In owners' own words

“This product was definitely not ready for release!”
— @davidmmuench on YouTube

“I want to like this but the notification time and the audio is a no go.”
— @Jason-oz9pp on YouTube

“The only way to reboot the device is to unmount the doorbell and hold down the power button on the back on the device. My Doorbell is wired and always topping up the battery so turning off the breaker does nothing.”
— michaelbbq on Reddit

“So basically, another half-baked doorbell from WYZE. I'm starting to regret ever investing in WYZE products.”
— @r.powell2351 on YouTube

— @thegreeneyej on YouTube

“I don't like the fisheye lens on the V2”
— @GuitarP0RN on YouTube

— @Super_Tonester on YouTube

“This infomercial or what ever you can call it makes me ashamed to claim that.”
— @briannicholson6323 on YouTube

— @mr.c6674 on YouTube

Setup quirks & things to watch for

Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.

“I got one for my Wyze doorbell pro and it’s plugged into the power points on the back of the doorbell then they should give you a pack of mounts to route the cable and nail it in the wall”
— dumb_founded456 on Reddit

“Only one I do not use a memory card in is the doorbell cam and that's because it doesn't have that option so I pay for an annual Cam Plus subscription solely for it only.”
