from my office, and I've no desire to run wires everywhere.

Any recommendations/thoughts/comments, etc.?

One where the receiver is mains powered? Hopefully a bit louder than the
all battery types.

How loud do you need it to be sitting right next to you on the desk?

Nuthin wrong with battery type hence why its called Wireless ie you cant
plug a mains job in if you're at the bottom of the garden.

Agreed to a point - however, the batteries in some don't last very long as
the receiver is akin to having a radio set turned on awaiting a signal. In
our situation it made sense to have the ringer plugged in - and kept on the
wall - rather than taking up space elsewhere. Wireless refers to the
transmission from push button to ringer.

Fine if you like carrying around a doorbell all the time. Others have a
life to get on with.

No problem,however if I happen to ring someones doorbell and it chimes as
loud as bigben I'll know its Dave Plowmans house.
When I'm in the outhouse using my tools its needs to be with me otherwise I
won't hear it in the front room and on saying that neither will I hear a
wired bell.
I'f the bell rings though no need to go to the door in some cases as I have
also a wireless camera and small monitor to see whos at the door and if its
a jehovas witness ect then they get ignored.
The camera is affixed to the security hole viewer.

Really? I have two bells wired in parallel. One at the top of the house,
one on the ground floor.

Bully for you.

Got an Argos one - built into a "plug through" adaptor so it doesn't tie up
a socket.
