Tools and Hardware Reviews of Heath/Zenith SL-6166-C Wireless Plug-In Door Chime Kit with Molded Plastic Cover, White
Customer Review: Unreliable puts it mildly
Summary: 1 Stars
It seemed fine at first, right up until the return time elapsed. Sneaky thing. Well, almost fine. The battery sits a bit loose in the pushbutton unit, so when attaching it, the battery slid a bit and I needed to remove, adjust, and reattach. It worked. As I said, worked fine for a little over a month. Then it started working about half the time. Then it rained heavily and it started working all the time... as in ringing without being actually touched. Maybe something in the unit swelled? I had to unplug the receiver until things dried out.
I've just changed out the battery in hopes of it working. I went through the "adjust battery, snap in place, remove to adjust shift caused by snapping in place" dance again, but then it worked. But after a few pushes over a few days, the battery has apparently slid out of place again. Off to buy one with a better rating.
Customer Review: VERY short life - a waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
Like many other reviewers noted; this doorbell is a piece of garbage, a total waste of money.
My doorbell button was located in the carport, completely out of the weather. It worked very good at first... even at a distance of about 30 feet, in a bedroom, without a clear line of sight.
Mine lasted no more than 2 months:
- it started randomly ringing, as if a ghost is at your door (get out of bed for nothing)
- new batteries made no difference (expensive little things)
- testing at short distance: still no good
Summary: It doesn't work at all now, a useless product on it's way to the landfill. I do NOT like throwing away money (chime & new batteries) So, here I go once again in search of a decent doorbell.
Be well, Jeff
Customer Review: Zenith Wireless Door Bell/Chime
Summary: 1 Stars
I am very disappointed. The product works only about 50% of the time; it is most unreliable (not good for a door bell). The Range is weak and not as advertised. I would recommend not buying this productCustomer Review: happy with our doorbell
Summary: 5 Stars
To avoid electrical work in an older home, a wireless doorbell is the way to go. I've been happy with this product since day one. Installation was simple, it's not an eye sore, and it's nice to have the chime plugged into the wall to minimize battery replacement. Our chime is about 40 feet from the button, and it transmits wonderfully through two walls. I am very pleased with this product.Customer Review: junk
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm on my third one (heath/zenith is all home depot carries).
On the last two, the outside transmitter didn't last longer than the battery. The first one's electronics died. The second one fell apart in my hands while I was changing out the battery -- the plastic had degraded.
