Yep got one, its good.  We have had it for 6 months or so now, came with a new Alu door.  Batteries say 80% so seems good so far.   Biggest benefit is the clutch, so its not physically moving a bolt in and out, its just enabiling or disabiling the clutch.  App works well, with plenty of settings.  I also have the Wifi bridge which is good for remote access, checking lock status all that.  The biggest disadvatage of these over others is smart home integration - there isnt any!  

 

My favourite thing about it is the auto lock, we have ours set to 10 seconds, so that the clutch disengages and the door is effectively locked.  So you can have the door still open and it locks by disengaging, obviously couldnt do that with ones that move a physical bolt as the door wouldnt shut.  Have not used the finger print sensor or the RFID tags as have been content with the number pad.  Top tip - if you get a number wrong you dont need to reset the keypad with hash or anything, you can immediately redo your pin and it will work.
