Pros & Cons

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

Pros

A real bargain. Works as expected. Not as many features as my original remote, but satisfactory. Minute light delay.

Compact and easy to install. Installed easily in a refurbished high end 52 fan. More cost efficient than replacing entire unit.

It speeds up or slows down the fan with the temp of the room. It keeps the room temp even. Faster in hot summers, minimum in fall and spring.

Fan controller is easy to setup and use, directions are clear. Works with a 5 wire existing controller. Only thing i don't like is that the remote takes 4 aaa batteries.

The light dimmer works also very well with a one button operation. If there was 1 simple upgrade i would ask for it's that the orange light button glowed in the dark.



Cons

It is not worth the gamble of nearly $50. The constant restoring of 4 batteries makes the control almost unusable. Tried to return the product, then got blamed for bad wiring.
