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

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.

Thats funny was hosing the yard a couple of days ago the bell worked
fine out there..

You must have got a better one than ours. If I plug ours in the
dinning room, which about 6 meters away but through two walls it does
not work. Move it the other side of the wall and it works. Similar
problem with the ringer upstairs, and the walls are just brick,
nothing metal in them.

Check the battery underload in the bell itself by putting a meter across
the + & - and press the bellpush.
Might be the battery is under powering the wireless circuitry.
