluetooth speaker you wont be able to

Price point makes it silly to buy a dumb speaker.

The speaker is pretty good for the size, but the mic is seriously lacking.

Sound quality is just okay , has a external speaker Jack so you can hook up a better sounding speaker.

Speaker is a little better than the small echo

I received this smart speaker today and I have to say I am astounded

The speaker is loud enough for my living room and it was easy to stream music from Spotify too.

" Pay the couple of bucks more for a dot and connect it to a nicer speaker if you need better sound quality.

It's more on the levels of a loud bluetooth portable speaker

I love this speaker

It looks cheaper than the dot and, while the speaker is louder, it's not better.

It’s not as good as the Anker Bluetooth speaker I have, but it’s close.

I got a great deal on this little smart speaker ($20)

The Eufy Genie recognizes my voice at the same rate as other products, can control my Alexa enabled lights and outlets, and has a great speaker

Audio - the volume this smart speaker is able to produce is loud and clear

The speaker is pretty decent for the

The speakers are definitely louder than my echo dot, they're good enough for me to not bother setting it up with another speaker

These are great AIRPLAY speakers... the only caveat is that they are 2.5Ghz not 5Ghz.

It was somewhat cheaper than the Echo when I bought it, and the only feature I missed was the Echo's ability to have Alexa play music to speaker groups, which this doesn't support

Yes, the speaker isn't as loud (just fine for the bathroom

Mid-June, the speakers have completely crapped out

I must say that the setup went much smoother than setting up an echo, the speaker is better and other than the features that it doesn't include right

But until then, if you can live with the omissions, this is a fine device with a great sounding speaker for it's size, an identical layout as the Dot for ease of use and setup and IMHO better looks

Boght it on sale and it actually was my first smart speaker

It does have an audio out, unlike a Google Home, which means that you can use it to drive the nice speaker system that's attached to your TV.The far field microphone isn't as well implemented as Amazon's, and it seems to misunderstand me more than an echo, but works just fine for setting times, listening to audible books (which is a big deal in my opinion), and listening to music

Still decent wifi speaker if you don't compare it to an Echo

Not the greatest speaker but better than the Amazon Dot and perfect for my kitchen..

Slightly better speaker than Dot, but Alexa is slow to respond compared to the Echo.

It works fine and the speaker is pretty darn good.

The speaker was always slow to respond to commands or play music.

The better speaker is a definite upgrade over the Dot, well worth the difference in price, I put mine in our smaller bathroom which made it the perfect size and a great bath /shower music addition!

The speaker inside is, in my opinion, much better than that of the echo dot (so at the price point, this may be a better option).- very similar user interface/user experience to that of the amazon devices (which is nice if they both co-exist in your

The speaker is pretty good and I feel little better than Echo's speaker

No need to Bluetooth it to a more powerful speaker ( it’s not Bluetooth capable, but does include a 3.5 audio cord)

The speaker is sufficient unless you intend to play music, then I’d recommend to connect it to an external speaker.

I'd say it's akin to an inexpensive Bluetooth speaker

I just set up my Eufy Genie Smart Speaker

AMAZING SPEAKER FOR THE PRICE!

While not a Genie replacement, it is a great speaker with unbelievable battery life and sound that exceeds its small size.

If all you want is the basic functionality of Alexa in a mediocre speaker, this is the product for you.

When I have my TV set on, my smart speaker sometimes spontaneously says "sorry, I didn't get that

Each one is bluetoothed to a more powerful speaker

It would be adequate for podcast listening (how I'd planned to use it) but would be mediocre for music if you're one who has any passion for decent speakers or stereo equipment

It is louder without the need for adding a louder speaker in a single room

The speaker does not work very well

Voice responsiveness has a little something to be desired, but I try to keep it all in the context that this was a relatively inexpensive speaker so for the money it's not that bad

The Eufy comes with an audio input cable and I have solved that problem by hooking up a small portable speaker that I already had

This speaker is ideal for adding Alexa capabilities into rooms for a fairly low price

The speaker is decent for it's size, kind of like a Jam speaker, it has just about all the same functions as the Dot, however the features it is lacking, is Bluetooth, Echo Dot drop in, messaging, Spotify (currently

I'd like to think in this day and age it would just be a standard feature to have on any device ranging from computers, phones to smart speakers

As a standalone smart speaker there are several things the eufy smart speaker leaves to be desired

Great speaker

The speaker is louder than the dot as well, but I connected an old set of computer speakers for better sound anyway.

Ultimately this was annoying but not a huge dealConclusion: I am very happy with this smart speaker, I am probably going to buy another one to use in my work office.

Nice speaker but no Bluetooth capabilities, which I wish I had known prior to buying

It is the perfect speaker for podcast listening with some music.

