The reviews don't seem that stellar, can anyone provide any insight on their experience? Some reviews mentioned: extreme battery consumption and locking out after a few months

I had this for my garage/Kitchen entrance and it was really bad. I had to factory reset it twice ... eufy sent me a replacement ... that stopped working within 3 months. The battery kept going out within 2 months and i had to recharge it every time. Also the lock jammed up on me 3 times and had to use the manual key every time which became frustrating as I own alot of Eufy products and they all work flawlessly. I would say this was one of the worst products i used with Eufy and their customer service was great in replacing it 3 times but i gave up after 3 times and they gave me a full refund.
I ended up hiring a handyman and had him do a deadbolt above the handle door and ended up buying the eufy Smart Lock S230. i have both of the S230's on my main front door and one in the garage/kitchen entrance. The batteries last even longer now i would say 6 months with moderate use and 4-5 months with heavy use.

What batteries are you using?
I use Energizer Lithium batteries and they last - different lock, but I guess same principle
I bought a C33 about the same price when they had promotion a few months ago. I have to say this is the worst device I've ever used. The battery exhausted every week for a new set of 8 AA. I thought it may be an isolated case, and requested a replacement. But the situation remains the same. I have to replace 8 batteries every week. Then I switched to chargeable batteries. The interval shortened to 4 days. I have many Eufy products, cameras, robot vacuums, they all work fine, and almost no maintenance. This one is by far the worst one in their products line.
I installed this about a month ago for my gate and it's been great! Fingerprint hasn't been an issue and I'll use the physical key when I want it to remain unlocked. My friend did the same for his size gate entrance and ended up replacing the garage door access and back for entrance with it. I guess we're in the few that loves it but I wish I went to it sooner. Maybe they've update it since?

I tried both Duracell Optimum and Energizer as well. Maybe I got unlucky with the first unit since it was defective, but I experienced the same issue with the other two units. This is the only Eufy product I haven't had luck with
EUFY website claiming batteries should last 12 months, if it auto-unlocks approx 20/day.
For those who have this, does turning Auto-Lock option "OFF" help extend battery life ?
But i want to be able to use the auto lock fuction i dont want to remember the lock my S230's lock themselves after 2 mins and its been crazy good even with the Auto lock functionality. Last me around 6 months.
