Customer Review: Good Product
Summary: 5 Stars
The Heath Zenith Basic Series Wireless Door Chime performs as advertised. Set up was very easy and the instructions were clear. It took about 35 minutes to install including time to set the type of chime, mounting the chime unit above a door, and mounting the doorbell/transmitter on the front door. I used screws to mount the doorbell, but the unit can also be mounted with the supplied two sided tape. I used this tape to mount a second doorbell on stucco where there was no wood available. One minor complaint about the unit, jumpers, like the ones used on old computer boards, are used to set everything. Switches would have been an improvement. But, as the instructions point out, most users won't have to move a jumper.
The doorbell claims to transmit a signal up to 150' through walls, windows, doors, etc. The operative word here is up to. What the instructions do not make clear is that any obstruction will reduce this distance. In our setup the doorbell transmits about 50' with no trouble. One aspect of this doorbell that you have to get used to is the delay. Press the button and there is about a 2 - 5 second delay before the chime sounds. The delay seems even longer with the second doorbell that I have set to chime once, as opposed to the front doorbell which chimes twice. Also, if the chime is pressed multiple times it seems to cancel out an earlier request to chime, but I didn't make an extensive test of this. This may also be the source of reviewers saying the bell only works about 50% of the time. However, the chime is loud and easy to hear all over our house.
I decide on the battery operated chime with wireless doorbell because I had no convenient AC outlet. If you have an AC outlet in just the right spot, the plug-in chime and wireless doorbell would probably be a better choice. Finally, I purchased the second doorbell through one of Amazon's third party vendors (BIC). The doorbell works fine. However, with shipping the doorbell was ~$13. Considering that the entire unit is just $19 this is a bit much. Unfortunately, even though I went to Amazon's web site to cancel the order immediately after I placed it, it was already being prepared and couldn't be cancelled. If you need a second doorbell, I would just order and entire second unit and use the chime as a backup.
Overall I am happy with this product and recommend it. However, if you are planning to transmit over 100' be aware there could be problems.

Description of Heath/Zenith SL-6153-C Wireless Battery-Operated Door Chime with Plastic Chime Cover, Off-White
If you need a doorbell but are a little nervous about doing your own wiring, then wireless is the way to go. With Heath Zenith's wireless doorbell systems, all you need to do is mount the doorbell and the chime-no electrical installation is needed.With the SL-6153, the volume of the chime is adjustable, and you can select one of three different chimes, and the two-inch magnetic speaker gives you a rich, true-sounding tone. You can select from 128 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.
The battery for the doorbell is included, along with all the mounting hardware you'll need. Note that you will have to supply three D batteries for the chime.--Josh Dettweiler
