OK first world problem, recently fitted a EUFY video doorbell, works really well but by default battery operated. This is fine but battery doesn't last as long as specified soo I bought a PSU from Amazon (one suggested on EUFY website as they don't offer one)..
Unfortunately it buzzes like an angry bloody wasp continually (seems common with the cheap plug in units.
Can anyone recommend an 18v to 24v PSU (plug in not bus bar type) that is reliab le and most importantly doesn't bloody buzz?

Cheers

Is the PSU you have AC or DC output? Many doorbells are designed to run on AC as most existing transformers in the USA are AC.

it is AC although I believe the doorbell will accept either.

About a year ago I bought one, probably the same as yours...

Although some reviews complained about the buzzing, others said it was silent so I chanced it knowing I could just return it.

Mine is completely silent powering an Eufy video doorbell.

Another vote for the Amazon one. Ours is also silent.
