Others say...

"Got three years out of it"
Like others, maybe this unit lasted three years and it's a tremendous pain to un-install and re-install.

"Bad product"
I was very excited to install these in all the rooms in our house. I was not so excited to remove them a week later after being woken by lights and fans turning themselves off and on with no rhyme or reason. We live in a metropolitan area and our house is likely bombarded by radio waves, so this might work for a hermit living on a mountain top, but not anyone in a city.

"5 yrs. then Kaput! (wireless receiver)"
I got 5 yrs. good service out of my Hunter wireless remote teamed up with a Hunter Mission fan, then, one day, nada.

Customer service immediately pointed towards the receiving unit as the likely culprit and they were right, which leads me to believ there is a fairly high failure rate on these units. Waiting to see whether I'll be compd a replacement or if I have to buy one.

As it is a PITA to take the blades/light kit/et. cetera off in order to change it out, I'm going to hard-wire the thing if I have to pay for another receiver myself.

"Junk"
Due to a pricing error at Lowes, I got this for only $30. I agree with the other reviewer. This is a complete piece of junk. It works intermittently, or not at all. Find another solution, or save your money and just use the chains to change the fan speeds.

"Lights go on and off"
I strongly recommend not buying this, or any other Hunter remote. They have problems where the light kit will inexplicably turn on (or off). It's especially frustrating in the middle of the night. Hunter says it's because of RF interference. Well, I also have a Harbor Breeze fan with a Harbor Breeze remote with no such problems.

What our customer's say!

"A popular remote, so change the frequenies.", As an electrician, I see and install this remote as well as many others. Most remote systems come with DIP switches that allow you to change the frequency of the wireless signal in order to avoid interference. Most commonly, you alter these so that fans in adjoining rooms don't come on at the same time with one remote.

Since this is a popular product, and most people just install it "as-is," there are a lot of fans all running on the same (default) frequency. Do yourself a favor and flip a couple of the DIP switches on the remote and receiver (make sure they match).

One of the nicest things about this remote is that it doesn't actually need to be wired into anything. The wires for the switch act only as a service disconnect. This switch could be installed in any switchbox, even an empty one, regardless of where the fan gets power from.

The canopy module is no larger or more difficult than any other wireless-style fan remote to install. In fact it is slightly smaller than average.

"Poorly Designed Product", Wow. Where do I begin? This is one of the most poorly designed products I have ever seen. First, just so you know, it requires a battery--not included (the packaging lets you know this in VERY small print in the back). The battery size it requires is A23--a very obscure size. The packaging appears to show that the unit comes with a face plate. It does not (even though all other wall switch transmitters I've seen include this). The transmitter wall mount has the ground wire extend well below the frame...which makes it so that you have to virtually rip it off in order to attach it to the box. The receiver is too large and extremely difficult to fit into a bracket hanger. If you have the light set to dim and you turn it off, the next time you turn it on, it is back up to the brightest setting. If the power goes out, when it comes back on, the light automatically turns on to the brightest setting--not good if your 3-year-old is trying to sleep. Do yourself a favor and, if you can, purchase the Hampton Bay...or maybe Hunter has a better unit available that I haven't seen. I haven't tried the Harbor Breeze or Hampton Bay unit that requires the standard 9 volt battery (which the packaging clearly states). But I have tried the unit that connects to your power from the original switch so that you don't need to worry about ever replacing a battery (this may not be an option if a wall switch or electrical box is not already where you intend to install the transmitter). It installs much easier, it remembers your light setting every time you turn it off and back on, and it comes with a face plate.

"dissappointing", This switch looks great and works poorly. I have had it for a week now installed by an electritian and like the others say, light and fan at full blast come on in the middle of the night/day for no appearent reason. I knew I was taking a risk from previous reviews but wanted a Hunter wall switch to match the hunter fan hoping the issues would be less. Anyone have an idea about a possible Cassablanca wall switch that will work with this?

"50/50", I have 2 1/2 of these units. One in my dining room, one in the living toom, and 1/2 (remote only) at the top of the stairs to my living room. I have had these for over two years. The living room light and fan now turn on whenever they want. It's extremely frustrating. The dining room unit is still working perfectly fine. However, I would not purchase this item again. I will be researching others to replace the malfunctioning unit.

"They work great for me", All i Can say, is that they work just fine for me. Sure, installation was a bit of a hassle, but that had more to do with the poor installation of my fans from the previous owner. I have had none of the problems that have been reported by the other usesrs.
