Would Not RecommendHad to have it replaces after six months of purchasing it. Not sure if new one will last. Not happy with Lowe’s right now. Have another review to report on refrigerator that’s also one star.

Too basic, cannot programs back on
Would Not RecommendUnfortunately, I had no choice of available options at Lowes. Electrician will be $100 to return. In a regional power outage, lost its code, now neither fan nor light will turn on. My old unit was much better. Who wants an on off? Would you drive a one speed car? I still need code to turn on, various methods won’t work, it’s three months old
failed after 3 months
Would Not Recommenddon't buy this remote switch for a hunter fan. Stopped working after 3 months.
trash
Would Not RecommendI had two of these remotes installed in separate rooms. One lasted 2 months and the other just went a little over 4 months. I highly recommend you do not buy this product. They do not last.

Harbor Breeze Remote
Would Not RecommendI bought two of these within a 6 month - 8 month timeframe. They both failed working within that timeframe. I will look at other brands to meet my needs.

Died after 4 months

Hi JKyle, This sounds like a common symptom of the remote having lost its sync to the fan. This can happen when power is turned off to the fan via th...
Comes on every time
Would RecommendThis is a cool little contraption for the person like myself, that doesn’t constantly want to pull the chain for the light to come on all the time when you only have (1) wall switch that works the light & fan together. It’s designed so that you can turn the light on & off and the fan as well. It only has (1) setting for the fan, which is on or off, so whatever speed you have it on, that’s the speed it will stay on when you turn it off and then back on. They have another kind that has the differe...

Basic remote
Would Not RecommendEasy install, however has on/off functions only!!!! Useless for multiple speed fans and light dimmer!!!! Package should specify this!!!!! I would not have bothered buying this if I would’ve known.
DocJ,
We apologize for the confusion. You're correct; the remote is an on/off remote.
Only one speed control.
Would Not RecommendThis is just an off on remote. No dimmer or speed control.
Archie,
Yes. This is an on/off remote. It will only turn your fan motor and light on or off.
Do not recommened
Would Not RecommendI have a Harbor Breeze ceiling fan that works on remote ONLY. I do not recommend this product. I had to pay someone to have it installed, and now I have to return this product because it does not dim the light, or switch from high to medium to low for the fan setting. Very dissatisfied with this product!! OH, and this is my 3rd replacement I have had to put in the fan, so this makes it even worse. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!!!
This remote is on/off only. We apologize for the inconvenience. We know your time is valuable.

remote control
Would Not RecommendThis remote didn't specify that it didn't offer more than one speed ie; low, medium or high. It was the only universal remote for a ceiling fan that Lowe's had available, a big disappointment for a huge store... Now I need to take it back for a refund and hire the electrician to return to remove it and install another one that will offer additional speeds for the fan.
Sharon,
We're sorry to hear that you purchased the 1-speed on/off remote by accident. We know your time is valuable. While we don't know the in...
Terrible Product
Would Not RecommendInstalled 3 of them in separate rooms. They worked fine, controlling each fan individually and on day 3, one room lost sync between the remote and fan. I followed the instructions and reprogrammed, but after the reprogramming that one remote was turning the light and fan on in all of the other rooms as well. No tech support available. I’ve already returned and moved on to a more reliable product.
