The switch was delivered QUICKLY. It appeared to be a very nice switch. It was about 2 weeks before I got a chance to install it. After installation, I was disappointed in the loud clicking noise it made. I could not use it in the morning due to the fact that someone was still sleeping. I was EVEN more disappointed after 2 additonal weeks when the switch failed to completely shut off (but clicked sporadically), causing the motor on the fan to start/stop fairly rapidly. Obviously, the motor in the fan would have been destroyed in a short period of time. I removed the switch. I bought an Intermatic switch locally and installed it. It is VERY quiet and has worked well thus far. Only time will tell how long it will last, but at least I am optimistic. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: By GUSR19 "JimE" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Air King AKDT60 Delay Timer Switch, White (Tools & Home Improvement) A pet peeve of mine was people leaving bathroom fans on indefinitely
because they do not think to turn them off after leaving the room. This solves the problem :-) Installation is pretty easy as long as there is space in the electrical box for something larger than a generic switch :-) 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: By Garett A Sohl (La Crescenta, CA United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Air King AKDT60 Delay Timer Switch, White (Tools & Home Improvement) I've had one of these installed in bathroom for the past year. It works great. I'm not sure about the other reviewer who commented on noises since mine doesn't make any noise at all.
My only complaint is that the switch toggle is skinny (more like a thin blade when compared with traditional light switches). The thin toggle feels a bit flimsy, but it hasn't broken and I don't think it will so it's just more of an impression I get when turning the switch on/off. |
