Honeywell RCWL300A1006 Premium Portable Wireless Doorbell / Door Chime and Push Button

I love these doorbells. I have a large house and have tired a lot of doorbells. A wired doorbell is not practicable, and costly in my case. I last tried the SadoTech Model C doorbells, ordered several sets, but very disappointed to learn they come as is, not programmable to add more receivers or push buttons. With SadoTech, what you get is what you get.Hard coded and not customizable at all for adding more buttons and or ringer/receivers.Returned the SadoTech doorbells to Amazon.Now for the Honeywell review...What I love about these Honeywell doorbells is that they are fully customizable for homes needing many receivers or homes with many doors needing to have several push buttons.Also, the receivers have great sounding tones, several tones to chose from, some long playing tones (which I like), receivers are wall mountable with tape or screws, and what I love is they are battery operated.I personally Do NOT like receivers that are A/C wall outlet powered because the receiver takes up a wall outlet AND A/C electrical wall outlets are located near the floor so the tone receiver when plugged in, is low near the floor area. Not the best location for spreading that doorbell sound around the home.A higher wall mounted receiver/tone box is going to cover more area with sound. More easily heard.These Honeywell doorbell sets have visual indicators (light-up icons), as well as the different tone chimes, also one can completely turn down the chime ring and go only by the flashing light-up indicator, if needed. As in the baby room.And the visual indicators ( 3 light-up icons on this model ) can be customized for a back-door visitor, front-door visitor, or a 3rd icon indicator for use in a needy persons room when they need attention.A lot of customizability ability indeed.The doorbell receiver is plenty LOUD, battery operated 3-AA batteries (not included, however). The push button itself uses a round CR2032 battery (included in the set).You can buy additional spare of these thin flat round silver CR2032 batteries from almost any store carrying batteries.Commonly available. Many camcorders use this same battery, and most PC motherboards use this same CR2032 battery.The push-button doorbell itself has a lighted indicator that briefly lights an amber color when the button is pushed.Good, because it tells the visitor that the button is working.And you can add additional push buttons and or additional Honeywell Doorbell Sets to cover a large home or a home with more than your average 2 outside doors. You can have a receiver upstairs, downstairs, or receivers on every levels of the home. Even a receiver in the backyard sauna, gazebo, garage, where ever needed. Just add more sets.If you have an ill or needy person living in the house requiring assistance, you could have a push button for their assistance.And you can customize the chime receiver(s) to chime differently when the back door is pressed, or the front door pressed, and or someone inside needing assistance that has a button of their own.I personally bought two complete sets of the Honeywell doorbells units to cover the areas needed in my home, and the included push buttons, one each for the two main outside doors.Discovering how well the system worked, I will need to buy another set to cover the entire house and all the outside doors.So far, very happy and impressed with the doorbell system from Honeywell.Range covers the entire house, and did not need to have the house hard wired for a doorbell system.That would be the last option if this Honeywell system(s) fail, or develop issues.

I just bought one of these, having read many of the reviews. Here's my reaction with those reviews in mind:In general, this is an elegant device: very attractive and great-sounding (loud and clear, even when wall-mounted). It comes with a manual that's actually written in English. One caveat: the wall bracket illustration (Fig. 7) is drawn up-side down.Now a few specifics:1. To mount the push button using screws instead of the two-sided tape, yes, you will have to drill holes in the plastic. No big deal! The hole positions are clearly defined and the plastic is soft, so there is no danger of cracking. Use a 5/32" drill. And the screw heads ARE the correct size. Just be sure to use the right screws (it comes with two sets of screws).2. When prying the push button case open, use a screwdriver with a blade large enough to fill the slot. And, since there is a slot at each end, use the one that will be facing down, just in case you accidentally scratch the plastic.3. The battery compartment and front access panel of the receiver unit open easily and do not require being pried open with a screwdriver.4. When testing the unit, be aware that there is a recovery time required after each try. You need to wait a few seconds between trys. If you push the button repeatedly at too-short intervals, you will get the impression that the unit is only working some of the time.5. While I agree that the volume control might have been more easily accessible as one reviewer pointed out, it is not difficult to use. It happens to be slotted, and therefore easily turned with a screwdriver and probably a dime. Also the orientation of the slot gives a very clear indication of how the volume has been set.6. This is the best-sounding electronic door chime I've ever come across. I left the volume control at the factory setting and can hear it throughout my two-story apartment with music playing. Of course, louder (or softer) sound levels can be set if desired.7. Distance from transmitter to receiver is about 30' with a few walls in between, but no metal. As an experiment I just moved the receiver to the other end of the living room, for a total of 50', and it worked perfectly.8. The push button action is smooth and positive with a definite click. It does not require a great deal of pressure. And there is a confirming indicator that illuminates after contact has been made. By the way, I would suggest using a Sony battery (CR2032) from the outset rather than the one supplied.Having owned other brands, with which I have been extremely dissatisfied, I would highly recommend this little gem.

Bought this a few days ago. I was almost tempted to buy one of the many cheaper models but the reviews were so up and down I decided against it and paid the extra money for this thing.It's exactly what I needed. I live in townhouse with no doorbell...and they will not allow us to alter anything on the property. Most of my time is spent on the second floor of my home so It is VERY hard to hear if somebody is knocking. I'm an avid Amazon shopper so I've been playing the "I wonder if UPS will knock loud enough for me to hear it" game for the past few months. I even started putting notes on the door asking them to "Bang on the door". A few did, a few didn't, but my neighbors didn't really appreciate UPS going to town on my door. So, wireless doorbell to the rescue!This thing is great. It shipped with one button and one receiver. The button came with a battery and mounting tape. The receiver comes with a bracket for mounting to your wall. I used the mounting tape to place the button on my door and it seems to be holding up very well. It's been super cold the past week or so and the button is still on there with no signs of coming loose. The receiver was placed upstairs between my two bedrooms on a shelf. The unit is stylish enough to place in the open but I prefer to keep it hidden. The distance between the button and receiver is about 20 feet with a wall in between. The receiver has a volume control knob so you can make any of the tones as quiet or loud as you'd like. Just to test the range, I took the receiver to a neighboring home about 100ft away. It worked just as well there as it did in my home.TLDR; Avoid the cheaper models, Buy this.
