AprilApril: Taking this straight out of the box and just looking at it you can tell it is easy to install no worry of having to have the transformer for the doorbell especially if you have no idea where it is in your house. This comes with its own. It has 2 different sounds for front door and back door but you can install more then 2 door bells. I have had it for months now and it is still working great. It sits flush up against the roof. And looks great.

Bradford: Currently working with the manufacturer. Hopefully NICOR is responsive. It worked on my ring doorbell for 3 months then suddenly failed. The 120v side is ready 122v and the 24v side is just dead. Transformer also doesn’t get warm which likely means burnt winding. Hopefully they stand behind their product.

Update: Nicor did replace it under warranty so this was nice

Larry from Texas: I purchased and installed this chime because Ring stated it was compatible with my Ring Doorbell Pro. After installation, the Ring Doorbell Pro worked well. However, the new chime did not chime when the Ring Doorbell Pro chimed. I called this to the attention of Ring, and they sent me a free Ring Chime Pro (no cost to me) and now I have a huge variety of chimes to select from for each of the Ring house chime and our mobile phones.

I saw several U-Tube videos of homeowners retrofitting more powerful doorbell transmitters, and related hardware to make the Ring Chime Pro work properly. I spent less than $50 and about 20 minutes to replace and install this new chime. The U-Tube videos boast only spending $65 to $100 and only taking them a half to a full day the retrofit the replacement doorbell transmitters. Therefore, save yourself some money and lots of time.

Raymond W. Johns: I had this exact same transformer that went out so I bought this replacement and it worked perfectly. It was easy to install and worked great. I think this item is a bit over priced but it is what it is.

Paul M: Purchased this electronic doorbell chime to complete a setup with a Google Hello video doorbell. This product is described to be compatible and I also contacted Nicor's own support by email to specifically provide my intended installation with the Google Hello which they further confirmed it would work.

After installing, which is simple and straight forward, I noticed after ringing the doorbell a smell (you know that hot electronics smell). The unit continued to work so figured it was normal. Recently changed the Google Hello doorbell ring theme to Spooky Sounds for Halloween and it seems after a bunch of rings to hear all the doorbell sound options the chime once again smelt, but now no longer works as a chime. No more audio output from it. Second observation is my Google Hello doorbell is still functional which means the output power from this chime to the doorbell is still working.

Chime failed in less than 3 months. Not much good without it ringing.
