    I will give an update on this product, after a few weeks have passed. I installed it same day it arrived. It was actually easier to install then I thought it would be. The original transformer was put in my condo in the 80’s when it was built. It was rated at 10V, 5VA. I had the “level 3” output and “poor” transformer with a reading of 10V. My mechanical door bell chime was not working since the ring was draining all the juice. Apparently there was not enough voltage to power the mechanical bell with the ring installed. When I upgraded to this transformer recommended by ring…. Let me just say a night and day difference. My mechanical bell now works and there is no delay, the notifications I get them instantly! I have all the features as well; such as night vision color, the led light on the ring doorbell button is now on. (before it would never turn on even during night time) The speaker and mic sound louder and clear. The video quality is also better. After I installed the transformer, I waited about half a day then rebooted my doorbell through the app. (even though I did not need too, I immediately received 16V rating but I wanted to be sure, just incase) So far its perfect. I will update this review as time goes by. Also, just a tip. Make sure you continue to check that you have the latest ring door bell app update. I noticed that ring updates their app like every other day and also ensure your ring doorbell has the latest update. The transformer does run “hot” but its not really that much of a difference. I can still touch it with my fingers but its a higher output in voltage so it’s expected, yet nothing to worry about.

    Update 4 months later: transformer still going strong and working as expected! But now my mechanical door chime has a slight buzz I heard it’s common if you put a high output transformer. I know it’s my mechanical doorbell because if I shut the breaker off for the doorbell the buzzing stops. It doesn’t bother me and it’s not loud but I can hear it when I walk by the mechanical doorbell chime when there is no noise in my place. Not sure what’s causing it or how to fix it as I have the ring power pro connected to it as well.

    4.0 out of 5 stars New Transformer for Ring Doorbell
    Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    My home was built in 1970 and I am fairly sure the transformer was the original one. While it served the doorbell for the house for 50 years, it was just not beefy enough to deal with the additional power requirements of an always on doorbell camera system like the new Ring doorbell I bought, so I went with Ring suggestion and bought their own brand of transformer.

    Install was pretty smooth...was able to screw onto flat baseplate with the plastic nut on the back and it was off to the races! No wiring changes needed (other than replacing the chime and installing doorbell).

    Seems to be working just fine, powering the chime and the new Ring doorbell. Not sure it will last 50 years, but hopefully I can get 10.

    I received a message on my Ring Pro 2 video doorbell that stated that my wired doorbell was not receiving enough power. So I ordered the recommended Hardwired Transformer for Ring Wired Video Doorbells. I received a transformer with the metal housing severely bent on all four sides. The transformer did not come in Ring box. Instead it came in a plastic Ring grey bag. I did not receive any Ring window stickers, like you see in the in the video reviews.
    I opted not to send mine back because of the hassle. I re-flattened the four sides of the metal before installing. The directions do not show installation of the transformer to a breaker box. I found my old transformer attached beneath insulation and snug behind my breaker panel. It was easy to replace. My old transformer did not have a ground wire so I had to attach the new green ground wire with the new white neutral wire. My video doorbell is now pulling enough power and is working as originally designed.

    UPDATE: I received a call from Ring asking me about my recent experience. The representative, Aaron, was super nice and went out of his way to get in touch because we were on different time zones. He apologized for the bent transformer and immediately shipped me the Ring stickers that I did not receive. He also addressed my concern from my other Ring purchase…Ring Pro 2 Video Doorbell. In that purchase, I was supposed to receive a coupon for a free faceplate in my choice of color. Since I did not receive the coupon, Aaron resolved that issue as well. He provided a list of colors for me to choose from and then shipped me the faceplate in leaf green which matched my exterior door. I was very impressed that Ring actually reads their product reviews and followed up. That’s why I changed my rating from one star to five stars. Thank you Aaron & Ring!
