5.0 out of 5 stars This a great fun., February 29, 2008

By	John J. Millerick - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What a great product. On Halloween, when our doorbell is used most often, the kids go nuts! Scary sounds are great fun for little ones.

I do a standing Monday Night Football party and I recorded Hank Williams "...are you ready for some football!"

Everything from real door chimes, (wife's favorites), goofball phrases like "...there's someone at the door!" and cool tunes. I set it to cycle through selections so you never know what is next.

They're right, ringing my doorbell is no longer the same! Next season I will definitely record the Cal Bears Fight song just to tick off my Stanford friends!

This is a well done product, installation was a snap, I replaced my faded "ding dong" bell, same two wire interface as my 35 year old bell, my lighted doorbell button still worked! Does need batteries though but the manual says they will last forever.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easy to install, April 9, 2009

By	RK (Iowa, USA) - See all my reviews

The installation was very easy. Be warned that the unit is not all that loud especially in a larger home with basement. Recording your own music to the unit plays back terrible. I tried to run music directly wired and as a recording unit. Both sound is unacceptable as a doorbell. BUT...it is fun to hear the different pre-recorded sounds. Also a lot of fun to change the sounds for holidays and special occasions. I guess the little kid in me wins out and I would buy it again just because it is fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome - Loads of fun, May 30, 2008

By	GaryThe One "GO" (Illinois) - See all my reviews

I am not very handy so I was a little skeptical of installing a wired doorbell, but I must admit it was as easy as they say - just disconnected two wires from the old ding dong and hooked up my new iChime. It's great. There are some really cheesy sounding products out there (I tried one) but the quality of this one is is excellent.

It comes off the wall easily for setup and recording. The built-in sounds are good by themselves but I got it to record my own. I like to experiment with different sounds based on who I know will be coming over. Everyone who hears it wants one! Right now I have it setup to play my six year son saying "I'll be right there!" Should be fun at Christmas time to have it play the built in Holiday songs like Jingle Bells and Deck the Halls.
