RDWL917AX2000/E Doorbell Portable Wireless Doorbell & Push Button-9 Series, Blue,Grey

I don't write reviews often but this deserves one. If you want the best very high quality well designed doorbell forget the numerous cheap electronic doorbells with 52 "songs", they ALL sound VERY cheap and tacky. I'm gonna save you the wasted time of getting one of those and having to return it. This one has very high quality sound with no compromises. Can be very soft to very loud. Has 8 included rings (mostly useful, several different ding-dongs, great Westminster chimes, piano riff, etc, hear 'em at yourhome.honeywell.com/S9) and you can actually download any mp3 sound or music file at all (lots of free mp3 sounds avail on web like big dog barking, wind chimes, music, anything at all) and it will play up to 15 seconds of it as an additional ring choice. When button is pushed, button itself lights to confirm press, and the doorbell box outer color ring flashes in any color of several choices. It can also flash 2 small low power white strobes on the top. You can optionally turn off the color ring flashing and/or the strobes if you want to. The lights continue to flash for a few seconds in case you have that "Did I just hear the doorbell?" visual confirmation or when there's loud music or TV on. If you attach more than one button like I did (you can up to have 6 or use add'l proprietary sensors or such but I don't), you can have each button be either the same or different ring tone and/or flashing ring color. I have the front door on a plain old ding-dong ring with blue flashing and my side door with different ring with green flashing. You could even use another extra button(s) as a call button for a bedridden person's caretaker alert in addition to it being your doorbell with different colors and ring tones for each button. You can even program a 2nd secret ring tone from the any button(s) triggered by 3 quick pushes (like for urgent or "It's me" or whatever). Very cool. Range on this top line model is very good. They say 450'. I have the main doorbell button mounted on the outside of a solid wrought iron gate post outside in front and it has to transmit through the solid iron, through front glass and metal door, and through the main door and it reliably triggers the doorbell every time anywhere I put the box inside my 2700 sq ft 2 story house with no glitches. I got the battery one for easy portability (5 years on 4 C cells) but they also make this as a wall plugin model I believe. If you don't want the mp3 download ability, there's a cheaper one that does all this except mp3 (but it specified less range, may or may not be a factor for you). Hope this helps you stop wasting time looking for the best doorbell! Look no further.

This is THE perfect doorbell. Our old wired one was super outdated (like, had the huge long chimes) so when it was time for a new one, I knew I wanted something wireless, digital. We are also expecting our first child in just over a month, and so wanted something that could be muted for when baby is napping, otherwise our dogs go NUTS. I also wanted something that would allow me to pick a simple tone so the dogs wouldn't recognize it when it DID ring. This checks all of my boxes, and THEN some. It mutes, and the volume is adjustable so it can play really softly when you want it to. It's portable, so you can take it with you if you're going to be somewhere unusual but you're still expecting someone (outside, downstairs, garage, etc.) That's nice too because if it's on mute, you can have it light up when it rings so you can keep an eye out for the light rather than the sound. Awesome. Takes four huge batteries, but I found out it ALSO runs when plugged into the wall.. perfect! Important to note that the USB chord it comes with is in the battery compartment.. I didn't realize this when it arrived and I called the company thinking it hadn't been included. I love that it can be synched with other units, so you can add more buttons or more receiving units, if needed. Awesome for when we finish our basement. Perhaps my favorite thing is the custom tones you can download to it.. seriously, how cool is THAT? I had a nursery tone when we had our baby shower, and I just downloaded some fun Halloween and Christmas ones. So easy to use and so fun to customize. It's great too because I can choose ones that don't actually sound like a doorbell, so my dogs don't recognize it and start barking. If I ever want a "normal" tone, I can find one and pick that.. doesn't have to be a doorbell sound. I previously purchased one with 52 tones and they were all HORRIBLE. They were all long songs and like 5 simple chimes and didn't like any of them. What a waste of time and money. I returned that and got this one. Don't bother getting any other one! This is perfect.. highly recommended

Great doorbell works as described.

I like the ability to add any mp3 as an additional ringtone. The unit itself seems nicely built. Installation is easy enough; the doorbell button went right where my old one was and is screwed in not taped as some. If you are wall mounting the main unit it takes more time, say 30 minutes to plan the location, drill the holes, etc. Volume seems adequate. I can understand that for the hearing impaired the light function could be nice, but I don't need that yet. A store owner might appreciate the motion detection function so he could be alerted when someone enters the shop. Dislikes: Well the wireless range is ok but sensitive to position. I was hoping to be able to set it on a picnic table on my back porch so we could hear it when working in the yard; nope. It's only a 50' range and only has to go through the door and a window, but nada. However, by experimenting I found that it would work when paced even further away with more partitions in the way. My conclusion was that the signal from the button is weakest when the unit is aligned directly with it. So if you are thinking of using this in a remote location, beware of positioning. My other dislike is that this thing has so many buttons on the side and top that it's almost impossible to pick it up without changing some setting. The only practical way to grab it is to spread your hand around it and grasp the sides or top and bottom with your fingers. When you do that you are bound to press the buttons which can cause the bell to mute, change the tune, change the light pattern, etc. Then you have to spend time figuring out what you did and how to reset it. All in all, I will probably keep it.

5star for seller, who give me a refund because doorbell didn’t ring first or second time when pressed I think it it common fault with these doorbells shame really.

El timbre funciona bastante bien, utiliza un par de baterías tamaño “c” (no incluida), el alcance en feria es bastante bueno. La ventaja que le veo es que al utilizar baterías lo puedes acomodar en el lugar que mejor te convenga sin cables o extensiones, el volumen es bastante bueno y configurable, otra ventaja que se le puede agregar archivos mp3 para personalizar el tono. El interruptor es bastante fácil de instalar.

Loud sound and works very well.

La verdad esta bueno el timbre, no me ha fallado y es muy sencillo de utilizar simplemente pones baterias y listo OJO bateria tipo C 4 son requeridas y no viene en la caja. el rango es increible lo he dejado a distancia de 10 metros y sigue sonando sin problema ponerle MP3s es muy bueno muy divertido.

I have a short in the system and to replace the chime itself would cost as much as this unit. This gives me volume and a variety of chimes to chose from. Set up was really easy as was mounting the button. We will have to see how long the batteries will last but it will vary on how long and what options are used with the ringer. The lights and the flash are a novelty as with all the kids connected to their electronics and plugged in, the house is not as noisy as before. LOL
