Sometimes simple is just fine!

Good, basic door chime! Both our button and our chime have been broken for a while now. Our house is a split level, and we often couldn't hear the doorbell if we were downstairs. I purchased a wireless chime from a big box store. The transmitter for the chime had to be wired into our existing chime, then we could place the receiver into any outlet in the house where we needed it. So when our chime quit working, I moved the receiver upstairs. But it was loud, and played a melody that I didn't particularly care for. I wanted to go back to the old 2 note chime. Then I noticed that our button outside had been broken (presumably over the winter). It was simple and inexpensive enough to order these from Amazon. Since the wireless chime was still receiving a signal, I assumed (correctly) that our transformer did not need to be replaced. We didn't need anything fancy. I followed the instructions that came in the box, and I had this chime up and running very quickly. The dog took a while to get used to it, but the kids helped give her lots of practice.

Problems may not be with the chime.

I bought this as a replacement for a malfunctioning “Melody” electronic door chime, it had intermittent static and noise coming out of it’s speaker. After installing this chime I had a constant loud buzzing noise from the chime and it did not work from the doorbell switch at all. Since this chime doesn’t have very good reviews I was ready to send it back. But I elected to keep troubleshooting. The system really only has 4 parts: doorbell button (switch), transformer, chime, and wiring. So I checked the voltage at the transformer, should be 16 volts AC, I actually had 18 Volts AC. Not sure if that will be a problem in the long term but I figure it may be within the tolerances for the transformer (and chime). So after further research I noted that lighted doorbell switches allow some current to pass through and that if they fail and allow too much current through you will have problems at the chime. I tested this theory by removing the doorbell switch and then touching the 2 wires together to activate the chime. Then it worked, so I simply removed the light bulb and diode from the doorbell switch so the switch is now simply an unlighted “normally open” push button switch. Problem solved. Chime works perfectly with a “ding dong” chime when the doorbell button is pushed.

Great way to add a second doorbell

I have a profound hearing loss. I spend a lot of time on my computer in the bedroom with the door closed and a window AC on. I kept missing the doorbell. I thought I would try wiring this directly to my main doorbell. I figured that, since it only activates for a second, the relay on the main doorbell could drive them both. Works just fine.

A virtually identical replacement for my 27 year old doorbell.

When I bought my house 10 years ago, the doorbell was already on the way out, but for some reason, I never really put in the effort to replace it. But as it got worse, I finally took the 10 minutes to look for a replacement on Amazon, and this was cheap enough that I figured it would have to be a real stinker for me to hate it. To my surprise, when I went to remove the old doorbell, I discovered that this was a virtually identical replacement- same chimes, same circuitry, even the font identifying the terminals was identical. The only difference was in the outer cover- mine was a faded yellow, which either was due to time or because the house originally had yellow walls, the new one was white with a different pattern. This made the replacement about as simple a task as you could ask for-- I tagged the wires, pulled down the old one, put the new one back in the same exact place, and wired it back up. The hardest part of the process was pulling the wires back through the old unit, but all told, it was five minutes from start to finish, and we're no longer missing the delivery guy when we're at the back of the house. I can't guarantee that this will last 15+ years, but given how close a match it is, I'm hopeful.

A simple doorbell. Amazing!

I had a heck of a time finding a simple freaking doorbell at the big orange store. They're all wireless now. Or gaudy looking. Or sold in two packs. Or sold with a transformer. And two cheap buttons. And a loaf of bread. I just needed a SIMPLE. FREAKING. DOORBELL. Well I found it.

Excellent replacement

My doorbell has never worked well since I purchased my house. After cleaning up the doorbell and wiring, it still did not function well. I found this replacement here on Amazon. It was low cost and a direct replacement. Wiring it up is simple, just connect and mount. It is loud, works well.

Easy installation

My last doorbell suddenly only "dinged." It quit making the "dong" part of the audible "ding-dong." I ordered this because of the price and because its physical footprint was the same as my broken unit (I did not want to repaint the wall). Installation only required connecting two wires and mounting the unit to the wall. It took about 5 minutes from start to finish. This doorbell will support two doorbell buttons. Presumably one for the front door, one for the back. My home only has a button on the front door.

Great economical replacement to our old door buzzer.

It's nice to have a normal door bell now. The 40+ year old door bell buzzer that was original with the house we moved into 9 years ago, was just that, a buzzer. It sounded horrible, and would wake the dead, when someone rang the doorbell. This one lets us know someone is there, but is not loud or disturbing enough to wake our 4 year old son from a nap. Also, the installation could not have been simpler. I just took the old buzzer down, marked, drilled, and hammered level drywall screw receivers into the wall, connected the old wires to this door bell, and screwed it up. I think the whole process took me 15 - 20 minutes.

Good basic doorbell

Good basic doorbell. The hammer was getting stuck in ours, and therefore not working. I may have got lucky, but this had the exact same screw hole pattern as our 1970s era doorbell. I was able to use the same screw holes and installed it in less than 10 minutes. It makes the typical "ding dong" sound that I'm sure you have heard a thousand times. Good price. Does it's job. What more do you need?

Works with 2 Doors

I purchased this doorbell to replace the 23 year old Broan doorbell that came with our house. I took a chance that it would work with two doors which it does.
