Ideal replacement for unreliable battery system!
This was used as a delivery doorbell for our warehouse we use to have a battery system with a digital bell which worked OK but the batteries kept running out etc and it was un realiable.So we decided to install a good old fashioned hard wired system as you can't go wrong with this kind of installation.Being an electrician for over 20 years can't say there is anything wrong with this product, even cheaper than the electrical wholesaler so that's a bonus.I was very surprised that everything included In the box arrived as the supplier or amazon sent the item in a box with no tape on it just a flimsy cardboard flap.It was open when Amazon delivered it but lucky nothing missing.I did not use the included bell wire as I have reels of the stuff so can't comment on the length of the wire however it did not look long as it was a small coil.I'm not sure if that length would serve a generic house?I used an enclosure to install the transformer in definitely worth doing that as the covers for the transformer are not the best and you don't want them popping off if its In touching range.The push well its a push it will probably last a couple of years before it needs replacing but that's common for the south coast anyway.The bell not the loudest however we are using this in a warehouse and not a small hallway so unfair to saying anything bad about It on that point.The sound is your typical nan's house sound and brings back memories of standing on the doorstep of nan's house pressing the bell :-)We may need to replace it for something a bit louder but as I say that's due to where we have it installed.Pros:Simple kitComes with everything you needNice feel to pushCons:Not sure cable would of been long enough (Did not use anyway)Not many clips in box (did not use anyway)Packaging needs to be more secureCovers on transformer not the best so could make the input side unsafe would definitely recommend a din rail enclosure.Overall very happy with the kit.

Good instructions. Works a treat.
This is a 9vdc battery (not supplied) or wired bell with just two notes (ding-dong).Easy to install with a variety of pictorial wiring methods on the supplied instructions sheet.It is quite unobtrusive at 12cm x 8cm.It takes a 9vdc battery such as the MN1604B1.I opted for a 8vdc transformer and outdoor speaker cable because I have a repeater bell in the back garden. You will need electrical knowledge to install a transformer but it is easy to do if you know how.If, like me, you have a transformer DO NOT FORGET TO REMOVE THE BATTERY CONNECTION.

Sturdy but tricky to install
I have been working on a DIY project recently to create an annex on the side of my house and needed a door bell chime and this one fit the spec I was looking. It does the job and is very sturdy but I found it really confusing to install (and usually I’m very good with this kind of thing!). Think the instructions could be a bit better but I got there in the end!

Should of stuck to wireless
Didn’t work!! What a big mistake trusting in it and not testing it first, hooked it all up, router cables. Then pressed the bell nothing. Tried again with the other option. Again nothing! Was fitting this for someone too so spent about 4 hours messing around with this only to have to say to the person I need to come back with another to fit.Should of just stuck to wireless.Update: Replaced for like for like and it worked with the new transformer, so seemed a faulty transformer!So now it is fully working it is better so moved it up a star!

Very nice unit
A very attractive replacement for our 28 year old one. Sadly it’s not very loud. We have discovered that that isn’t Byron’s fault. Thanks to the EU doorbells are not allowed to be more than 9db. :o(((((
