Worried that you won't be able to hear the doorbell when you're in the garden, garage, or basement? With Heath Zenith's wireless doorbell system, you can simply pick up the chime and take it with you (it plugs in to a standard polarized socket). To install, all you need to do is mount the doorbell and plug in the chime-no electrical installation is needed.
The volume of the chime is adjustable, and you can select one of three different chimes. You can also change the code settings (which allow the doorbell to communicate with the chime) to make sure your neighbor's wireless systems won't set of your chime. Note that the battery for the doorbell is included, along with all the mounting hardware you'll need.--Josh Dettweiler

Our front door bell did not work when we moved in to our townhome. We checked with the homeowner's association as to what it would cost to have someone come out and install a new door bell. The quote we were given was $500!!! My husband's brother told us about the Heath/Zenith doorbell he bought from Amazon for a fraction of the price and he said it was really easy to install. He was right! We highly recommend this door bell is you don't need/want all the bells and whistles, just a doorbell that works.

It chimes when the button is pressed. Sound could be louder

When the door bell kit first arrived, I was so happy because it makes really good sound and installation was really easy. It even came with a battery in the package for the transmitter.However, within weeks of installation, I found the door bell was not working. At first, I thought it was the battery in the transmitter needed to be replaced, but upon closer inspection, I found it was the design of the "battery" holder in the transmitter. The transmitter uses a bend metal instead of spring to hold the batter. When the batter has been in place for awhile, the weight of the batter drove the bend metal down far enough so it was no longer make contact on both ends,so the door bell system was not working. I don't know how to prop the bend metal so it would not be weighted down by the weight of the battery, so I have to remove the door bell.I ordered the GE 19216 Wireless Door Chime Kit, and with joy I found the transmitter was much better built. It uses a spring instead of a piece of bend metal to prop the batter in place. The door bell itself does not have as nice sound as the Heath system, but at least the transmitter should work better. I will write a review for the GE system in a couple of months.

I own three of these. They seem to last about 5-10 years and then the receiver stops working, so they cost about $3 per year.I use one doorbell and then three receivers, all set to the same code. That allows the three receivers to ring at the same time as the single doorbell button is pushed. You can hear at least one of them all over the property.To those who claim they are having problems:1. There is a BATTERY in the transmitter. Note that although you plug in the receiver, you don't plug the transmitter in anywhere. That's because it is BATTERY powered. When it stops working or becomes unreliable, the battery needs replacing. Replace the battery in the button. It will magically start to work again... BUT...2. Only if the battery is in correctly. Not working? Turn it around the other way: you have positive and negative switched. The slot looks like you should put the battery in one way but that way is wrong. Turn it around. I make that mistake every time I replace the battery, so people stating that they even tried replacing the battery probably put it in backwards like I always do. Just put the battery in and push the button. If nothing happens, turn it around and try it again. It always works for me.3. Now the mysterious ghost rings that wake you up in the middle of the night when no one is there: HELLO, your neighbor just bought one and you are receiving the signal from your neighbor's doorbell. Change the code on your receiver AND the doorbell button transmitter (they have to match) and the ghosts will "magically" go away.These things work fine. They are cheap so lots of people buy them and that means you need to change the code when you buy them - takes all of 2 minutes - so that when your neighbor buys one you don't hear his doorbell ringing. They also only last 5-10 years, but that's what you get for $20.This is the risk of reviews on Amazon: bunches of people who don't understand the product telling you it doesn't work when it does. I've owned three of them for 10 years and one failed, the others are fine. But I do have to replace the battery every now and then and I did have to change the codes.100 foot range is wishful thinking. With a couple of walls in the way, you'll get about 25 feet, plus or minus.

I am the doorbell man, an expert, so to speak. Over the past few years, at my drivethru window, I have gone through a number of wireless doorbells. The reason for this is quite varied. The first time, the wired doorbell was stolen. The second time, the doorbell was sideswiped by someone in the drivethru. The third time, the wireless transmitter shorted out in the rain. The fourth time, I got a stupid 'bird' doorbell, which I didn't know chirped 'london bridge' and other classic tunes which drove us all bonkers. The fifth and last few times, the magnetic backing we put on the transmitter (so that we can retrieve it and keep it from being stolen) was not strong enough to keep people from knocking if off, and subsequently driving over it. The last 2 doorbells did not transmit through our cinder block and brick walls the great distance of say, 6 feet. Also, the last 2 did not have "easy pressibility": in other words, some light presses did not transmit a ring.Who would have thought doorbellology was such a complex and thought provoking subject?Anyway, this bell has "easy pressibility," transmits well and is quite loud. And it's white, which goes with everything. Everything you would want in a door chime.And BTW, we found a way to keep the transmitter from sliding off: we used a giant binder clip we had been saving for some unknown purpose...but that's neither here nor there.If this was a comparison review, this particular model would win compared to everything I have used. Inexpensive. Loud. Accurate. Highly recommended.
