When switched on, the controller only smells burnt after 6 months.

fan/light control unit purchased June 2021 12/15/21 noticed a burning smell from the switch when the light was on. The smell stopped when the switch was turned off, and checking the wire connections showed no signs of a short. The junction box smells of burning.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • crumpled packaging

Works great in wall panels

Easy connection to light/fan. I've read that many people complain about handles breaking, but I haven't had enough time to form an opinion. My wife draws the most, she is very gentle with things. Worst of all, I texted Hunter to make sure I was ordering the right part for my new fan and he replied "everything should work". I'd rather know if that would work. The help from the Jägerfabrik is terrible.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • quality

Brought 2, both broke

I bought two of these switches, both broke within 30 days. On the first, the light does not go out, on the second, it flashes when the switch is off. I have a circuit tester and it confirmed that both switches are bad. I emailed Hunter Support (contact form on their website) and received no response. These switches are cheaply made and should be avoided.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Suitable for ceiling fans and accessories

I installed a new fan that didn't have a remote control - I don't need it either. But I wanted to control the light and fan without pulling the chains (this one is above the bed). This switch makes it possible. Since it controls both the light and the fan, the two switches are a little tight, but using my fingertips is fine. Just make sure you have extra wire in the switch box before you buy it, otherwise it won't work.

Pros
  • All the best!
Cons
  • Damaged

Great hardwired wall control

Installed two of these together with two Hunter ceiling fans in separate rooms. Works as advertised for dimmer lighting control and fan on/off and three speed settings. Just don't overuse the little sliders. I haven't had any issues so far, but some reviewers have had issues with them breaking or falling off. I really don't expect any problems as there are "no more kids" at home. Excellent wall management and I would buy again.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Some cons

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Need more speed - wall control

First, it works. full range dimmer. The dimmer has an additional switch on the bottom to turn it off completely without losing power. You cannot save the previous position if you turn off the light. The fan switch has operating positions 1 through 3. Position 3 is full speed, position 2 is low speed, and position 1 is almost useless as the fan spins so slowly that it doesn't do anything useful. To be fair, I don't have Hunter fans, so maybe they work differently with Hunter fans. I bought this…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • weak

Updated Hunter Fan and Light Control Review

Great Product. I recommend it to anyone who wants good control. Warning: I made a mistake in my review and I'm sorry if I steered anyone in the wrong direction. This Hunter 27182 switch has not been turned on more than 5 times by me or my wife in the guest room. At this point I feel really cheated of my money and should have known better when another Hunter broke at the same point of contact but I figured it was an accident. Now I feel good knowing that Hunter is making substandard moves and I…

Pros
  • Sturdy Finish
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Good value for money

Price - excellent value for money compared to other offers. Feature - My Hunter fan had 3 fan speed settings and worked great with this control. The light dimming function also worked perfectly. LED lamps and dimming. The controller worked well with some Revain dimmable LED bulbs. For the medium brightness range, the bulbs hum/buzz a little. There is no hum closer to the full or minimum brightness level. Not sure if this is a lightbulb, wall switch or ceiling fan issue. Color - This has been…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Bought to replace a similar Casablanca switch that broke. It comes with a ground wire. Pros: 1. The dimmer makes a nice clear click when you turn the light off, letting you know it's really off. The old switch didn't have this function and sometimes we accidentally left the ceiling light dimly lit.2. Perfect replacement for Casablanca dual slide switch with three speed settings: low, medium and high.3. Easy installation. Disadvantages: 1. Like similar switches, it takes up a lot of space in the

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I will add later
