Business Source Nickel Plated Call Bell

I purchased this bell to use with teaching Daily 5 in my second grade classroom. After each work session, the entire class knows to gather back at the rug when they hear the bell. I find that it's fun to have a few different sounds to use throughout the year...a chime, train whistle, this bell, etc. When I saw a call bell for less than $1 at a thrift store, I thought maybe I shouldn't have got one off Amazon, but I'm glad I did. This bell is heavier and very well-constructed. The sound is plenty loud and resonates for a little bit. I'm very happy with the quality for what I paid and am sure it will last forever! Besides being great for noisy classrooms, this bell would be perfect for stores, games, pet training, or plenty of other situations.

Is it weird that I consider a bell “cute?” Lol this gets the job done, it’s loud enough to hear even if you’re 20 feet away, I decided to get this for my business and it’s easy for customers to spot and push when they need service. Kids love it! I also used it when I was sick and needed to get my family’s attention haha, before I would whistle and clap, but this was helpful !

I couldn't stop laughing when the bell arrived at my office. I couldn't figure out why on Earth I ordered it. Was I drunk when I placed the order? Was I planning on opening a bed and breakfast hotel? Then I remembered, I ordered it a week earlier because the buzzer to one of my favorite party games had broke. This bell will drive my friends crazy the next time we play Taboo! It's well constructed and, the best part about bells like this, is just leaving them out on a table or counter top someplace. People can't resist ringing the bell for no reason whatsoever.

I have had this bell for more than six years now - bought in June 2016. I have moved it to two different offices since then. Working at home now it has entered the realm of "kid's toy" for my children. It still works and looks like new. This is with at one time daily-use in a business and now with 3/7/10 year olds playing with it (sometimes roughly) as well as it being knocked from table to floor height on occasion. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this again if I ever needed to - I just also can't imagine ever needing to when this one will likely outlast me.

We use this bell as a sort of doorbell for the dog. When he wants to go out, he rings the bell and we know to let him out. It's a good quality bell with a nice clear "ding". It's loud enough that we can hear it in another room, but not so loud that it's a nuisance. It's not too heavy and not too light. Unlike some of these bells, you cannot change the pitch on this particular one. I highly recommend this brand because of the quality. We had one that was a lot lighter and it just seemed like a cheaper quality.

I use this so that my dog can indicate when he wants to go outside in the back yard. For some reason he usually hits it with his nose and not his paw. Because of this, I built a plastic C shaped enclosure with a large paddle on top that is easier for him to bop with his nose. It works fine when he want to go out. I then put the bell outside for him to ring to come in. Unfortunately, the bell it not loud enough to go through the glass door and always be heard where I usually sit. To train the dog I first rang the bell myself every time he went out for a few days. I then taught him to ring the bell on command with his favorite treat. He then put the two behaviors together very quickly and now I do not have to guess what he wants to do.

AWFUL, TERRIBLE, AND INELIGIBLE FOR RETURNS. This product is a piece of trash. It cannot be rung without the plunger getting stuck. Absolutely useless for an office setting to have to go back up to the front desk and reset the plunger every time it is used. Absolutely garbage. Even when it does work, the "ding" of the bell isn't very loud and doesn't carry well. And to cap all of this off to find out it is ineligible for returns?! Ridiculous. Absolutely piece of trash, waste of money, product is not functional. Spend a few extra bucks on a quality product from another seller.

Hey it's a bell.. Ring for service and service you shall receive.. I needed a bell for training newish puppy's to signal when they wanted to go outside. I was worried I would be buying one of thoese bells that dosent work every time. But so far I haven't had to reset the striker pin. Weeks of rings and no issues. Well no issues related to the bell and its operation anyway.. The dogs on the other hand are a entirely different story.. But back to the bell;) It's base feels sturdy, has a nice shine to the finish, not to light weight but not to heavy either. It feels just like it should. So I'm happy with the performance, the only issue I experienced was in its shipping. One little bubble air pack for a box 5 times the size of the bell:) it's not fine china. Or anything to breakable but...
