Attractive doorbell
The doorbell and receivers are attractive and being black do not stand out. The range of chimes is too much for me as I only want a traditional ding dong. The volume is easy to adjust. I could not put the second receiver too far from the first or the transmitter as the range did not seem to cover that far.
Problems after 16 months. Contacted support who helped to get sorted again. Thank you
Had to pair again after 16 months, which was ok with instructions sent, but the leaflet could be MUCH clearer if it had said to stop at the point when pairing was complete.
Does the job
Loud enough to hear from the bottom of my garden. It says that there are loads of tunes but I haven’t tried to get them. First up was ding dong and that was all I required. Very pleased with produc
Great Customer Service
Love the product, good to get 2 receiver plugs as living in apartment, it is hard to hear knock on the fire door. Company got in touch to explain about registering warranty for 3 years, which was nice, my favorite chime was the dog bark, the apartment complex will be thinking I got a dog now Would definitely recommend this product and the price for it was real good, item was well packaged and Amazon posted product quickly as always.
Nice and loud
Easy to install. We just used the sticky tape thing. Did not bother drilling into the door frame. Lots of chimes we just opted for standard chime. Nice and loud. Have one plugged in dining room and one in lounge.
Grea
This was very easy to install. I replaced a similar one which only had one “ringer”. I went for the Tecknet brand again having been pleased with the first one.

Awesome bell system
Was looking for a system to deploy in an “out of ordinary” scenario, as a family member has just been discharged from hospital, and into a home cared environment, needed to emulate the call buzzer systems used in hospital environment, and this system was way up high in my choices due to the feature set, and more importantly the two receivers, allowing for notifications all around the property,
As for the front door, ah, visitors can keep knocking
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy set up great selection of sounds, 2 receivers plus 1 bell push.
It a door bell type device for announcing someone at the door!
Work very well and easy to install
These are very good. I like the volume control and ease of install. The only dislike is after one summer the door bell plastic changed colour to a musty cream and not the original light cream which looked nice.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wireless connectivity is excelle

5.0 out of 5 stars Door bell
Good quality, loud so can hear. Came with two boxes line upstairs one down.
It is pretty easy to install, no need to be an electrician specialist, neither to hire someone to install it for you.
We can easily move the spare one to a giving room in our home, when we are expecting an amazon delivery while not being in the main room of the house.
Unfortunately, after two months or so, it started to not work sometimes. We saw some delivery guys ringing the bell, but no sound coming out. Later on, we tested it our selves, and after 5 “button presses”, it had only ringed 2 of them.
Maybe the excess of rain and bad weather make it to require a strong press to work properly… Idk…
5.0 out of 5 stars Bell
Easy to install lots of tunes and ability to change volume two receivers which don’t constantly need new batteries in like my old one
4.0 out of 5 stars New Door Bell
Always had issues with signals in older stone house, but this set seems to work ok.
Great door bell
Bought fir a bungalow and works great. Plenty of different ring tones and the volume is perfect . Really way to install just plug them in ,stick or screw the button remove the battery strip and away you go.
Wireless doorbell.
Very good value. Easy to set up. Good range, as I have a workshop at the end of my garden, now I don’t miss anyone calling at my front door. Good ring volume, the only grumble is there are too many different chimes and in my view some very annoying ones, but each to their own! Would recommend this product.
4.0 out of 5 stars great chime
easy to install and easy to use. i have the chime in the garden cabin so i never miss a delivery
There is nothing wrong with this doorbell, it works fine and I just bought it for a second time because the one I bought in July 2018 had a receiver fail this week.
I am writing a detailed review here in case anyone else is thinking of buying this again, in case they find the old and new versions aren’t identical.
If you look at the reviews, a few people have reported a receiver failing and just beeping non-stop, which is what we found yesterday. We purchased the same item hoping this would give us 3 receivers, but despite all attempts to clear the pairing and re-pair the new receivers to the old doorbell, no luck.
The new receivers look identical to the old ones and the doorbell also looks the same, however they are far from identical:
The new receivers won’t pair with the old doorbell.
The old doorbell has the electronics on the part that fits on the wall and takes a battery that looks like a short AAA. The new doorbell has the electronics on the piece you take off the wall and takes a CR2032 battery.
All good I thought, let’s just unscrew the old doorbell from the wall and screw the new one in. Here’s where I have a problem, since the new screw holes are about 1/8″ closer together than the old ones, so they won’t fit into the old holes in the wall.
So back to using the old doorbell until I can drill another hole in the brickwork and fit the new one.
Hope this helps.
4.0 out of 5 stars V good product! Great value for money
Excellent product. Although wish that it could ring more loudly.
4.0 out of 5 stars Looks good
Competitor product broke down after two years, bell push malfunctioned. This set looks better, hope it lasts.
No Trouble in Connecting.
I wish that I had got one years ago, there is no problem in setting them up, all you have to do is sort out which tune you want and then PLUG in, Then the Bell Push Button is just stuck on the door frame outside and that is that, It is all ready to go.
