Heath Zenith SL-6166-C Wireless Door Chime, White

I'm on my third one (heath/zenith is all home depot carries).

On the last two, the outside transmitter didn't last longer than the battery. The first one's electronics died. The second one fell apart in my hands while I was changing out the battery -- the plastic had degraded.

This wireless doorbell is nice and loud. It is easy to hear it all around the house. I am hearing impaired and I have no difficulty hearing it no matter what room I am in, even in the basement. A good thing about this wireless doorbell is that you can plug in the central unit. Most other wireless doorbells, that use batteries (not electric) have to run by four or five batteries. The doorbell offers a choice of three different ring styles. If you have this model doorbell at more than one door, you can make the doorbells all ring differently. (You can then tell at which door someone is ringing the bell). I have gone through quite a few wireless doorbells. This one is sturdy and reliable. The other ones I have owned lasted two or three months, at best. This is an excellent choice and good value if you want a wireless doorbell.

To avoid electrical work in an older home, a wireless doorbell is the way to go. I've been happy with this product since day one. Installation was simple, it's not an eye sore, and it's nice to have the chime plugged into the wall to minimize battery replacement. Our chime is about 40 feet from the button, and it transmits wonderfully through two walls. I am very pleased with this product.

I bought this doorbell not to use as a traditional doorbell but to use in the house. After yelling to my daughter repeatedly and running up and down the stairs, I felt like this would be a reasonable solution to get her attention.

We live in a condo, so there is the interference from other families to deal with, and we had no problems. Also, it works from downstairs in the front of the house to upstairs in the back of the house with doors closed and other electronics running. No trouble there, either.

Loud enough to be heard over music or to wake up a sleepy teen, she no longer misses her phone calls and I no longer have to go to great lengths or interrupt what I am doing to get her attention! We are pleased, it worked out well for us.

I am very disappointed. The product works only about 50% of the time; it is most unreliable (not good for a door bell). The Range is weak and not as advertised. I would recommend not buying this product
