Looks good, sounds cheap
By Matthew Gutberlet Jr.
We had an old-timey doorbell that had the actual brass tubes that hung down and were struck when the doorbell rang. When it finally gave out, we searched quite a bit for an equivalent replacement, wanting to steer clear of all-electronic ones that just had a speaker instead of an actual bell. This was the closest thing we could find.I was hoping that because this door chime had actual mechanical strikers that it would give a similar rich sound to my old brass chimes. However, this doorbell sounds like the sort of bell you hear when you walk into a mall store, at the deli line when the next customer comes up, etc. Just a cheap sounding, generic "donk-donk." Maybe an electronic one wouldn't have been so bad afterall.

By C. Vavra
I liked the style of this unit so much I paid more than one should for a doorbell. It has a handsome wood cover that goes well with my decor but I aggree with another review, it sounds cheap. It is a lower pitched ding dong than my 30 year old one, and it sounds sad and short. My old one went dingggggg donggggggg, this one is barely a din-don. No resonance whatsoever. I saw this unit at Home Depot before they stopped carring it, and there was a button to hear the tone, however it was only an electronic recording, enhanced to add resonance i imagine. Oh, and I love the description "Rubbed bronze tubes", riiiiight. More like 100% plastic with some decorative film over them. I like the look, but for the money expect a lot better sound. Remorse. :(

Heath-Zenith will NOT honor their warranty - STAY AWAY!
By Michael Benton
I purchased a Heath-Zenith wired door chime for our new home. It failed after a couple of months. After numerous calls to their technical "support" line, it became clear they had no intention of honoring their warranty. They tried to blame the chime's failure on the transformer, which was shown to be the correct rating and operating properly, and refused to respond to Better Business Bureau and Consumer Affairs. I have since filed a complaint with the FTC. Avoid Heath-Zenith products.
