 Poor quality, December 22, 2010
By Michael Kaselis (New Bern, NC United States)
|
|
The item looks pretty, but it broke the very first time it was used, literally seconds after it came out of the box. A cheap plastic tab which holds one of the ringers in place broke off and the ringer dropped into the device, jamming it. I remember this type of bell from when I was a child. They were made of chromed steel. They tended to rust over time but they worked even when subject to rough handling. The inner-works on the bell are now made of cheap plastic and apparently are not durable enough to handle even normal use. This seems to be a recurring theme with nearly everything. Are we doomed to endure cheap, poor quality manufactured items forever? I find myself spending more time trying to find quality items and I am absolutely willing to spend more too, but too often there are none to be found, at any price. When will the manufacturers get a clue??
Update (Jan 3, 2011):
I have upgraded my review from one star. Amazon made returning the item very easy. Several clicks of the mouse and the next day UPS was at my door to pick up the item without question or additional charge. A replacement was sent which arrived a couple days later. Still has the cheap plastic but operates as designed so far and has held up over several days of light use by my 5 year old daughter. I still don't really like it because it seems cheaply made but we apparently don't have any better choices. Your mileage may vary...

 fun and pretty, June 11, 2008
By Joy Cardinal (Pittsfield,Ma USA)

As a 60 yr old who has just taken up biking, I wanted it to be fun and not work. My little hibiscus bell lets people know I am there and gets lots of comments, like where can I get one.

Great Bell, January 6, 2011
By Ellen Ward (Florida)
|
|
I wanted a traditional bell for my "all things Hawaiian" 5 year old bike rider. This fit the bill perfectly. It was easy to install however my husband had to tighten it a bit more after her first ride. It reminds me of the metal one I had as a child that sported the American flag on the top. Bell works great and I can hear her ring it from pretty far away.

daughter loves it, September 22, 2010
By W. Wexell (St. Louis)
|
|
I have no trouble finding my daughter when she is riding her bike these days. This bell rings loud and clear and she rings it constantly. It seems to be very sturdy and well made steel construction. She absolutely loves the bell and I expect it to last a good while.
We did have to make a new rule about not ringing the bell in the garage. Its a bit too loud in enclosed spaces.

I have a pink cruiser with the same flowers as the bell so when I saw the bell I just had to get it. It match my bicycle perfectly. It works great. I received quickly. My boys can't resist ringing it whenever they pass by.

 Doesn't work, October 17, 2011
By GirlFromBevHills (Beverly Hills, CA.)

This "bell" doesn't make a ringing noise, just a clicking sound. Buyer beware of this total junk. What a waste.

Has lasted over a year so far..., June 7, 2011
By Kathryn (Antelope, CA, United States)
|

I got one of these when I got my new bicycle over a year ago. I use it quite a bit. I tend to ride through the neighborhood and ring and wave at neighbors. It reminds me of the bell on my bike that I had as a child. It has the classic bike bell sound and it quite cute.

Nice Bell, December 13, 2011
By ReeViewinit

We got this for our 5 year old's bike, and she's happy because it matches and sounds pretty. We're glad it is loud, so she can let people know she's around. It was very easy to put on and seems durable.

Pretty., April 21, 2012
By N. Gilbert (Memphis, TN)
|
|
It's a bike bell. It works. It even works after being left in the rain, and after hitting the ground a few times, on the handlebars of a young child's bike.
