$50 for an Echo Dot is crazy when this Anker smart speaker is basically the same thing for $20
Everyone loves the Echo Dot because it’s the cheapest way to get access to Alexa anywhere and everywhere in your house. What you might not realize, however, is that there’s a similar smart speaker that costs less than half as much as the Echo Dot! The Eufy Genie Wi-Fi Smart Speaker with Amazon Alexa is a similar gadget that’s made by Anker, one of the biggest consumer electronics brands on Amazon. So, instead of paying Amazon $50 per Dot, you can get Genies from Anker for $19.99 a piece!
