  • "It has good different volume for bell. Good sound."
  • "You can set the volume, and it gets plenty loud."
  • "The volume on the receiver is certainly loud enough to hear in the room in which it's contained."
  • "I love the fact that the volume is nice and high and there are multiple doorbell charms which she can hear better than others."
  • "The ring is loud enough to hear it throughout my house."
  • "You can adjust the volume and the music with 2 side buttons... NO APP REQUIRED! it also gets loud.. like really loud."

Cons:

  • "Unfortunately it is not loud enough for most of my classes."
  • "In some parts of the house, the ringing cannot be easily heard."
  • "Additionally, the volume is limited and difficult to hear in a three bedroom home."
  • "I’m sitting right next to this plugged in watch tv at a normal level and you can’t hear it."
  • "This is quiet for what I want it to be."
  • "Could be a bit louder."
  • "Just wish it could be a tad bit louder for when they're really loud haha."

Installation and Setup

Pros:

  • "This doorbell was so easy to install and it is very loud which is great if you're on opposite sides if the house or in backyard you can hear this bell loud and clear."
  • "Very simple set up and the directions were easy to follow."
  • "I bought this for my rental property & installed it myself in about 20 minutes! My tenants love it!"
  • "The doorbell just needs to be plugged in. Piece of cake!!"
  • "Unpackaged it. Put batteries in the button. Found a good spot outside the door and mounted it with the provided 2 way tape. Plugged the ding dong thing into a central location. Done. Took 60 seconds."
  • "Installation was super easy."
  • "So easy to install."

Cons:

  • "The instructions are not easy to understand."
  • "The only help you get for asking, is to use the adhesive pad that comes with it. Why not instructions on opening it and using screws for mounting? Why include screws at all, if no instructions on how to mount with the screws?"
  • "The directions for set up are not very clear."
  • "The button is wide, so mounting on a narrow doorframe will be a challenge."
  • "I just wish the plug wasn’t centered because it covers two outlets to use it."
  • "The only minor issue is that the sounds have to be scrolled through, either forward or backwards, in consecutive order."
  • "The only downside is that the product is black and thus there is no way to indicate which button is for which room."

Design and Features

Pros:

  • "Love that it is wireless, just plug into the socket inside and it works!"
  • "This doorbell has a much nicer design and more options for tones and volumes than one we bought recently at Home Depot."
  • "It’s all compact but reasonably sized."
  • "I put one of these doorbells on each gate and a big sign pointing to them with my phone number in case I'm not home."
  • "It's easy to install and use."
  • "We will see how long the doorbell batteries last, but they are easy to replace when that time comes."
  • "This doorbell is more compact than others, but meets all of the advertized promises. It is esthetically pleasant to the eye, and flashes its illumination for those who need that functionality."

Cons:

  • "It is broken after less than one year of use."
  • "It stopped working after 11 weeks."
  • "After approximately 6 months the doorbell just stopped working."
  • "For the first month, the doorbell worked well! It suddenly stopped ringing."
  • "The doorbell only lasted five months and goes off constantly for no reason whatsoever."
  • "Have had this for 5 days....it rings all the time on it's own despite the description saying it avoids interference and can handle cold temps. It's already unplugged and it's going back. USELESS!"
  • "The doorbell only worked for 2 months. I have changed batteries in doorbell button."

Customer Service and Warranty

Pros:

  • "The company did finally get back to me, and my issue was discussed."

  • "UPDATE: Management contacted me and offered a full refund because my doorbell failed. I Am very impressed with the customer service."
  • "They understood and said they have made changes to the instructions to change the two transmitters to ring differently!"
  • "Working with the company now to see if we can get it straightened out but no answers yet."

Cons:

  • "No support from vendor, did not get what was paid for."
  • "Battery died on the transmitter on Sept 2022. What happened to the 3 year warranty for the battery that was advertised?"
  • "Once I replaced battery, not the same, didn’t last a year."
  • "I cannot contact the manufacturer Secrui, as their website has not FAQs or contact email/phone."
  • "After 30 days you are unable to return the item."
