This unit is a replacement for one I purchased on eBay that
crapped out with great rapidity. Since
it was $6.00 on eBay I wasn’t overly concerned but was annoyed. This unit is $14.19 and may also be too
cheap but as of yet that remains to be seen.
I like the doorbells that have a plug in chime. That just seems so much more practical than
a set of battery chimes. Sending the
signal does not dramatically impact a battery but chiming does have a more
significant draw, battery wise.
This is a pretty simple unit. It has 16 channels for signal transmission so
if your neighbor acquires the same unit, you will be able to change
channels. (A side note when one of my
neighbors got the same brand garage door opener that I had, I went to my book
and changed my remote back to factory default.
I randomly raised and lowered his dooer for awhile until he saw me
doubled over in laughter on my lawn. Lesson to be learned is always change from
the factory default, whatever your product might be.)
There are only three chime tones, ding, dong and Westminster. The cheap unit had 10 or 15 but since it
stopped working that really isn’t a feature to brag about.
If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
