    Eufy Genie Wi-Fi Smart Speaker with Amazon Alexa, Voice Control and Hands-Free Use, Stream Online Music (Amazon Music, Pandora, Sirius XM), Smart Home Control, AirPlay Compatible, AUX Output, Black

    • I don't have an accent and I'm a few feet away, and yet I have a hard time getting it to hear me
    • The only good time was the price point $19.99 Sale but so not worth it
    • The first unit had a hard time even been seen (1 out 30 times) and could never get it to connect
    • It had been about 3 minutes at an odd time (something like 41 minutes past the hour).
    • The Genie has a harder time "hearing" your questions, but I think that is due to less microphones
    • It has a hard time picking up the wake word, and when it does start listening, it will misunderstand me most of the times
    • Spotify: the genie has a hard time shuffling spotify or finding music vs. other echo products I own
    • The unit is only equipped with 2 microphones and it has trouble understanding me half the time, there isn't any Bluetooth, it only works on 2.4 GHz WiFi networks, you can't make any calls with it, and all your streaming services have to be added to a separate app
    • You might think it didn't hear you, and repeat yourself a couple times before you realize it's just slow to respond
    • And It seems that Alexa has a hard time pulling answers to your questions, but I know the team behind the speaker is working hard on rolling out updates to the device to make it comparable to the Echo line
    • Its all about the application, with no bluetooth and slightly slower respond time, It won't replace any of my dots
    • The only good time was the price point $19.99 Sale but so not worth it
    • Also, it gave me the wrong time zone and would not change even when I changed it through the app
    • The mic it self seems to have a hard time picking up my voice even at short distances I felt like I had to yell for it to respond
    • Now I can turn off lights, play music, get weather updates, check time, set alarm, all using voice command (Alexa)!!
    • Difficult time connecting speaker to app.
    • it has lost its connection more times that I can count so far
    • but it has a hard time hearing my voice when it is alarming
    • This product has a hard time hearing me when I call for Alexa
    • It was not that useful, because it seems to have a harder time understanding my commands than the Echo Dot
    • There are some weird timing issues when asking for a translation of something - the translation starts to play before Alexa stops speaking.
    • DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON THIS HUNK O JUNK.
    • It failed every time I tried
    • On it's own, it's a decent device, but not as good at hearing/understanding you as the Dot, and much slower response times.
    • Lost connection twice already and had to fire up the EufyHome app again, which crashed a few times on my phone
    • Thing is, so do my other home wireless smart devices such as my thermostat, plugs, etc (why I wanted to get Eufy to voice command them) and I had no issues with them connecting to my guest network (even tried the home network and still no luck).I did finally get a live person yesterday and they are indeed friendly and appreciate that he didn't make me waste my time going through all the steps that have been done and redone several times and we did try a couple
    • n’t tarnish the Alexa brand for a new user
    • n’t work
