Tools and Hardware Reviews of GE 19209 Wireless Door Chime with Two Push ButtonsCustomer Review: Poor reviews for most low end wireless doorbells Summary: 3 Stars
Not just here on Amazon, but at Lowes & Home Depot too.
Apparently they tend to stop working out of the blue, give false rings or stick.
As a result, rather than spend $15-25, I opted for a $4.90 unit including shipping from Hong Kong on flea bay from a seller with 25,000 transactions and 99.4% positive feedback. And, I found a half dozen buyers of this unit that seemed happy with it initially anyway.
It hasnt gotten here yet. And it uses two AA batteries in the chime, which has 16 sounds. The 2 buttons use 12V 23A batterys which are included but the two AAs are not. (Good because I keep AAs around. Dont keep the 12 volts.
Its warranty is effectively worthless as its only 30 days and you have to return the item on your own dime. which would be probably $3. But, most units either work or are DOA anyway.
But, I figure for $4.90 each, I can go through several of them before spending what I would have for the GM or one of the models at Lowes or HD.
One downside about ordering from Hong Kong is shipping can take 8-25 days. And I have boguht batteries that have taken as little as 8 days and as long as 24.
But, Im a tightwad and I like squeezing a dollar.
My plan is to only use one button at a time which should give me 2 years of battery life for the 12v 23a's that are included.
And, if it quits, well, I havent had a working doorbell for 2 months now, I'll live. They also make them with 2 doorbells as opposed to 2 buttons but they are a few $ more.
"Wireless Remote Control Doorbell + 2 x Button #266" is what I bought a few days ago. Hopefully, it will be worth the $5 and 2 week wait.
