Tools and Hardware Reviews of Heath/Zenith SL-6166-C Wireless Plug-In Door Chime Kit with Molded Plastic Cover, White

Customer Review: They work fine. You just have to know how to use them.
Summary: 5 Stars

I own three of these. They seem to last about 4-5 years and then the receiver stops working, so they cost about $5 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.

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 4-5 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 4 years and one just 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.





Description of Heath/Zenith SL-6166-C Wireless Plug-In Door Chime Kit with Molded Plastic Cover, White

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
