Score: 88/100Rankings
The eufy Security Smart Lock C220 is a robust, hub-free Wi-Fi deadbolt featuring self-learning AI fingerprint recognition and BHMA Grade 3 durability. Its main drawback is the reliance on standard AA batteries without a rechargeable option. It is ideal for users in extreme weather environments or high-traffic households who prioritize reliability and ease of installation.
The Google Nest x Yale Lock is a high-security smart deadbolt designed for Google Nest ecosystem users, featuring Grade 2 certification and IP65 weatherproofing. Its primary limitation is the lack of compatibility with Alexa or Apple HomeKit, and it does not support voice unlocking. It is best suited for homeowners already invested in the Nest secure system who want seamless alarm disarming upon entry.
