This product is fantastic!!! In addition to being a doorbell, it is also an intercom, which means, you don't have to get up to see who's ringing the doorbell -- you can simply press a button and converse with the other party. What's more, if you purchase additional units, you can converse via the intercom with family members or do an "all call" when you need to speak with everyone at once. This is a "must have" for busy families or people who work from home.

I was shocked to discover how horrible this unit worked. I followed the directions for set up (which is very simple), however, the doorbell failed to ring 3 out of 4 times. I tested it in ranges of 2-40 ft and found no change in results. The voice response met with even fewer positive results. That was also tested in various ranges with different options. Get a refund while you still can, I did.

I bought this at Lowe's not Amazon but thought the review would be useful anyway. This is an utterly useless piece of product with defective engineering and design. Here is a list of things wrong with it: 1. The doorbell unit is recommended to be installed without exposure to heat or humidity ... did somebody forget this is a DOORBELL? 2. Once we set it up, the doorbell chime was received by the inside receiving unit about 5-6 times, after that the the doorbell stopped chiming and the receiver stopped receiving. 3. Receiver would work intermittently, with a lot of static to make your speech incomprehensible ... both ways, when they connect with each other in random fashion. I tried both the A and B frequency settings several times with no effect. It is amazing that products like these can actually be in the market and that sellers like Lowe's and Amazon continue to sell them without checking if they even work. I am checking the market for alternatives but yet to find a good one. Most products in this space appear to be no better. Should I find one that works well, I will post it here.
