Honeywell Home RCW101N1008/N Wired/Battery Powered Door Chime, White Finish

I was replacing a totally non-working doorbell because there was no wire for power. There was a wire for the doorbell outside, but not one to power the doorbell. I was very disappointed. So I went looking for a doorbell that was battery powered for wired doorbells. There is not a lot of choice. This was one of the few affordable options, because I was not going to run a wire to power this stupid thing.There are some annoying bad parts. That being these require 4 C batteries. The other bad part that I think someone else had mentioned, the contacts for the batteries are flimsy. They don't really hold the batteries in place.... that's what duct tape is for my friends.I replaced the old one over the door with this new one over the door and hope the batteries don't pop out and kill someone.Why 5 stars? I get a ding-dong, which is all I wanted and it didn't cost an arm and a leg.

Works like it should from about 30 feet away. Wish it was a little louder but for the money it works great!

Pros: It has a neat looking, and works as expected.Cons: the instructions of installation on the package are not clear. The chart of how to wire is confusing. It took me a while to figure out how to wire correctly. The delivery was slow. It arrived about 1 week after the promised delivery date, probably because it was the Thanksgiving week.

Set up was easy, works perfectly, no problems whatsoever. The only improvement that I would recommend would be that an access hole in the cover be provided for running the wire into it so that it could lay flat against the wall. The access hole in the back is fine if the wire leading into it comes out of a hole in the wall, but not so great if the wire comes through a window or a doorway and runs down the wall to it, like us amateurs are more apt to do.

Installed this item with fresh batteries. It is very soft and barely audible. It's not the batteries (I tested them with a multimeter).I would not recommend this item.Edit update: downgrading from 2 star to 1. This thing must have a massive parasitic current because it chews through batteries with no use whatsoever. Honeywell should be ashamed that they put their name on this product.

Very easy to install. Is loud enough for everyone to hear

It works and has a nice traditional chiming sound, but volume is fixed and it is much too quiet to be a recommend product - ie. I installed it in my kitchen, but can barely hear it in from the next room. I am running it off 6C Cell batteries.

This doorbell is actually pretty loud when installed and the cover put on it. I was pleasantly surprised.The problem is when the cover is put on the unit, you are able to see the plastic supports thru the cutouts.Why they couldn't make the cutouts smaller or move the supports so it is not seen is an issue for me.If not for that I would have given it 5 stars.