The speaker is decent, not the best but also not the worst.

We tested both the Eufy Genie Smart Speaker and the Echo Dot together, and the Eufy was in fact

Eufy Genie Smart Speaker With

For a “smart” speaker, this is incredibly inconvenient, especially if intended as a gift for an elderly relative

Works the same as my Echo dot, bet has better speakers.

Speaker is good.

Pros: Works as an airport speaker for iOS, sounds only slightly better (in different ways) than our dot, durable (baby knocked it off the counter once, no issues)Cons: Doesn't work with all of alexa features (like calls)Recent gripe has really been the software

Decent speaker and love the price.

Cool little smart speaker

The Genie has a much better speaker than the Dot, but not better than the Echo

lacks some connectability between Echo device, speaker was good but not great

Setup was easy, and the speaker is better than the internal speaker on the Dot, but the Genie would start responding without the Alexa keyword being spoken and talk about things that were completely unrelated.

The speaker is not that loud if you want it to stream music for a

It's cheaper and the speaker is better

I am a little disappointed that there is no bluetooth, since my largest speaker is only bluetooth, but that is more my speaker's fault since the 3.5mm aux cord is pretty standard.

First time user of an Alexa enabled device and I am glad that the Eufy Genie was the right choice to have when getting into the smart speaker environment

If great sound quality for music playback etc is a very important criteria for you dont buy the Echo Dot, Dont buy the Genie, get a larger Smart Speaker (full size Alexa speaker, etc)

Smart speakers are just new in general, so they are constantly being updated to better handle user requests

The speaker is much louder and has more quality than Echo dot

This has a better speaker than our echo dot so music sounds slightly better

speaker could be better

While it does have a better speaker than the Dot, the other problems detract from the experience.

Eufy genie works as an airplay speaker with iOS devices

This is my first foray into a smart speaker

I already have one Echo Dot, but got this to have another smart speaker in the bedroom

Great smart speaker as a stand alone... great price

Excelent WiFi/Bluetooth speaker that has Alexa integrated

The Eufy Genie Smart Speaker works as expected

What a trash - dumb speaker, no bluetooth - no use if not configured with Alexia - I tried and

Anker SoundCore Bluetooth Speaker with 24-Hour Playtime, 66-Foot Bluetooth Range & Built-in Mic, Dual-Driver Portable Wireless Speaker with Low Harmonic Distortion and Superior Sound - Black

The price was right, but the speaker was absolute garbage

This Smart Speaker is perfect for use in my classroom

but I now know that this is mainly due to the better speaker that exists within the Eufy Genie (at least I think)

The speaker is nice and loud on its own

lacks some connectability between Echo device, speaker was good but not great

The speaker is very good for the price but definitely not Bose or Sonos quality

I love this smart speaker

There are a ton of uses for this smart speaker

Speaker not great and voice control sucks 🤨

service!UPDATE 2:After spending some time using my Eugy Genie after the Spotify Update, I have to say this little smart speaker is amazing

but I don't think that is the speaker's fault.

While the genie is a cheaper option than the echo dot (with a significantly better speaker), the fact that it's lacking features is a real disappointment

It does not have Bluetooth connectivity but the speaker is loud enough

With the powerful speaker and mics, I realized I could cover an entire floor with one of these... which I did!.I've noticed some deficiencies when compared to the Amazon Dot, which I've articulated to Anker, and they have indicated with soon to be released firmware upgrades, this device will be ready for the masses

2 other echos and amazon doesn't allow you to use other smart speakers in their home speaker groups, maybe someone knows away around this?For $20 bucks it might be worth depending on who you are

I would definitely recommend this smart speaker.

I also think the Genie has a better sounding speaker internally

Its speaker seems a little more robust, and its look is a little more “modern” (I guess

This is a cool little speaker but it doesn’t have the full feature set

2:The speaker on the genie gives out a static noise whenever Alexa is listening or responding

The speaker is decent, not the best but also not the worst.

On the other hand, almost everything else with the Eufy works as well as with the Dot, since the handful of missing features are ones I don't use even in the Dots.

Almost as good as the real thing but not quite...

Alexa does NOT work the same as on an Echo Dot

The product itself is excellent, the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars have to do with Amazon Alexa itself, as its very easy to mis-trigger, it has been falsely triggered multiple times by movie, tv shows or youtube videos, none of them specifically mention the

After contacting the company they sent me a new device and they have upgraded the old ones and everything works as it should

The only minor quibble I have is that the microphone didn't seem as good as in the echo dot

1 one so far works as it should

it only runs on 4Ghz which means when my phone is on my 5G network i have to switch my network and it doesn’t respond as fast as

but I would recommend this product as of today.
