    I've yet to see any 3rd party Alexa speakers. Even the Tap doesn't support drop-in. Fabriq don't support drop-in.  
    Still 1/2 the ( nonsale) price for a Dot

    I got one for my son for XMas… not impressed. It's unresponsive a good portion of the time and slow to respond the remainder. I believe all the traffic is routing back through Eufy servers and not Amazon (or in addition to Amazon). Regardless I will likely give it away and get an Amazon brand Echo Dot.

    Yeah but it has TTS and BT so…
    
    However, they are cheap so I am sure they will work for many.

    Fabriq are also twice the price LoL
