Tools and Hardware Reviews of Heath/Zenith SL-6166-C Wireless Plug-In Door Chime Kit with Molded Plastic Cover, White
Customer Review: Ask Not for Whom the Bell Tolls...
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Reliable and not annoying.

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.
Customer Review: Pleased

After reading many reviews about this wireless doorbell, I was a tad skeptical. But, I have been online enough to realize most people complain rather than take the time to compliment; so I take the negative commments with a grain of salt.
I just installed mine and it was so easy that alone pleased me. I have a front and back door, so the two buttons worked great. Westminister chime on the front door and one ding on the back door. Sweet. I at least know which door to answer!
So far, everything works fine. I have wireless Internet, a wireless alarm system and the wireless door bell works fine as well.
At the price, even if it doesn't last all that long it is still worth it.
Customer Review: happy with our doorbell
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Easy to Install

I needed something that would alert me when someone was at the door. This item does just that. Its very easy to assemble, and install. It comes with batteries, and works perfectly. I can hear it in every room of my house when it is used. I would recommend this item if you are looking for a cheap, yet efficient doorbell.
