Our Hobby Shop is detached from the house, where our main receiver is located. We work out there fairly often, so we needed another receiver in the Shop to let us know whenever visitors enter our driveway. We recently purchased another receiver from 1-800-doorbell, and it, too, works perfectly, just like the main unit, even though it's about 100 feet farther away from the transmitter. This is a great USA-made system.

I purchased a doorbell system to be used in a nontraditional manner. I wanted a reliable, high quality communication system to be used in my elderly parent’s, large home so my parents could alert me if they needed help. I found the website and phone call support to be extremely helpful in choosing a versatile system that we could adapt to my parent’s home. I even attached magnets to the back side of the doorbells so my parents can wear their door bells on their clothing. I also have two doorbells placed in the bathrooms of the house for extra assurance so they can call me, if they need help. I have peace of mind knowing that if I am on the second floor of their house and my mother is in the basement doing laundry, she can push her doorbell and I will hear it. I can then go to her location and ascertain that she is safe and then assist her. My mom loves wearing her doorbell attached to her camisole. I think she feels safer with it. My dad loves to sit outside and watch the birds. I know he can alert me if he needs assistance outside. Thank you for providing peace of mind to my family.

This doorbell is definitely not what we'd expected. We both were pleased with the doorbell once we opened the package. It has weight to it... not at all like a plastic or acrylic piece, but actually metal. We ordered the classic bronzed option. It was easy to install. The center protrudes from the back about 1/4" and we didn't have a hole in the exterior wall that size so my husband made a base and drilled a hole to put behind the button so it would fit flush. It actually matched the same style of wood that our porch light was mounted on. Once my husband finished installing (he did NOT turn off the power due to low voltage) the light around the button illuminated and looked INCREDIBLY CLASSY!!! WOW!! Never thought I'd say a doorbell puts the finishing touch to our front porch decor, but it is a purchase we are VERY satisfied with.

My Dakota long-range driveway monitor was relatively easy to set up. The motion sensor actually has the option for longer range than advertised which allows me to monitor a doorway on a storage facility along with the driveway. I've only been using Dakota system for 10 days and it detected all of the traffic and no false signals. My only regret is that I didn't have one sooner.

This little plug in doorbell is plenty loud. Most of the 52 “rings” are music that wouldn’t work for anyone who is hard of hearing, but if you need it, there’s even a ring that sounds like a large dog barking. The one thing that would make it better for us is if it had a battery back-up.

It took about 3 weeks to be delivered but I don’t think that is your fault. Covid-19 has slowed deliveries and I live in Canada. But when I called you, I got a quick response. I also got good service when I first enquired about your product. It has now arrived and I have tried it. It works great!. I’m using it on an outdoor gate for truckers to ring when they have deliveries. The switch is at it’s maximum distance of about 400’. When I walked it a little further away, it stopped working. But in fairness, it does need to go through concrete walls, a drywall partition and a steel tank area. It’s installed in a cluttered noisy environment but the sound carries well. The strobe could be a little brighter but it’s ok. I’d like to experiment with adding more switches, zones and alarms. I’m sure there will be more applications that come up where I can use this product.

I chose this doorbell to go in my Florida coastal-style home. I liked that it was wood and could be painted or stained to go with my decor - much better than the cheap-looking plastic ones I could have gotten at a big-box store. While it is a little bigger than I would have liked, it will blend well when painted. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.

Unfortunately, the doorbell button we ordered didn’t work for us. When we contacted the company about the problem, the service they provided was outstanding. I would recommend doing business with 1800Doorbell.

The screws in my doorbell were so tight I stripped one taking it out. I called to ask about a replacement and the representative was gracious and thoughtful. I received notice within hours that my new doorbell was in the mail.

Easy to set up. We actually ended up just using velcro to attach the transmitter above the door, it was faster for us at the moment. We just left the default sound on one door and it works just fine. We’ll Miley be ordering more transmitters for more doors.

Good LED replacement buttons have been hard to find and incandescent buttons just don't last that long. I bought this to replace an early LED replacement that I had bought at Loews about 5 years ago..not only had the light become dim but it developed a unappealing purplish hue. The new button is well made, and has an attractive amber light that glows from the periphery of the button through a translucent lens. Overall a big improvement.

