| I know this has nothing to do with electrical wiring, but I couldn't think of a better forum. What do actual electricians recommend when someone wants a wireless doorbell? I would love a brand and model number recommendation. I have purchased 3 over the years and none of them work or they ring when nobody is at the door or they work for a while and then stop working or they won't ring when the door is closed. I want one that rings. It's not asking too much I don't think. |

| "I have purchased 3 over the years and none of them work" - thats why I don't recommend them. |

| But, it's not always feasible to hard wire one in though right? What do you do then? |

| I bought a Dimango brand at Home Depot or Lowes (can't remember which). I think it cost all of $10 and it has worked fine in the 7-8 years I've had it. |

| The ugly part of most wireless doorbells is that they are designed to be surface mounted and to get enough room for the battery they end up looking like a wart on the door frame. If you can find a way to mount it better it will be prettier. My next door neighbor made sort of a plaque around his that make it look less like an afterthought. |
