I’ve been through a few electronic deadbolts over the years, mainly the Kwikset Powerbolt and the Kwikset Smartcode, both of which utilize pressure pads. Although they’ve been reliable, the pressure pad does wear out over time and the Kwikset Smartcode lock goes through AA batteries very quickly, as in 3 months max.
While I haven’t had the Nest lock long enough to determine its battery life longevity, I can say that literally, every other attribute about this lock is far superior to the Kwikset’s that I’ve owned in the past.
What I like:
-Easy Install*
-Bolt manually engages and disengages silky smooth, with no resistance.
-Bolt points left-to-right when in the locked position, which is what I’m use to, vice some locks that point up-down in the locked position. As a creature of habit, the left-to-right lockup gives me a good visual.
-The 9v battery backup option is brilliant, because I can always pop the battery out of my garage door opener if needed due to battery failure on the lock.
-Near silent operation. My other Kwikset lock was very loud, gas powered not weed eater loud, but loud.
-Unlocks super fast, with almost zero wait time for entry.
-Lock App is simple and not cluttered with a plethora of icons for seldom used features.
-Smooth glass touch face is easy to activate and instantly responsive to touch.
-A smartphone or tablet isn’t required to make the lock operational, although a smart devices is indeed necessary to access the App.
*A note about installing the module: My lock wouldn’t initially pair with my module, if you run into this issue, try a few things first before giving up;
-During setup, connect the module as instructed without plugging it into the wall, just push on the front of the module to activate the light.
-If the module still isn’t recognized, relocate the module to a receptacle closer to the lock.
-After the module is activated, when instructed to connect the lock to the module, ensure that you use the same access point that you used when activating the module. Some homes have different networks that auto switch to the strongest access point signal, so just double check that your phone or tablet hasn’t auto-switched to a different access point.
What I don’t like:
-Cost ~ This is a pricy lock considering that it has minimal features compared to other brand of flagship locks. Purchased for a good price during Black Friday, otherwise, I could’ve never justified the retail price, even though I’m thoroughly impressed with the product thus far.
-Google ~ Nest was bought out by Google, so it’s necessary to create a google account in order access the app features.
-Styling ~ The outside portion of Nest Yale lock is spectacular. However, the same degree of sleek, minimalist styling wasn’t applied to the interior portion of the lock. It’s not unattractive by any stretch, but it’s far from awe-inspiring compared to the effort that Yale achieved on the front side of the lock.
-Would prefer a completely tool-less battery access panel.
Overall, I’m thrilled with the lock thus far, 5 Stars thrilled despite some of the shortfalls. However, if battery life turns out to be short, I’ll end up deducting a star.
tl;dr: The negative reviewers probably couldn't tie their own shoelaces, and if you want to know why, read on.
Normally I do a pro's and con's review, but after seeing the 'top review' on this product being a disparaging review stemming from his lack of knowledge on install and usage (which was all in the manual and app), I figured I'd make a review to respond. Here are the top bullet points of the other negative reviews and the reality of them:
• 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 40000% 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘣𝘰𝘭𝘵 𝘰𝘳 1000% 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦 (𝘥𝘶𝘮𝘣) 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬. 𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘬𝘦𝘺 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘰𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵, 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘢 9𝘷 𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬.
𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘: This is a half truth. If you install the strike plate so it misaligns with the deadbolt, it'll be finnicky about wanting to lock. With a dumb deadbolt, you can force it with your fingers. You wouldn't want the motor to force the lock as it'd burn it out quickly. This is entirely avoided by performing a proper install to begin with, which in my case just meant using a small flathead and hammer to knock some of the wood away where the strike plate was going to sit before screwing it on. And then the bit about needing a 9V? The lock itself is powered by 4 AA's, and it warns you well in advance when the lock needs a battery swap. If you let it die, you'd really have to be negligent.

𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘: The tailpiece is identical to the "dumb" deadbolt I replaced. The difference is that the Nest's tailpiece has some leeway where it's attached to the turn assembly BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T INSTALL IT OTHERWISE. This amount of give is purely for install purposes and doesn't detract to the "locking security" of the deadbolt. The only way to break it is trying to purposely break it off or if you improperly tried to slot it through the bolt assembly. I'm sorry but that's like complaining a butter knife has no durability after stepping on one end and lifting the other end with your arm.
Anyway. Hope this helps anyone looking to try this thing out. Maybe if some of the other reviewers read manual, they'd be sitting pretty right now, but y'know. The only difficulty I had was pairing the Nest Connect, and it was A-okay once I disconnected the Bluetooth headphones I was using during install.

It integrates with the Nest app just like any other Nest device, and you can use it in Google Home.
I was a little worried about not having a key for a backup, but if you ignore the weeks of low battery alerts, you can connect a 9 volt to the bottom to open it. Plus not having a key means less of a security worry.
This lock communicates with the included device, which is connected directly to power, so the batteries in the lock last a long, long time. I had no setup issues, and everything just worked as expected.
I've wasted hundreds of dollars on other smart locks, I wish I had just bought this one first.
