DewStop FS-100 Condensation Control Sentry Fan Switch, White Review

I also saw this in the Family Handyman. Install was easy (Note plan ahead and make sure you have the right switch cover plate if there are other switches with the fan switch). There is a bypass feature to prevent fan from coming on if you are intentionally trying to steam things up (nice!). Fan will run for 30 min whether you manually turn it on or if it comes on automatically. My only wish is that the control would instead turn the fan off after the humidity level returns to normal (could take less than 30 min). Sold my neighbor on buying one already.

The DewStop FS-100 Condensation Sentry Fan Switch is ideal for preventing the growth of mold and mildew created by condensation from baths and showers. The switch features a clever sensor that constantly monitors temperature, humidity, and dew point and automatically turns on your fan when the air becomes too heavy. Once a room's condensation level is brought down, the sensor will trigger the fan to turn off. You can rely on the sensor to work automatically, or you can manually control your fan with the button located on the switch. For those times when you choose to turn the fan on yourself, a 30-minute fan timer will automatically turn it off to help you save money and electricity.
Save on Energy and Maintenance Costs Using an exhaust fan to rid a bathroom of humidity can be a tricky balancing act. Turn it off too soon, and you may leave behind damaging moisture. Leave it on too long, and you waste energy by sending heated or cooled air outside unnecessarily. Because the DewStop only comes on when needed and stops after 30 minutes, it helps you save on home maintenance and energy costs.
Make Your Fan a Smart FanWith the DewStop Condensation Sentry Fan Switch, you can transform your bathroom from ordinary to intelligent. This clever switch features a "Condensation Sentry", which constantly monitor's temperature, humidity, and dew point to determine a room's condensation level. If the sensor detects rising condensation levels, it will automatically turn on your fan and keep it on until the condensation is no longer a concern and your room is dry.
Automatic or Manual Fan ControlYou can rely on the DewStop Condensation Sentry Fan Switch's sensor to control condensation for you, or you can manually turn on your fan when needed--a built-in timer will turn the fan off after 30 minutes, or you can turn the fan off yourself before the time is up.
Perfect for Bathrooms, Laundry Rooms, and Home SpasThe DewStop Condensation Sentry Fan Switch is great for use in bathrooms, laundry rooms, sun rooms, spa rooms, and all condensation-prone areas of the home. Packaged as a single fan switch that's easy to install, this unique device can be connected with any residential fan you care to use.
NOTE: A closed room and quality fan properly sized for the room is essential to the successful removal of moisture. DewStop only detects condensation, it cannot stop it.
Easy InstallationWhether your fan is controlled by a timer or toggle, you'll have no trouble removing its switch and replacing it with DewStop. DewStop's size and shape are the same as a rocker switch, so it will fit right into your existing single-switch position. DewStop comes with a decor/rocker single-position color-matching faceplate, but it can be used with a faceplate of any color or configuration designed for a rocker-type light switch.
Prevents Mold, Mildew, and Expensive RepairsMold needs moisture and time to grow. If left unchecked, it can get into walls and cause costly cosmetic, health, and structural problems. That's why the DewStop Condensation Sentry Fan Switch ensures your room is never left damp, so mold has little chance to grow. DewStop does this by detecting moisture and running your fan long enough to dry out a damp environment. This greatly reduces the formation of mold, mildew, and harmful bacteria and saves you from expensive repairs.
The DewStop Condensation Sentry Fan Switch is UL certified. It has an electrical input of 120 volts and a maximum fan load of 3 amps.

Casablanca K4K-49 Four-Light Swivel Bullet Fixture with Center-Stem, Washed Bronze Review

Casablanca K4K-11 Four Light Swivel Bullet Fixture with Center-Stem, Snow White
As with any lamp, styling that suits you is paramount. In our case, this lamp is just what we were looking for. We've had the Casablanca predecessor to this lamp over our dinette table for 23 years and still think it's perfect. (Check with casablancafans dot com to see if your fan will accommodate this lamp kit, before ordering.)
The lamp comes with a pull chain in the center. The chain switch has four clicks: off, two lamps on, the other two lamps on, four lamps on. Although all four lamps point straight down in the attached photos (choose the color name of "Snow White" to see Customer Images), each lamp can be swivelled up to nearly 90 degrees; once positioned to the angle of your choice, the lamp stays put.
This lamp requires candelabra based bulbs. It comes with four 40w incandescent bulbs which we replaced with 13w candelabra soft light compact florescent bulbs. The CFCs are equivalent to 60w incandescents and are plenty bright because the exposed bulbs have NO glass globes restricting the light output. With the small 40w incandescents, the bulbs were 1.5" back from the shade end. The CFCs are nearly flush with the shade end.
To install this lamp, remove the bottom cap of the fan and unscrew the 3/8" fan pipe screw that's in the center of that cap. Screw this lamp's threaded "pipe" into that cap and secure it with the included lock washer and nut, attach two wires (hot & neutral), and reattach the cap to the fan.

