The Eufy Genie has just gon on sale for $19.99 for today only. This is the new lowest price that this smart speaker has ever been. You can read my review of the Eufy Genie, but it’s essentially an Amazon Echo Dot clone with nearly all of the same capabilities. My one and only major complaint of the Eufy Genie was that it did not have Echo Spacial Perception (ESP) but I have just discovered that it now does support ESP, so it works well with other Echo devices nearby. The only real issue with the Genie, compared to the Dot, is it doesn’t have access to some of the advanced Alexa features, like calling and messaging. Other than the lower cost, the main advantage of the Eufy Genie over the Echo Dot is that the Genie has a slightly better sounding speaker than the Dot. While I would still recommend the Echo Dot over the Eufy Genie for most people, it’s hard to resist at this price, especially if you’re fine with not having calling capabilities.
@AFTVnews
Do you know if this is dual band AC Wi-Fi?
No, it only supports 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n.
Is there any reason a device of this type would need AC wifi?
Lenovo were supposed to release their version of the Amazon Echo, did that ever happen after? I think that one of the speakers were powered by Harmen audio technology but there has been no mention of it for months. I presume they gave up on it?
I wouldn’t mind one of these at this great price but unfortunately it doesn’t ship to the UK :(
Can you make phone calls with these like the Amazon ALexa devices?
I’m pretty certain AFTVNews said no in an earlier post.
damn i missed it i hope it is going to go on sale again between now and cyber monday ,i just want it for the 3.5mm out to connect to my stereo for whole home audio
