Tools and Hardware Reviews of Mail Chime - Mail Alert
Customer Review: Not worth the $$$
Summary: 2 Stars
I owned this for about a year, during which time it worked on and off. Then the red light stopped working. There is no way to replace this red light because it is soldered onto the logic board, and is a special type of light anyway that is not designed to be replaced. You would think they would use a long lasting LED light, but I guess they figured cheaper is better (for them, not me).
When you open the mailbox and the mounted transmitter tilts, a little metal device inside moves and completes a circuit, which sends a signal to the base unit to make an audible chime and turn on the nice red light. I think this mechanical component may be the reason it didn't work very well in extreme cold. Perhaps it freezes and will not move, causing it to fail during winter months?
Needless to say, their customer support was of no use, so it has found its way into the garbage pail. I ended up paying about $1/week to know my mail had arrived (which I of course knew it would do anyway). Not a good use of my money. Don't make the same mistake I did.
I gave it two stars only because when it DID work, it was kind of neat. If they improve the quality, I might consider it in the future.
Description of Mail Chime - Mail Alert
The Mail Chime tells you when your mail has arrived. No more wasted trips to the mailbox in cold and wet weather. Simply mount the sensor on your mailbox door using double face tape (included) and plug the receiver into an electrical outlet anywhere in your home. When the mailbox door is opened, the sensor on the mailbox door sends a wireless signal to the Mail Chime in your home. The Mail Chime then alerts you by flashing a bright red LED light and four beeps that your mail has been delivered. It's the perfect solution for the Deaf, hard-of-hearing, the blind, low vision, individuals who find it difficult to walk, pregnant women, the elderly or people who are just plain busy! Comes with Mail Chime Receiver, sensor with 12-volt A23 battery installed, AC adapter, double-faced tape and instructions. Mail Chime measures 3-1/2" wide by 1-5/8" high. Receiver measures 1" high by 4-1/8" wide by 3-3/8" deep.Mailboxes Tools
