Can't recommend a make - but get one where the 'ringer' unit is built

Agreed. My plug in is much better than the previous battery one.
Still not perfect though. Strangely its fine plugged into a socket
outlet, but won't work if plugged into an extension cable.

The whole point of it being wireless(battery) if you happen to go
pottering
about in the garden,hence you can take it anywhere around the house ie for
slightly deaf people or you cant hear the bell in the back garden.

I found that the ones I bought from B&Q have a range of about 5 meters and
that is providing there is only one wall between bell push and the ringer.
So unless you have a very small garden in direct line of sight of the bell
push wandering round the garden is not possible with the cheaper models.
