JONNY-1 NYC: For starting Hunter fans or controlling the variable speed, you can't go wrong with this speed controller/on-off switch marketed under the Hunter name. Hunter is a very long established, legitimate manufacturer and I have owned some of their ceiling fans for thirty-three years and they are still running. I wouldn't expect a controller or on/off switch to last that long but if is marketed under the Hunter name, it will do what it is supposed to do. Unfortunately, a lot of American manufacturing has traveled overseas but the Hunter name still stands for a reasonable amount of quality, no matter where the source of manufacture. Huntet stands behind their products. They also acquired Casablanca, which tells you something about them.

Denise C: I bought this switch to better control slower speeds on an "original" old 52" Hunter fan. The speed control device got noticeably warm and gave off a distinct smell of "internal overheating" after being connected for just a few minutes. It also did not properly regulate speed. It clearly appeared "under sized / rated" for this particular application. I did additional online research, returned this item, and purchased a Dayton 48C172 speed control switch from Grainger (rated for 6 amps vs just 1.5 advertised by the Hunter). Yes, its much pricier for just a wall switch but the new switch works flawlessly and my concerns for starting a house fire have been eliminated. I would consider the product labeling on this Hunter device to be very misleading given that it specifically targets "original Hunter fans". Also, if you have a dual switch gang box (with adjacent light switch) on the wall, there is no need to install the Dayton-provided face plate. The shaft for the switch control easily fit through the existing wall plate and the control knob attachment was straightforward.

MixMaster Jack: I finally broke down to replace a 25 year old ceiling fan in my bedroom which I was controlling with a variable speed fan control. The fan was fine but was a little small for the space. I'm a big fan of Hunter ceiling fans (no pun intended), so I found a three speed 60" Hunter ceiling fan which was much better moving air in the room. Unfortunately, the variable speed control was creating a noticeable hum at any setting on the speed control. My experience with repairing heating and A/C systems has taught me that continuing to operate a fan with that humming noise can substantially shorten the life of the motor. After replacing the old control with this Hunter control, the hum is completely gone.

Replacement was very easy for someone comfortable working with electricity. Just connect the line, load, and ground wires, and remount in the box. It fits with existing "switch" plate covers since only the shaft of the control comes out (i.e. not good with the Decora style plates). For those who haven't done this before, make sure the chain pull switch on the fan is set to the highest fan speed (should be the first "click" from off) or the motor will strain to start up. This is true...
