Leviton IllumaTech 1.5A Quiet Step Rotary Fan Speed Control, Single Pole, RTF01-10Z, White/Ivory/Light Almond

I have a 52" Hunter ceiling fan (similar to https://www.amazon.com/Hunter-53091-Builder-Fan-Brazilian/dp/B00DF4ICX0) in my bedroom and recently rewired it so that the wall switch has separate light and fan controls. I have been on a hunt to find a ceiling fan speed controller that has good settings. I originally bought a Leviton DSF01-10Z (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NJ298BI) because I thought it looked better, more discrete. But I was unhappy with the speed settings on this controller. The high was like hurricane force and the medium was too slow. The low setting was like nothing. This controller may work well for ceiling fans that move more air, but not mine.What I wanted was one that had a speed somewhere between the high and the medium of my current controller. So I bought this one because one reviewer said that the high setting on this was between the high and medium of their controller. It is. In fact here's how I would rate the speeds of these two controllers:This controller :: Leviton DSF01Max = HighHigh > MediumMedium > MediumLow = MediumLow > LowSo, if you want a fan speed controller with an overall higher level of speed settings, this is your controller. I'm happy with this purchase, even though I think it looks pretty stupid. I'm truly happy with the speed settings and think that they are very appropriate settings for my Hunter fan. I hope this helps whomever may be trying to decide between all the different fan speed controller options.

Works, I like the form factor, simple to install, looks nice.

the rotary dial button is small and slippery. It needs to be firmly gripped to turn. If the dial had a bigger diameter and was textured then that would solve the problem.

Buen producto cumple con las especificaciones técnicas y de calidad mencionadas

Got this as a replacement to my fan switch. This product was easy to install and it looked pretty. I would recommend this controller to friends.

Speed one just hums and motor gets hot no turning. Speed two jet engine speed three and four tsunami.

Well, this switch is just meh. It's deeper than my prior rotary fan switch, which in a crowded electrical box, makes installation a little difficult. The knob is smooth and glossy, and not very tall, and small, making it hard to grip and turn, why not some texture or knurling?. The 5 positions don't correspond to the printed positions on the cover plate (the knob rotates about 180 degrees, but the printed positions are on a narrower arc), so it's sort of confusing which setting the knob/switch is set to. I'm using this on a Broan bath fan, the lowest speed setting is sort of useless. About the only positive thing is that it includes three colors (white, beige, almond), but I only needed the white, so the extra plastic is just going to recycling. I guess it does function, so there's that....

I gave this one a try as it was the most reasonably priced of the well-reviewed fan switches, when I opted for this approach over the remote version of my two new ceiling fans. It did not disappoint: It looks, feels, and behaves like a much more expensive unit; if I were to guess its cost, I’d easily say $25-40.I was initially concerned about the low price, as other “budget” switches got flamed in their reviews, and...you get what you pay for. I can assure you that, while this isn’t the most sleek and modern looking switch if its kind, it is solid.The speed thing goes something like this: You set your fan’s pull switch to the highest setting, and the switch takes it from there. The Max setting is likely a 100% pass-through, with them staggered in a linear fashion down to the Low setting, which is slow enough to where you can see the individual blades turn.If you are more concerned with value than looks, you won’t be compromising build quality or performance with this buy.
