Customer Review: It's okay - nothing special
Summary: 3 Stars
Since the doorbell in my 50 year old house no longer worked, and I wanted to avoid having to go through a rewiring operation, I opted for this wireless unit.
Basically, it works well enough - the only problems, such as they are, are that the chime itself isn't as loud as it might be and the doorbell button (which is to be mounted in the area of the front door) is not particularly visible. Perhaps if it were self-illuminating the visitor's eye would be drawn to it, but as it is it is easy to miss, particularly at dusk.
Battery life seems good; I have not had to replace the batteries in the year I've owned this item.
Customer Review: If it doesn't work out of the package......give up
Summary: 2 Stars
I never had to work so hard to install a "C" battery. One battery is a very tight fit and no room for your fingers.
And that's just the beginning. I finally got 3 batteries in the chime and one in the button and then.....nothing, it did'nt work.
After reading the manual I learned that this thing uses electronic jumpers to achieve 64 codes and stop interference. The jumpers (tiny bridges that fit over pins on the circuit board) are very hard to get to, there are a total of 14, 7 in the chime and 7 in the button. It takes experimentation to figure out what works.
I eventually found the right combination and then found that the head of the supplied screw for the chime didn't fit in the keyway slot on the back. Not a biggie...just added to the hassle.
Too much aggravation for a $17 product.
Customer Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
I have to press three times for it to chime once even when it's next to the receiver. No big deal, just remember to press three times. But no, the crap doesn't stop there. The receiver is right behind my apartment door. It doesn't have to go through any wall, just 3 glass doors in a row about 55 feet (it claimed 300 feet). It works behind 2 doors. "Works" meaning it chimes once every three ring. As soon as it's behind the 3rd door (front door), it chimes once about twenty rings. The distance between the 1st door and 2 second door is about 5 feet. I have tried like 10 combinations with the jumper, same result. [...]Customer Review: This thing is GARBAGE!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I threw it away!! it wouldn't work, tried many different things to attempt to fix it but NOTHING, just flat out would not work but one push, after that nothing!! was not the batteries either, just would not work!! too much trouble to send it back with the sellers restrictions such as "restocking" fee's (which in My opinion are BS!! and should be illegal) and then shipping costs, pointless for a cheap item such as this!! buyer beware!!