Tandem Whole House Fan Review

Tandem Whole House Fan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We purchased this fan to replace a 32" whole house direct drive fan. The reasons for replacing the other fan were the loss of heat through the uninsulated louvers and the racket it made when operating.
The installation was not very difficult and the insulating door did seal the opening and limited the heat loss.
The maunfacturer touted the super quiet operation of this product. NO WAY! This fan is as noisy as the previous one. We rarely use it. Instead of the sound of a freight train the other fan made, this one sounds like a 747 taking off.
If its quiet you want, you don't want this fan.

LED Projectables 11282 Solar System Night Light Review

LED Projectables 11282 Solar System Night Light
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Considering the price, this is a pretty good little buy. We've only had it for a few days so I can't comment on its longevity or durability, but it's very user-friendly for my daughter (doesn't get hot, easy to rotate), and I like that it's light-sensitive so it turns itself on and off. However, as you can see in the picture, it only rotates back and forth (not side-to-side and it does not swivel at the base), so your adjustment options are pretty limited. It plugs right into the socket so you have to find a wall socket that's not blocked by anything or put on a power strip and set it out (which is what we did). If you're looking for a little cartoon of planets for your kid to look up at, this works for you! If you want a large constellation projection on the ceiling, it is definitely not!

Lux Products ELV4 Programmable Line Voltage Thermostat Review

Lux Products ELV4 Programmable Line Voltage Thermostat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this thermostat (four of them actually) to replace four 28-year old analog thermostats controlling the baseboard heating in a condo I bought as a second home. These digital units immediately let me set temperatures without having to guess and constantly juggle to get a proper temperature as the old non-digital thermostats required. They hold temperatures within a nice narrow range (although they can be programmed via a dip switch to let temperatures fluctuate a bit more for possible energy savings) for each room. Installation was simple (note that you do want to cap off the second set of wires if you have a 120V system -- read the instructions and note how any existing thermostats are wired to make installation easy). The $2 faceplates which can be ordered separately seem to be necessary to get a finished look on the installation since the thermostats apparently do not mount flush to all boxes.
Each unit takes 2 batteries (AA) so get them before you install the unit. They recommend two major brands and no others -- probably a good idea to follow that suggestion. This is not a "rechargeable battery" setup.

With its clean, attractive design and electronic accuracy, the Lux ELV4 5-2 Programmable Line-Voltage Heating Thermostat is a must-have for any energy-conscious home. This cost-effective, energy-saving programmable thermostat is designed for electric baseboard, cable, and ceiling heat. It features separate programs for weekdays and weekends and offers four settings per day, as well as an option for vacation.
Multiple Programming OptionsProperly using a programmable thermostat is one of the easiest ways you can save energy and money. And the ELV4 makes saving as simple as can be--it offers four preprogrammed settings to regulate your home's temperature in the winter, while you're at home, when you're asleep, and when you're away. You can also use the on/off switch to turn the heat off during the summer when it is not needed.
For added flexibility, the ELV4 offers the convenience of separate weekend and weekday settings, a vacation hold setting, and a temporary temperature override for manual adjustments. A patented Lux Speed Dial allows for fast programming, and an easy-to-read display shows the current time and temperature.
Save Money and the EnvironmentLike all programmable thermostats, the ELV4 helps reduce energy consumption, but this efficient device takes savings a step further. To maximize your home's energy efficiency, the ELV4 comes preprogrammed with a default heating schedule that's designed to save up to 33% on energy costs over a year, and it can also help cut down on your carbon footprint. Because the ELV4 is 100% mercury free, you can be sure it's a safe and environmentally conscious choice for your home.

It's universal design allows it to work with both single-pole (two-wire) and double-pole (four-wire)systems, 120/240-volt systems up to 16 amps (resistive: 1,900 watts at 120 VAC/3,800 watts at 240 VAC), and line voltage (120/240-volt) hot water systems with motors up to 1/4 horsepower. The ELV4 easily fits into a wall-mounted junction box.
Two 'AA' alkaline batteries are required for operation (batteries not included).

Monte Carlo Fan WT150 Remote Fan Wall Mount Control Review

Monte Carlo Fan WT150 Remote Fan Wall Mount Control
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been through about 3 of these. They all seem to share a common design fault of draining the battery in 1-2 months.
Other than that, they work just fine
:-(
I am evaluating wall controls from other manufacturers that:
1. Communicates to the UC7067 receiver usually used in these ceiling fans
2. Uses wall voltage instead of batteries.
Looks like Monte Carlo doesn't make any that meet these requirements.

4 Inch W Hanging Head Dragonfly Fanlite Shade Ceiling Fixture Review

4 Inch W Hanging Head Dragonfly Fanlite Shade Ceiling Fixture
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The item I ordered was not what was depicted in the picture of the fan lamp shades. Instead of a full set of 4 lampshades, I received one little lamp shade for my $66. These lampshades are small; about the size of a cocktail glass. In order to get a complete set of 4 I would have had to spend $264.00. So, I contacted Amazon, who told me to contact SABABA SHOPPING. The person at SABABA sent an RMA back to me, and I, in turn, returned the lone lamp shade. Well, its been 2 weeks and I have no lampshade and I sure didn't get my money back. The only reason this cluster even received one star is you have to check something in that category. As far as I'm concerned Amazon is as bad as Sababa for aiding and abetting this operation. Until Amazon cleans up the companies that they rent web space to, I will not buy another thing from this outfit.

