Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This speed control switch is being used with this Hardware House 56" fan (which I bought elsewhere for $38) and it works pretty well. Both the fan and switch are installed in my shop and will be used and abused all summer long.
There are a few things I must mention about the speed settings.
On L1, the fan barely moves and really doesn't move any air at that setting, not sure why they even bothered to have a Low 1 setting because it might as well be off.
On L2, the fan moves a good amount of air, probably the most usable setting in both the summer and winter (pushing the warm air down).
On MD, the fan moves a TON of air. I would consider the speed at which the fan moves at this setting closer (if not faster then) HIGH on any of the fans we have in the house. Will definitely be nice on those 115°F days in the shop.
On HI, the fan is just scary. So much air is being moved that a tornado begins to form.... ok I might be exaggerating a bit, but the HI setting is just too much (at least with this fan).
The "feel" of the fan control switch is kinda cheap and flimsy. Every time I switch the fan on I'm almost afraid I'm going to break the switch. I might just end up swapping it out for a more sturdy feeling switch.
So all in all it functions as advertised, looks good (much better then the speed control that came with the fan I bought), but the quality of the switch is a bit suspect... just waiting for it to break.
Pros:
Works with pretty much any and all fans.
Uses standard wall plates.
Installed in a snap.
Cons:
Feels and looks cheaply made.
Made in China...
L1 speed setting absolutely worthless with my fan (don't know how it is with other fans though).
