Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Amp fan speed control for bathroom extraction / exhaust fans. Cables connect directly to the blower. Can reduce 70 watt fan to 50 watts.

It works perfectly out of the box. No hum. No fuss. Great service from amazon.

Overall the components, assembly and soldering are of very good quality. Easy to wire, works as advertised, no rf interference or humming. Two wire connectors and two screws.

Magic heat uses a simple (on/off) thermostat controlled 1/200 hp single speed shaded pole fan motor.

Kbwc-13k potentiometers are configured as two-terminal components. This means i can easily replace the trimmer potentiometer with a two terminal negative temperature coefficient (ntc) thermistor.

Cons

This is a cheap switch which is manufactured in hong kong. Without the controller the fan is smooth and quiet but with the controller it runs noisy.

Price

Keep in mind that these are low cost simplistic controllers the performance can vary significantly from one installation to another

Shipping

Needed to adjust fan speed on a modine heater in a garage it works great fast shipping and easy to install

Sellers that adjust the builtin shipping costs according to the weight of your purchase may save you some money for multiple units

Competitiveness

The replacement fan motor for my 30 year old nutone range hood was slightly larger than the original and had far more capacity than needed