Although I’ve had a door bell for forty years I never really heard it only my wife did. I thought I’d try changing the from an mains one to a battery chiming one. I quickly found out that these were out of fashion and the in thing was door bells plugged into the mains sockets. It literally took minutes to plug these in and stick the button onto the front door. To my surprise the first time it was used I heard it clearly. Now I know I should have done it earlier, and it was a really good buy and hope it last years.
So simple to set up.
Battery already in the bell push and just stuck it on the door jamb using the included 3M sticky pad ( the screw holes didn’t quite line up with the ones on our previous bell push so decided to stick it instead)
Can’t vouch for it being waterproof, time will tell, but the bell push looks compact and no gaps for water ingress.
The two receivers are small and slim and I plugged one into a socket in the hall and one in the kitchen. They worked straight off and I just had to adjust the volume and whether I wanted the units to flash as well as ring. The buttons for adjusting are just on the side of the receivers.
Haven’t tried the ringtones yet as the first one – a ding dong – was what we wanted but you apparently have 38 to choose from.
So simple but discreet and very pleased with it.
If you register online you can increase the 12 month guarantee to a 3 year one which was also straightforward.
Bad design and intermittent failure
One of the 2 chimes worked perfectly fine, the other took repeated attempts of pairing and unpairing and although I have it seemingly set up now after half an hour I am still not sure if I can trust it to actually ring or not as before even after pairing it just wouldn’t ring (whereas the other one was ringing every time). Not sure if it’s just faulty or bad design and there was something else wrong with it. Also, if you change the tune (whether by accident or on purpose) and you want to return back to the normal one, you have to cycle through every single one of them and they will be blasting at full volume while doing so. I get they were trying to keep the design simple but it just makes it incredibly non user friendly. Same for the volume control, but at least there are only 4 different options so cycling through is not quite as bad. Either way, cannot really recommend overall but as a temporary measure until I can afford something more decent I guess it will do.
Edit: The seller has since contacted me in an attempt to resolve the issue I was facing and to provide a solution, so I have now amended the rating to reflect this. Overall, the product was working in the end it was just very frustrating for me to set up and not working when it should’ve been straight away. It is reassuring though, that the seller would be willing to try and resolve issues and provide solutions in case of any problems. My feedback regarding the design issues above remains valid so something to be aware of if you decide to purchase this doorbell.
Easy to install, works as it should across a three story house perfectly. However the tunes, and there are lots to choose from, could do with a bit of an update. Some of those sounds should come with a health warning . I did however finally find peace with the chimes of Big Ben.
Good and loud
Good and loud. Still working a year on. I will say there are too many options for melodies. You don’t need that many options and there’s only one button to cycle through!
Good bell
The only issue is that when you chose the melody as your ring tone it’s plays its for a while until it ends so it’s difficult to hear/talk to someone in door frame. If you chose simple ring there is no issues
Works brilliantly.
Bought this when the original electric doorbell to my house decided to work part time.
When it arrived I sat looking at it for a few days expecting it to be difficult to get the bell ring to what I wanted which was just a plain old door bell sound.
When I finally took the plunge and decided to run through all the different versions of the bell sound I was surprised to find the one I wanted was the very first one on both the bell plugs. Once I’d set those to work I just used the self adhesive backing to place the bell push on my door frame and after I have painted the frame next Spring I will then attach it with the screws.
Great doorbell and really good value.
This is a great product, really easy to install but the only thing I would say is that it lacks more basic door bell sounds. It has one classic door bell sounds then the rest are musical tunes which could be great for some but I thought it would have a few more options.
Really easy to install simple plug and play really helps having two plus so can hear it allover the house.
Having missed a couple of Royal Mail deliveries, I wanted a doorbell that would be loud enough and one where I could put the second bell in the garage. These work well and just plug in – so no batteries to faff about with. I would have given 5 stars if it was easier to select between the 38 different ringtones without having to remember which one you prefer. You can have a different ringtone for each bell which I like. Installation takes just a moment.
Very easy to fit, worked immediately.
I bought this set for my father’s door.
They didn’t need any setting up – I just plugged the speakers into a couple of wall sockets and they worked immediately – quite LOUD, and they flash as well. There is the option to have flash-only, sound only, or both. We left it at the default setting, which is both.
The push button thingy for the door worked as soon as I had removed the cover from the internal battery.
I could have fitted it straightaway with the double-sided sticky pad provided, but these things tend to loosen over time, so I preferred to ease the back off, screw it to the door frame, then click the front into place on it. Not difficult, and screws/plugs are provided too – you just need to drill a few holes – 2 into the back of the unit, and 2 into the door frame/wall.
My only niggle is that the push button doesn’t make any sound, or light up when you press it, in other words, a caller doesn’t know whether it has worked, and we all know how many doorbells are not working at any time – it’s just the way it is.
Luckily, one of my father’s speakers is just on the other side of his front door, and it can be heard through the door, so that sorts it.
All-in-all, not bad for the price.