Although designed as a business bell, we have found it to be very useful for our small charter school, especially for deliveries. The ability to choose the volume and tone were key components we appreciated. The device was very well-packaged and delivery was prompt.

We originally started to look on Amazon, found mixed reviews on multiple doorbells. Pricing was just slightly higher with 1800doorbell but we could be happier with the seamless use, integration of a second chime and knowing customer service is just a dial away unlike other e-stores! Great product, fair price, will buy again id ever needed

Overall the product is awesome and we achieved what we set out to do with it. Only gripe is I guess my fault, I thought you could trigger multiple zones on 1 receiver with 1 button but as far as I could tell each button can only trigger 1 zone luckily the strobe has a very small draw and we wired the strobe and siren to 1 zone with no issue.

I recently installed soundproofing to my Voiceover studio, and it is now so quiet that I could not hear the doorbell. Neither could the dog. I have relied on him to hear the chime in the past. I bought a doorbell extender with a remote strobe. I have the strobe plugged into a power strip in the studio and it flashes brilliantly when the doorbell rang. No chime to mess up a recording, or the dog barking. This strobe has been a wonderful addition. The installation and testing took about a half an hour. I had to video record the strobe because I couldn’t get from the front door into the studio to see the strobe. I have a video record of the strobe flashing. Thank you, 1800! Doorbell. This is a great product. Logan Farrar

We needed a way to lock our gym doors during programs but to alert us when other students showed up late or parents were arriving for pick up. These worked perfect! Once the doorbell is pressed, the receivers ring in the gym (along with a flashing light) signaling us to go to the door to greet, do a temperature scan, then return to gym floor. Thanks for the assist.

We have a lot of geckos and other assorted lizards running around our house and sunning themselves on the deck, and so a gecko doorbell made perfectly good sense. Very well made and looks very nice. High quality.

The product was purchased as a replacement for the home's original doorbell that had developed a consistent buzz. Delivery was prompt and the product arrived in excellent condition. Although there were some complications installing the new item over the footprint of the original, the doorbell works and looks great.

I'm hard-of-hearing, so I needed something I can either see or hear, or both. This is perfect because I can have that. Plus, I can move the receiver (bell) around if needed just by unplugging and plugging back in. Very convenient and bright

I ordered a doorbell from 1809 doorbell the process was easy and simple. I haven’t received my item yet but I’m sure it will be amazing when I get it.

needed an alert or call system in my wood shop when I was needed at the front counter about 200 feet away. This system worked great having audible and strobe notification. In case the wood tools covered the alarm sound the strobe light easily got my attention. No wires to run, very little setup time, saved my a lot of labor and works just great. Expandable to 4 zones. Thanks! great product

I've had a driveway alarm for many years. It's always served as kind of a security system the way my house is built you cannot see who's at the door until you open the door. So with the driveway alarm I have a chance to look out to see who it is before I answer the door. I had had a different kind of driveway alarm that ran off of vibration got lots of false signals. I really like this one so far because when it goes off someone is definitely in the driveway so easy to put together and get into service. Was shipped quickly happy so far

I placed an order for a Motion Activated Business Ready Entrance Alert Kit with Extended Long Range Wireless on a Tuesday night and followed up with a phone call to 1800DoorBell on Wednesday morning. I called to verify that I had properly ordered everything that I would need to install this system. The person I spoke to asked all the right questions and pointed out that one of the items I ordered was unnecessary but that I would need another item to have the system perform as I wanted. She was able to change the order for me immediately and still get it out the door and in my hands Friday. I purchased the system for my mother-in-law, who lives alone, and had intruders enter her shed. She was very upset and wanted to prevent this from happening again. I wanted the alarm so that intruders would find her shed very unwelcome due to the loud alarm and flashing lights. I found the alarm very easy to install. It worked exactly as expected, no muss, no fuss. My mother-in-law is happy which means my wife is happy, which means that I am happy. Thank you 1800DoorBell for offering this excellent product and for being so wonderfully helpful. I would eagerly do business with this company again!
