It has been a month or so since I purchased this lock. I wanted to test it for some time before writing a review. And now a month later, I can say definitively that this is the best smart lock in the market.
It simply just works.
Once I installed the lock, it paired with the eufy app seamlessly. The features I looked for where all found in this lock:
1. Lock must be smart (ie. connects to the wifi to allow me to control it remotely and get status if it’s locked or not at night). Being smart, it means I can generate one time codes to let people in remotely over the wifi. This convenience you wont have with a non-smart lock or Bluetooth connected locks. As those require you to be next to the lock to make modifications like add a new entry code or allow someone in.
2. Fingerprint entry. This is a game changer in terms of convenience. You want the fingerprint feature as it will save you a ton of time. You don’t have to manually enter digits one at a time. It’s a must have time saver.
3. Key pad. In case I want to let a guest in, they can enter using the keypad. I can generate a one time code ahead of time and send it to them via messaging.
4. Back up USB power port: In the rare case your batteries run out, this convenient power allows you to power the lock with a USB power bank and let you in the house. Then you can replace the batteries.
5. Battery powered: it uses 8xAA batteries, which seems a lot at first, but it means it will last long. It has been 1 month now and the lock is working very well. Using removable batteries makes this product more affordable, which is a huge plus.
6. It looks good!
7. Customer service has been really kind to me.
The above 7 reasons make this lock an unbeatable lock. Yes, it doesn’t have a camera and it doesn’t have a door bell feature, but I already have a doorbell camera in my front door. I use this smart lock in my back door.
A note on customer service:
Customer service is very good. After I purchased the smart door lock and then after opening it, I realized that my door had an old style drive-in plate instead of the modern square plate. The instructions that came with the product said to contact customer service. My initial thought was that customer service would have a really difficult time to solve my problem. But to my surprised, they were very helpful. There was a little confusion in the beginning, but when they figured out what I was missing, they went above and beyond to help me locate the necessary part and then placed an order for me. This showed me that they really care. I have trust in the brand and the products and now recommend to friends and family!
If you are having some doubts or haven’t quite decided on which smart lock you want to use in your home, this is that lock. Get it. You will love it. If you have money and need some more features like video camera, eufy’s got you. Trust me, just get it, you won’t regret. Enjoy the convenience of a modern smart lock for your home, family, and friends.
