Editorial Product Review:Amazon.com Item Description:Worried that you won't be able to hear the doorbell when you're in the garden, garage, or basement? With Heath Zenith's wireless SL-6168, you can simply pick up the chime and take it with you (it plugs in to a standard polarized socket). To install, all you need to do is mount the doorbell and plug in the chime-no electrical installation is needed.
The volume of the chime is adjustable, and you can select one of three different chimes. You can also change the code settings (which allow the doorbell to communicate with the chime) to make sure your neighbor's wireless systems don't set of your chime. The SL-6168 gives you the added benefit of an entry-alert sensor that sets off a chime every time the door is opened or closed.
Note that the battery for the push button is included, along with all the mounting hardware you'll need.

Works great!
Bought this handy little item from another well-known home improvement store, for roughly the same price. I wanted a chime for the front gate, as it is the only point of entrance around my house that does not have a lock. After a bit of trial-and-error, it is now working flawlessly. I wrapped it in kitchen plastic wrap and a little bit of duct tape, and secured it to the gate with zip-ties. Yeah, it's a little MacGyver'd, but I get a nice chime everytime the gate is opened.
A couple of minor cons:
The unit needs to be aligned just right for it to properly work. If the smaller piece is too low or too high, you won't get the chime. Also, the volume of the receiver is pretty high, even at the lowest setting.
One nice thing that the unit features is multiple tones. One ding, a ding-dong, and that chime that every grandfather clock seems to have (I think it's called "Westminster"). You just have to change the jumpers on the back panel.
If you are looking for a good chime to give you a heads-up that you have a visitor, you could do a lot worse than this little guy.

Would be great if it always worked
I use this for a door chime for when customers come into my store. It is well designed, easy to install, has nice features. The only problem is, it only chimes about 3/4 of the time. The transmitter light goes on every time the door is opened, but the receiver only responds 3/4 of the time. I haven't been able to figure out why. I haven't measured the distance but it's not excessively far.

Works great
Works as they said. Needed an entry alarm at my new office. Hung sensor on door in 5 minutes with just a screwdriver. Actual chime is in another room about 80 feet away and works fine. Only problem I had was my wireless door bell was on same frequency. So if someone opened the door my door chime and door bell went off each a little apart. Almost sounded like a grandfather clock. Was easy to fix. Per simple instructions I just had to change the little jumper position.
Shipping was mega fast. I had just printed the receipt after ordering and 5 minutes later the UPS driver showed up (just kidding but it was fast)

Good Product
Easy to install and works well. Volume control could have a bit more range. It's still quite loud even on the lowest setting. Solved that by taping some bubble wrap over the speaker. Otherwise a great system.
