Excellent chimney fan speed controller

Replace the standard on/off switch on chimney fans with this variable speed model. Now I can slow down and finally I don't hear the TV at full power. Matches the ivory wall plate. Ideal. I

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • Quick start guide

THIS DOESN'T WORK FOR MOST FANS!

This is complete nonsense. They will not work with most fans sold today. Install them on the fan, turn it on and BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZ at any speed. If you have a very old fan, like before manufacturers started using modern electronic components, this might be a good choice for you.

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • Volume

Great adjustable fan speed control but noisy fan motor

Lutron FS-5FH-DK Rotary fan speed control switches look clean, all white or beige, easy to install, great to replace a 20 year old 3-The High speed fan control switch is pre-installed. However, the fan motors are significantly louder with the new switches! It has an annoying hum.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Fits

It also makes a horrible humming noise

The derailleur is listed as a three speed low, mid or high speed derailleur. No, that is not so! This is a stepless switch. It also makes an awful buzz. This may not cause some fans to hum, but I have two fans in my room and another has an older dimmer that is completely silent. hands off it!

Pros
  • Positive Only
Cons
  • Very Expensive

I have a stepless setting that makes the ceiling fan motor very noisy.

Product description says low, medium and high speed. I thought I'd order a 3 speed derailleur. What I got was stepless control that made the ceiling fan motor very noisy. The range of speeds I get with the fan is very narrow and none of them even come close to being low. As soon as I get the best, I'll take it.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Working speed

Cons
  • Crumpled
