I got 3 of these Friedland wireless bells, and would only give them 8/10.
The batteries run out quite quickly

eh??? Mine has AAs (I think) in the bell and a small button cell in the
bellpush. Was put up in jan and is working fine on orig batteries at the mo.

Maybe I just don't have many visitors

It only rings once, when the bell-push is pressed;

True

and the sound is not very loud.

Ours seems fairly loud - so much so that we don't bother with the extra
plug in bell that came with it.

They are well-made, and quite neat.
We use the system that extends a traditional bell,
so the ordinary bell rings too.
(I thought the plastic bell-push was a bit tacky.)

True. It is a bit plasticy
