The Echo Dot is Amazon’s most affordable Alexa speaker, so it makes perfect sense that it’s also Amazon’s best-selling Alexa speaker. But if it’s Amazon’s best-selling Alexa speaker at $50, can you imagine how well it would sell if it only cost $19.99? Anker’s Eufy brand doesn’t have the same marketing muscle as Amazon, and that’s why the Eufy Genie Smart Speaker with Hands-Free Amazon Alexa will never sell as well as the Echo Dot. But those in the know are aware that it’s just as good as a Dot, making it the best and most affordable way to add Alexa to any room in your home.
