Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hunter 27183 Fan/Light Preset Dual Slide Fan/Light Control
Customer Review: Extremely Low Quality
Summary: 1 Stars
I've installed several of these dual controls throughout the house and I have had to replace every one within a year of installation due to the slider controls breaking. It's a great concept but the quality of the product is severly lacking.Customer Review: Fits a lot in a small space
Summary: 3 Stars
I added a ceiling fan with light as part of a remodel. I definitely wanted a dimmer for the light and wanted to be able to turn the fan on/off from the wall switch (speed control was a bonus). There are other dual slider switches out there, but this was the only one with a master on/off switch. Unfortunately, the on/off switch controls both the light and the fan. I think I'd like it better if it controlled just the light.
I was a little annoyed that the switch comes in only one color (a putty gray). It would have been nice if they offered the same white/almond/ivory choice available for most switches.
Also, the switch unit is VERY large. If you have more than one cable coming into a standard box, it's a really tight fit. I definitely recommend an extra deep box if possible.
Customer Review: Great functionality, terrible quality
Summary: 1 Stars
We installed a ceiling fan/light in our master bedroom as part of a remodel and were able to run the required 3-wire romex to work the fan and light separately from the switchbox. After weeks of work, we installed the Hunter switch as the cherry on top. We were ecstatic. It took a while to get used to the slider switches and the master on/off switch for the preset felt a little chintzy, but we were quickly spoiled by the smooth dimmer and 4-speed fan control. Our joy lasted less than a year. The knob on the fan control broke off. I could now see how the knobs were attached to the sliders and it looks like they are designed to fail: a blade in the back of the knob is pressure-fit into a slot in the thin plastic slider. When you screw down the cover plate on a switch, you expect the job to last for years or decades. This switch lasted only a few months. Very disappointing.Customer Review: Hunter fan light control

The control panel is good for the fans for speeds of fans can be controlled here.
Because the new low energy light is not able to be dimmed, this part of the control is obselete. If your lights under the fan is made of of light bulbs, it is fine then.

this is a pretty flimsy dual switch, but apparently there is no real alternative for the price; it will do, but count on the switch knobs breaking off at some point and having to replace the entire assembly
