This entry is written from the 3 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.

Owners report units consuming batteries in days rather than months. Battery life is the single most discussed issue in owner threads. Motor and latch wear develops after heavy use.
