Ensemble de sonnette builder

Great sound

Our builder installed the BROAN-NUTONE BK125LWH-1 door-bell & chimes in our new home 11 months ago. It has worked fabulously - as a door bell. However we've now decided we'd like to update this door-bell to one with a camera compatible with our cell-phones, ipads, etc. and settled on a unit requiring 16-24 volts AC @ 50 - 60 Hz, & 40 VA (W) max. The operating voltage for the BK125LWH-1 measures 18 VAC, at the former switch (now camera) located outside, at the door, but it appears that the BK125LWH-1 transformer is not supplying adequate power to operate both, the chimes and the camera. According to the camera manufacturer's web site for "Compatible Mechanical Chimes", the BK125LWH-1 chimes are supposedly compatible with the selected Doorbell/Camera,, but at this point in time, "NO SUCH LUCK!" However, as doorbell, the BK125LWH-1 "Does it's job" as already stated elsewhere in these reviews, and looks nice inside our home. It would be even MORE NICE, if it also chimed with the camera connected.

Wow! I have never seen so many negative reviews! This doorbell must be absolutely horrible. It also seems Nutone is one of those "get the money and run" type of businesses. My house came with this model and I will be ripping it out ASAP and going with any other brand.

I am very disappointed. After a year and a half, the bell stopped working. I am experiencing the same issue as other customers: the top plastic striker and spring came off. It is clear to me that the company is aware of this issue but continues to sell a defective product.

Installed by builder in high end home. Broke in less than two years.
