I needed a new doorbell so I pulled the trigger and bought it for her. So far I am really happy with it.The unit goes up very easily and has transformer and no transformer installation options. It does require four 2A batteries because the unit does a lot more than a standard doorbell. Once you get the unit wired up and the base wired and mounted, the unit itself comes off the wall very easily which is important because you don't want to have to stand on a chair to record custom sounds or make system changes. Also, it looks nice on the wall. It is a little bigger than the size of your hand and is a pleasing off-white color.The unit is a lot of fun. It comes with a couple dozen built in sounds from chimes and bells to dogs barking to the Mexican hat dance song. If you select a category it will run through a selection of sounds from the specific category. If you like one specific sound, you can simply hold down a button and that chime will play each time the bell button is pushed. But, that is not what makes this unit worth the few extra dollars...Recording your own sounds either with the built in mic or the line in option makes this doorbell truly fun. Record your voice or your favorite song and it will play when the bell rings. It is a lot of fun and my wife really likes recording her own tunes on the unit. My one complaint is that you cannot save more than one custom chime on the unit at a time. So, if you record a chime and then want to record a different one, the original is overwritten. This is not a big deal...more of an observation than a complaint.This unit is expensive for a doorbell but at around 80 bucks, it is not that much more than a regular, one tone unit and it is a heck of a lot more fun. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Don't belive the negative comments . . . *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2014* A little over priced. Has a lot of great pre programmed sounds. Very easy to install. Batteries are only used to review, record, and select the sound you want. Runs off of low household current from transformer. Does not run off of batteries. Has 4 settings for volume. I have mine set to the 2nd lowest setting, it is loud enough. If you have a 15,000 square foot house , then maybe you might not hear it 'ring'. Just have your butler answer the door after someone knocks. I purchased a 2nd unit for my daughter.Highly recommend this unit. Its a lot of fun. Easy to add a 2nd speaker for additional volume. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Speaker Quality Ever *by W***7 on Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2010* The idea of a programmable doorbell is really great, but the product failed to impress. I tried every way I could to record my own personal chime. I used the external mic and the aux port because I thought the sound would be better that way. I was wrong. The speakers crackle and pop no matter which way you record your tune. I really wanted this product to work, but the chime was too quiet and the speakers were horrible. I sent it back immediately. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9668251-chime-1-doorbell](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9668251-chime-1-doorbell) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
