Sleek, elegant design, Simple keypad and app-powered operation, Responsive and reliable
Large rear lock housing, Awkward installation due to poor quality internals, Fewer features than competitors, Limited smart home integration
Even as Nest fans, we'd pass on the Nest x Yale lock and go with a competitor. Should Nest build out the lock's features and integrations (with third-parties as well as its own products) our stance may soften. But at this point, the Nest x Yale Lock is a...

Well-designed, Great app, Easy to use
Expensive, Not much smart home integration
The Nest x Yale lock is perhaps the single best smart lock on the market -- but only for a select group of people: those that use Nest, or those that are willing to. If you're a HomeKit user, or a user of just about any other smart home system, you'll hav...

Simple installation, Integrates with other Nest devices
No support for Amazon Alexa or HomeKit
If you already have one or more Nest devices and use Google Assistant a lot, the Nest X Yale is a good choice for a smart lock. If you don't want to be locked into Nest, then the August Smart Lock Pro is a better all-around choice, as is the Yale Real Liv...
With an investment of at least $249, and more likely $279, the Nest x Yale Lock ain't cheap. But if you're, like me, already entrenched in the Google and/or Nest ecosystem, it's a no-brainer, especially if you're hanging onto a 20-year-old deadbolt like m...
At $279.99, the Nest x Yale is a heavy investment. But the convenience of being able to unlock your phone without using a key can't be overstated, and the ability to assign temporary keys instead of handing out permanent physical ones is wonderful...

Works well within Nest ecosystem, easy to install,
Remote access sharing often malfunctions, no compatibility outside of Nest, no physical key backup
The Nest x Yale is functional but not great. It is a worthwhile purchase if you've already invested in the Nest ecosystem and want to be able to monitor your lock remotely. However, we did run into some issues with sharing access remotely, so it may not b...
Battery-powered (standard, easy to find batteries, too!), Easy to use, Integrates with other Nest products
Limited functionality with third-party services, Tricky to install so that it's straight on either side, You'll need a Nest Connect (or Nest Guard) to use it, No manual key fallback
Easy to install (assuming a modern-ish home), Easy to use, Integrates well with existing Nest products
Only integrates with other Nest products, Privacy Mode lockout, No voice control
Interoperability gripes aside, the Nest x Yale lock works exactly as expected. Installing Nest products just work. There is no app timeout or need for multiple tries to connect to the device. The lock connected to the Nest app the first time. Controlling...
Integrates well with the Nest ecosystem, All the expected features are front and center, Sturdy hardware
Not terribly attractive, particularly inside the house, Considerable trouble during setup, Expensive, especially if you also need to buy a Nest Connect
Nest's first smart lock is a somewhat buggy Yale product with Nest features, not the other way around...
