Also, a thief can just kick the door in, or go in through a back window if they really want to.
Any lock can be bypassed. Just take a look at the lock picking lawyer.
Also, you can try and fill in the keyhole with something block it I guess.
It's not for everybody. I have two of them because they each solved different problems/annoyances for me.
The fingerprint works great. The keypad is a backup/method but I haven't had to use it for myself as I use the fingerprint.
Contractors, cleaners, dog walkers, or other family can be given their own individual code with optional time limits - 2pm to 4pm.
The key, which will explode the other commenter's mind, is next backup/method.
I'm leaving a few more options... like opening via the app, etc.
It helps me so I bought it, and then bought another one after using it for a while.

You are comparing two different products. The one that was for $186.99 comes with a wi-fi bridge. This one has built-in wi-fi.
If you can install a regular deadbolt in your house, then you can install this one. It's super easy.
Packaging is on point! Everything feels high quality. It sets right up on my network and hasn't had any issues in the first month of use.
We don't use the auto lock feature because we go in and out of our doors 100 times per day. But, the ability to check if the door is locked when you're out of the house is worth the price alone. And the ability to unlock the doors for friends/neighbors to drop stuff off is so futuristic! Also, I've set up multiple fingerprints for multiple people in the family so nobody will ever get locked out.
We seldom use the number pad, but it's a nice feature if your fingers are wet and the fingerprint reader can't get a good read.
I get the point about the key being unnecessary, but it's probably an added comfort for some people. They are sitting in a drawer inside our house, so I doubt we'll ever use them.
We have Eufy cameras around the house, so it's seamlessly integrated. And it all works with our Google Home system, so it's a no-brainer for us.
Overall, I'm very happy with it and would definitely recommend to anybody looking for a smart lock.
If the battery is out, they give you the temporary port to connect an external battery to power it up.
I'm NOT here to argue how every hacker can hack into your WiFi. I'm ONLY saying key is adding security flaw without adding much benefit.

I agree with your point, you can get Yale lock from Costco for 220, no physical key and it's very reliable. I have it for few months and no complaints so far
To answer your comment: If you already decided to buy a smart lock with WiFi, you must have accepted the internet security flaw, so that's a given. Now, why would you want to add more security flaw to it by keeping the key hole that can be physically easily picked?
By that logic I can say the same thing but about wifi. If you already decided to buy a lock with physical key hole, you must have accepted THAT security flaw, so that's a given. Now, why would you want to add more security flaw to it by keeping the wifi that can be picked wirelessly?
My problem with this smart lock is the wifi, it's confirmed that a you can unlock it via the wifi, that also means a thief/"hacker" can too. So why do I need wifi to begin with? That's just adding more security flaw to it.
Bro if you think locks can really stop someone from entering ....that is my problem...yes can delay it but can't stop

You must not have any reading and understanding ability. Talking about logic you were trying to mimic, I didn't decide to buy a lock with a physical key (never said that, and never made that point), so that's NOT a given. So what's your point now? What's your logic? You sounds like a kid to copy and replace words commenting on others that has nothing to do with what others are saying . If you like to comment, initiate a comment of your own and make your own point. It just funny ppl like you to comment on others when they don't read and understand on what others are trying to say first.
You have the right to comment eventually, say whatever you want to say, I'm done replying to you, period.
I understand, I actually never think the lock is the stopper of a thief, where there is a will, there is a way.
I'm more thinking this lock already have 3-4 means of unlocking the door, why bother to waste the material to add one extra physical key, let alone the security risk. Eventually it's the consumer pays for it. If someone likes to carry the key, good for them. I bet many ppl simply leave their key at home, so the key in this case does no good if you get locked out.
or some ppl hide somewhere outside (this is getting too old, isn't it).
I at least would like to see an option without the key. One less unnecessary feature, one less thing to fail. That's it.

Key or no key. If someone wants to get into your house, they'll find a way into your house. The key is more of a secondary backup for when/if the lock malfunctions and you need to physically unlock it.
Anyways, I have the non-WiFi version and it has been working great. Love not having to carry a key on me when I go for a run.
