The trade off is that with the Eufy they are much more streamlined and make the unit look nicer but they are much more (at least for me) difficult to find and control than those on the Amazon echo dots devices.

As this device is a cheaper unit they did have to cut corners a bit

This unit generally works and was a good

The only other downside is an Alexa one...the unit will overhear general conversation and misinterpret it into a command

I really like Anker and all their products, they have great customer service, I think I'm just one of the unlucky ones that received a faulty unit.

the new unit works as advertised

Maybe I've just got a bad unit?

I might had received a bad unit, but I could not get it paired and with the Echo dot now selling for $29.99 on sale it does not make sense to have this speaker that can't coexist with my other echo dots in the same group.

The unit emits a static noise from time to time

The unit is easy to set up

It was easy to set up, just like a dot, and of course it doesn't do the majority of Alexa skills, but I bought this for a cheap, garage unit

For me, the unit stutters when responding to verbal commands.

The unit is still lacking but I will keep buying anker products because of their great support

so they replaced the unit without me asking and it works so well

light ring animations are nice and the unit seems like a decent quality piece...until you try to set it up

This unit is awful, it worked one day and played music with no issues

Unit still doesn't support Alexa calling, which is disappointing

I'd love to know if I just had a bad/defective unit or if my experiences are typical of the Eufy Genie's.

Also recently, the units frequently become non-responsive and require a power-cycling restart

me)- the unit is sleeker and a better design than the Dot

After seeing my last review, I was contacted by customer service who were very nice and offered me a replacement free of charge to see if perhaps I had a defective unit

the unit sounds pretty decent on its own

Maybe I had a defective one or a bad unit from the factory.

Hopefully they can rollout a update to allow that but definitely recommend unit for the price.

n’t tarnish the Alexa brand for a new user
