Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell RCWL330A1000/N P4-Premium Portable Wireless Door Chime and Push Button
Customer Review: Great Wireless Door Chime!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the 2nd wireless door chime I bought. The first one was NOT a Honeywell and it never worked right. Needless to say, I returned it.
So, I did extensive research before purchasing this one. And I am SO impressed - it is great! The choice of 6 chimes is nice. And I love the ability to set different sounds for different doors. The volume is pretty loud (I am slightly hearing impaired so I have it turned up all the way. It could be a bit louder for me...but I think it's fine for most people).
As mentioned by other reviewers, it would be nice if it came with 2 doorbells (instead of 1) but I didn't mind spending the extra $9.99 for another doorbell since this chime/1 doorbell set was only $38. Great price! We use it for the front and side doors.
Just to increase the volume a bit more, it might help if the speaker was on the front, instead of in the back (and slightly muted when you mount the chimes on the wall). But it's still pretty loud compared to most. And the flashing light is really a plus!! It's SO bright, it reflects off the walls & ceiling.
The only negative is, although it allows you to connect other "systems" to it, the instructions do not explain how to do that at all or what type of systems and where to get them. I also tried the Honeywell website and still could not figure out how they work (like the "phone" system). But that's not really what I bought this for...I just needed a good, loud wireless doorbell system that works. And it does! So, it's not really a negative since it does exactly what I purchased it for.
Anyway, this doorbell works so well, I have already recommended it to a friend.
Customer Review: Love this doorbell

This thing worked out of the box (once batteries were installed) and the push button installed easily into the post of my wooden gate (2 screws and it was done).
I put a deadbolt on my fence gate for security reasons, so visitors must ring the bell on the gate to let me know they have arrived. I have placed the door chime on the 2nd floor of my 3 story townhouse. The door push is located on the gate in front of my home on the 1st/main level. The bell rings without fail when pushed even though the 2 components are what I would consider to be a fair distance apart.
I like the different chime options and the volume adjustment. I keep the volume set fairly high so that I can hear the bell from the garage on the 1st floor, or my bedroom on the 3rd.
If there is anything that this unit lacks, it is a lighted push so that visitors who are not standing in front of a front door and cannot hear the doorbell chime coming from inside the house are at least aware that the button is in fact working. A lighted push would be one way to indicate to visitors who can't hear the muted sound of a doorbell coming from the house, that a doorbell did sound off somewhere and someone is on their way to open the door. The lack of a lighted push does not take away from the fact that this is a quality product, however.
The long and short of it is this: this is an inexpensive and perfect solution for where ever a doorbell may be needed.
Customer Review: Well worth it

This went on sale during a Gold Box deal a while back and I missed it. It popped up again in Gold Box recently and I grabbed it. The wired doorbell we had went on the blink, only producing a really annoying buzz when activated, so I replaced that one with this one and it works great. It is plenty loud enough to be heard throughout our two-story home, and I like the fact I can put the main "ringer" part most anywhere out of sight and take it outside if we are all in the backyard and expecting company.
Two things to keep in mind: 1) Even though it states this in the description, remember that it needs four "C" batteries that are not included, so if you want to play with it as soon as it arrives, buy these ahead of time. The flat battery for the push-button is included. 2) If you plan to permanently mount the push-button outside, a drill with a small bit will come in handy. The screw holes on the push-botton need to be punched out and they are offset, so it will not line up with the same screw holes you find on most wired push-buttons, which are usually vertically placed, directly aligned on top of one another. I am not sure how long the push-button will last outside; only time will tell.
I do recommend this product. It set up easily, worked perfectly, and even provided a little family entertainment as we played the various tunes and debated which one we would select!
Customer Review: So far so good!

We had a wired doorbell whose transistor finally died. Our plans were to replace it, but some idiot put it behind two stud beams. Our options were to pay an electrician to come out and rewire a new one (goodbye $300) or buy a wireless doorbell. After researching several, we decided that this one had the best reviews and to give it a try. Thank goodness we did!
We were able to get this installed and setup within minutes. It was simple to program and the second push button we got was also a breeze to connect. The bell is loud enough to hear all throughout the house and I can finally tell if someone is at the back door or the front thanks to the various programmable rings. I also didn't realize that I could connect this device to various motion detectors and phones - though I have not tried that feature yet. I'm not a fan of the blue flashing light, but it's a nice feature to have for people who are hearing impaired (and you can turn the light off if you want). I love the fact that I can remove it from it's wall holster and take it with me. That makes working in the basement much easier.
Overall I am very pleased with this bell. I'm not sure what the battery life is yet, but I will update on here when I finally had to replace them.
Customer Review: Does what it says, Honeywell RCW330A1000/N Door Chime

I recieved my new door chime today it seems to work according to details given on Amazon's web site. Although I don't plan to carry it around the yard with me, it does seem activate door chime from all 4 locations of my home. I liked the wall hanger that came with unit making it easy to grab and take outside with you(although I can't see for the life of me why this would be useful. I mean if there's a party going on and no-one answers the door bell, common sense would tell me to look around, including behind the house.) but it definitly does the job for inside the house. I also read that connecting the push button to a metalic could weaken its signal and of course I had too see for myself, sure enough it does but my cure for this was adding a piece of wood between the two surfaces. I also see that the base unit has a jack for a 6v adapter to plug in which in my opinion can do nothing less than strenghten the units signal. In any event I'm very satisfied with my purchase and I'll keep everyone posted on its operation as the unit ages. Good Luck on future purchases everyone, I wish nothing short of success!! Thanks Amazon,I am definitly a happy camper !!!!
