What Customers Are Saying

Customers acknowledge the switch performs its basic on/off function effectively, with many praising its affordability as a replacement part. However, significant concerns dominate: the complete lack of instructions forces users to rely on YouTube tutorials or prior experience, while many report poor build quality including sharp mechanisms that cut fingers, metal prongs damaging insulation, and housing that falls apart. Several warn of overheating and fire hazards. Experienced installers find it manageable, but non-electricians struggle considerably. Overall, while functionality satisfies some, substantial dissatisfaction with construction quality and safety concerns temper enthusiasm.

Nice rotary switch

Would Recommend

I liked the clear plastic and would have rated you 5 stars if you included instructions with the product. Fortunately I knew enough to check youtube and was surprised they gave me all the info I needed. Otherwise I would have returned the product because I couldn't understand how to install it.

Does the job with a little work

Would Not Recommend

The Lowe's worker said to just press the 2 halves together and it will work. This is DEFINITELY NOT that product. There were no instructions with this switch but the 2 halves don't fit together unless you cut one of the wires as shown in the photo. Common sense also dictates this. So if you feel comfortable with a couple of tools, you can make this work too. See photo.
