What Customers Are Saying
The doorbell transformer offers multiple voltage options (8V, 16V, 24V) that provide flexibility to work with different doorbell systems. Many customers report the product was easy to install and worked well with their new video doorbells. However, some users experienced issues like overheating, buzzing noises, and premature failure. A few also noted the mounting method could be improved, and a small number found the transformer did not provide the correct voltage output for their needs.

It works, but the buzz makes me nervous
Would Not RecommendWhen I installed a Cree Doorbell camera, the existing transformer (which was about 30 yrs old) stopped working. I replaced it with this one. Installation was easy, instructions were good. But the unit buzzs something awful. Glad it's in the garage! Wouldn't recommend it for that reason.
Early Failure
Would Not RecommendMy old doorbell transformer started to buzz (lasted 22yrs), so I replaced it with one of this model late in the fall. The doorbell worked with my initial testing, and for a while at the end of 2022. However, a guest pointed out in late January 2023 that the doorbell didn't work. I pulled the unit and confirmed the primary winding was completely open (the 16V secondary winding looked fine). Overall service life was less than 3 months for something that should have lasted decades, especially u...

Buzzes, Voltage not accurate
Would Not RecommendOther reviewers talk about the loud buzzing from this transformer, and they're absolutely right. This transformer buzzes so loudly that when it's mounted or attached to the wall you'll hear it, and feel it in the wall and framing. The output voltage is also higher than stated, I metered 19.8 vAC across the 16 volt terminals, the 24 volt terminals were also high. Lastly, the mounting tab on the back to secure it to the j-box mounting plate doesn't fasten well. There is only one tab, and whi...

LOUD BUZZING
Would Not RecommendBought this transformer for our Ring doorbell after our old one went out. Works fine (you'll need to use the 24v option for the Ring), but it BUZZES LOUDLY. I should've read the reviews on this before I bought it. It was on the wall between our garage and family room, and you could hear the buzzing in the family room as the vibration would carry into the wall. In fact the buzzing was louder in the family room than in the garage. Unfortunately I had thrown away the packaging after installation so...

Just Secure It Well
Would RecommendEasy install and found that as long as it's secured snugly to a metal cover plate, the buzzing/humming that some have complained about went away.

Works…I guess
Would Not RecommendHooked this up to a video dooerbell to trickle charge. First one failed within 2 days. The second one had an obnoxious humming noise, but it worked. I returned that one and bought a totally different one that works and doesn’t hum.

I had to replace my 20 year old transformer when I installed a Ring wired doorbell camera. The first one only lasted 2-3 weeks. The second one is making an incessant hum.
