2Don't waste your money!Jun 30, 2005
By clok
I bought this wireless doorbell & intercom with expectations that it would replace the existing hard wired intercom/doorbell system that I have attached to my security system.

This item is nothing more than a glorified walkie talkie -- it even squelches like a walkie talkie. When you push on the doorbell, the microphone is activated and the chime noise originates from the doorbell module. The receiving intercom module receives the "Ding Dong" sound. How cheap!

Almost laffable is the fact that you can't put the doorbell outside where it might get wet. According to the instructions, the doorbell module should be kept in a place where there is not excessive sunlight or moisture. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I called Westinghouse to confirm that it wasn't a typo -- to which I received a recommendation to buy a clear plastic box to keep it in outside OR -- get this.... put it in a bird house with the button where the bird would enter! HAHAHA. I swear..that's what the operator said.

Save yourself the $$$...

1Totally useless piece of engineeringJan 05, 2008
By V. Polineni "Brains2Go"
I bought this at Lowe's not Amazon but thought the review would be useful anyway.

This is an utterly useless piece of product with defective engineering and design. Here is a list of things wrong with it:

1. The doorbell unit is recommended to be installed without exposure to heat or humidity ... did somebody forget this is a DOORBELL?

2. Once we set it up, the doorbell chime was received by the inside receiving unit about 5-6 times, after that the the doorbell stopped chiming and the receiver stopped receiving.

3. Receiver would work intermittently, with a lot of static to make your speech incomprehensible ... both ways, when they connect with each other in random fashion. I tried both the A and B frequency settings several times with no effect.

It is amazing that products like these can actually be in the market and that sellers like Lowe's and Amazon continue to sell them without checking if they even work.

I am checking the market for alternatives but yet to find a good one. Most products in this space appear to be no better. Should I find one that works well, I will post it here.

1Non functioning Doorbell IntercomJun 07, 2007
By Kathy Obrien "Sun Harbor Marina"
The Westinghouse Whole-House Wireless Doorbell and Intercom does not work. Customer service explained that unit must be powered directly from a clean wall plug and not plugged into a power stip. While the building is new and the wiring is very clean power, the unit only worked when tested two times. We never managed to get the system to function with the main unit being indoors and the bell unit outdoors.

With luck the money will be refunded. The unit will not hold up in an outdoor environment. If we could have made it work, a protective housing would have to have been built.

1Do your researchSep 14, 2007
By TCBC
We tested this intercom in our home & at our church: had loud squeals, humms, and too much static to make out the person on the other end of the line regardless of frequency, channel, position, or location. After further research we learned that this is typical of wireless intercoms - will try a hard wired version next.

1Westinghouse Wireless DoorbellFeb 11, 2008
By Rich Shupp "Rathion Valor"
I was shocked to discover how horrible this unit worked. I followed the directions for set up (which is very simple), however, the doorbell failed to ring 3 out of 4 times. I tested it in ranges of 2-40 ft and found no change in results.

The voice response met with even fewer positive results. That was also tested in various ranges with different options.

Get a refund while you still can, I did.
