MP3 Door Chime, Programmable DoorBell, Walnut With Clear Coat. Made In The USA By BCS Ideas Corporation.

First I want to say this review is NOT to slam this doorbell. If you install this doorbell correctly you will LOVE this doorbell! The quality is outstanding. And it's miles beyond any other comparable products. There's absolutely nothing at all wrong with it. However, if I were to be 100% truthful, it could stand a few improvements that I'd happily have paid more for. 1. It should have a simple hidden switch to change seasons preinstalled. Unless I misread the instructions this would have to be installed separately. Not a big deal but when you buy a doorbell with this much capability, it seems incomplete without it. And I honestly don't want to have to go back and figure out how to put it in later. 2. It's not easy quite so easy to hang. Again not a big deal, in my case I had to add a picture frame wire to the back because where it hangs it would easily fall off the wall if someone shut the door hard and it would fall on your head if it came off while walking through. 3. This to me is more of a big deal. Someone buying a doorbell this nice is likely installing it with a video doorbell I'd think. It should be sold with the adapter for video doorbells. I'd happily pay more in advance for that as well. 4. This one is the biggest deal and only applies to someone installing a video doorbell. The Nest Hello and others run on 16 volts to 30 volts. And they also tend to work poorly at 16 volts. If you dig around online you'll find quite a few complaints over that. So you'll need higher voltage transformer. But that's where you have a problem. The doorbell will only accept 16 volts. This means a second transformer, and extra wire have to be run(one for the Nest and one for the doorbell). Depending on your installation, this can be a massive pain in the butt. The maker should really look into a circuit to take that same range of voltage as an add on device on the input side. They do this on tons of stuff now. In fact a lot of wall transformers you buy have removable prongs that allow it to be plugged into a variety of countries wall power and it will still put out the same power. It would be well worth the additional cost as well. I look at it this way. The Nest Hello is not cheap, in fact all high end video doorbells are fairly expensive. And this doorbell is EVERY BIT the quality of a Nest Hello, except only with a little extra work. But anyone buying a video doorbell is the same person that will pay more for this to be as simple of an installation as possible. That's my two cents. Again, I very much love this doorbell. It's fabulous. I also seldom write detailed raving reviews, and I suppose this one isn't either. But I cannot be happier with the build quality of the bell. The person who complained about the connector not fitting 16 gauge wire has an odd complaint. The connectors aren't shoddy in the least. They're industry standard for the size wire a doorbell is supposed to use. You can't fault the manufacturer because you chose to use non-standard wire. The speaker tone and quality is extremely good. And there's even a volume knob to adjust it to a level you prefer. I'm thoroughly impressed with the sound. It's nice.

Classiest looking doorbell housing I've seen; refined case, really nice. The sound quality is *excellent*, clear, crisp, reverberating through the house. I have played with music clips, sound effects (wind chime, geese) and more and they all work. Comes with 10 pre-selected music clips which may or may not be to your taste. It is difficult to program, however, walking through an arcane set of commands and sequences to get to where you need to be. You need to get to the startup where the box announces (Where's The Kaboom?) - which also happens with every power failure, an annoyance at 3AM. Then you need to push the doorbell for the right amount of time within a specified time frame and, well, let's just say you an get there but it's not designed for the faint of heart. Likewise wiring it requires you to understand a (simple) electrical diagram and wire it as to whether you have 120v AC in the box or not, connect two slide-on connectors and hope you don't burn something out. Again not impossible but not easy for the uninitiated and something that could have been better explained in the instructions. I would give five stars except for the difficulty in programming it. I probably should have given it only 3 stars except I love having it; the frustration turns out - in the end - to be worth it.

Nice wood finish. Solid box. The motherboard connections to the doorbell button and power is shotty. It's a little (terminal block) strip of plastic with small wire push-in with a tension screw to clamp the wire for each connection. But, if you have a 16 or larger wire, it doesn't fit well. Since I had already wired the house with 16 gauge single-stranded wire (instead of multiple small strands wrapped in each wire sheath). I used a 'butt splice' connector from my single stranded 16 gauge wire to a short length 18 gauge wire and connected that to the block.

Simple design with a tech upgrade for those who like the look of real wood instead of plastic things. Sound quality is great and the options for input and outputs makes this a great upgrade.

when I received The unit installed it. it would not change songs i reached out to the manufacturer several times awith no response

I decided to replace the 20 year old ding dong doorbell after buying a cool creepy Halloween doorbell that you can hang anywhere and runs on batteries. After a few laughs with the Halloween doorbell I started to think about our real bell. Plain old button plain old ding dong. I first bought a video doorbell from Lorex since we have Lorex cameras. I then began hunting for a cool doorbell chime for inside. Nothing grabbed my attention better than the Your Bell. It is preloaded with holiday and occasion tones. I was sold! Since I have a video door button I needed a VDBI (video door button interface) free to purchasers of the Your Bell (just shoot them a message). I also needed a more powerful transformer so I ordered that. The Lorex button, new transformer and Your Bell arrived and waited for the weekend. I started digging in to the boxes and have to say that the You Bell was intimidating. Like 17 pages of instructions/ schematics intimidating so I started with the Lorex video door button. I figured if I could make that work it would boost my confidence and then I could tackle the Your Bell. With the video button in as well as the transformer, I tested them with old ding dong and all was well. Now on to the Your Bell and all of the instructions. The instructions are complex because you can have a front door button and a rear door button. You can add a speaker to another area of your home or even your backyard. For the hearing Impaired lights can be added to indicate a visitor. I was impressed! Now all I had to do was figure out how to wire it for our simple setup. All I had to do was add a set of wires from the transformer to the Your Bell because it requires power to be on all of the time. This was in addition to the original wires (one from the button and one from the transformer so that it gets a signal when the button is pressed. When I had it all wired up I heard “where’s the kaboom” and knew I was close. I hung it on the wall and went to press the button. I was impressed with myself as much as I was with Your Bell. The sound is great wether you have music, holiday or the looney tunes set up. I am anxious to have people over to show it off. Two thumbs up, five stars and an atta boy for the Your Bell team. This thing is super cool! Don’t be intimidated if I can install it you can too.

I had some trouble wiring the product because the wiring in my house was labeled incorrectly. I reached out to the manufacturer via Email and my Emails didn't get through. But he was able to reach me via Amazon when I tried to return the unit. After a brief conversation, I determined the issue was my house wiring being labeled incorrectly. Once I figured that out, the rest was easy. It sounds pretty good and can be VERY LOUD. The box looks much better than the old doorbell I had. I'm very satisfied with the unit. If you have issues with it, I suggest you call YourBell rather than Email them. Either that or reach out to them via Amazon.