Deco Breeze DBF0629 Outdoor Misting Kit Review

Deco Breeze DBF0629 Outdoor Misting Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Excited to receive this product I went about the directions, installing on a stainless steal outdoor fan I have on the patio. It snapped in to place perfectly, and thats all that went right. The flat fitting that is supposed to attach to the garden hose was sealed by a small O-ring. It did not fit securely, would not thread properly to two different garden hoses and leaked, not a little - a lot. Both ends of the hose that were to supply the water from the garden hose end to the mist ring leaked, not a little - a lot. I tried tightening the hose clamps on both ends to no avail. Which brings me to the "mist" ring. I was under the impression that when the water did get to the ring, it would be a mist - not a shower. I have a mist system on my patio that provides "mist". This unit provides a camp ground style shower. The holes in the misting caps are way to large to provide a mist of water. If I was a football player on the sidelines the mist might be suitable, not for providing a cool comforting mist for you guests on a patio settings. Save your money on this product and keep looking.

Instantly create a cool and welcoming backyard during summer's hottest stretches with this clever outdoor misting kit. Great for pool parties, picnics, and everyday outdoor play, the easy-to-use unit attaches to a standard garden hose and then clips to a grounded outdoor fan (sold separately) to produce a gentle, comfortable mist that takes the edge off heat and humidity. A smart way to protect loved ones--particularly children and pets--from dangerous overheating and dehydration, the outdoor misting kit measures approximately 12 by 1 by 18 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Inline 6" Centrifugal Duct Fan, Metal Housing 483 CFM Review

Inline 6 Centrifugal Duct Fan, Metal Housing 483 CFM
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm using this fan as a duct booster. I added two vents to a sunroom at the far end of our house but was getting very little airflow from our furnace due to the distances involved (about 50 feet thru a 6" duct, about half of that being insulated flex duct). I wasn't sure how much boost power I needed so bought a somewhat overpowered fan and also a speed control to slow it down if necessary. At full power, this fan blows a LOT of air, so much so that it robs a noticeable portion of the air from the other vents in the house, so I do use the speed control to tame it down. It's a bit noisier than I had hoped. There's absolutely no noise coming out of the vents that it actually feeds through the flex duct, but the fan noise does travel back to the main duct and out the other vents in the house. I added a duct muffler, which helped somewhat, but the noise level is still noticeably higher than that produced by the furnace blower alone. The fan seems to be well built. The installation instructions are good. The terminal block made it very easy to connect to AC power. I do wish the parts of the fan that mates with the ducts were a bit wider - there's not a lot of material there to work with. Regarding the speed controller, I actually bought two speed controllers along with a pressure switch. When the furnace blower is off, the pressure switch powers the fan with a controller set to a very low speed, which constantly gives the sunroom a bit of needed air circulation. When the furnace blower kicks on, the pressure switch switches to the other controller which is set at a higher speed and provides plenty of warm/cool air to the room.

Dayton 7F666 Attic Exhaust Fan With Classic Steel Color Review

Dayton 7F666 Attic Exhaust Fan With Classic Steel Color
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Too few and small blades, high speed fan.
Very loud once mounted on house frame (vibrates too much and transmits vibrations to the house framing.) Documentation probably does not point out proper mounting methods to reduce noise (or is it we hired an incompetent electrician? The guy mounted it directly on the house framing, without consideration of throughput versus vent size, without rubber pads we had to request ourselves, without any side framing to prevent air leak & re-circulation! Any mounting advice we found easily on the internet he simply ignored!)
This fan has no speed control (nor will it accept an add-on rheostat for this; the electrician stated it would burn the electric motor out!) This means the fan always operates at full speed, full noise level, regardless of environmental conditions.
The thermostat is industrial looking; as a result it can't be installed in convenient, reachable places. Our "smart" electrician installed it in the attic, for ever beyond reach once the bedroom ceiling finished... We had to make an access trap afterwards. In summer in Boston Metrowest, preset trigger temperature 90K roughly gets the fan running all day from 10:30AM to 2:00AM, preventing quiet sleep in the master bedroom until late at night!
Keep away from this non-sense. Get a fan with speed control in addition to thermostat. Get 5 blades instead of 3 (and larger blades if allowed by your space requirements) to allow operation at lower speeds. Throw in an override switch (not comprised in the already high price of that fan.)
BTW, I just found this on the internet: Broan Model #35316

you might want to try it instead of that Dayton nonsense...

I bought this timer to control the exhaust fans in my bathrooms. Be aware that like all timers, it is wide and deep. It requires patience and creativity to install in tight box. Also, since it is mechanical, there is a quiet ticking when in use. PROS: It does the job and looks OK. CONS: The mechanism feels delicate. I would not recommend for installation where it is likely to be abused (public area or place where used by children)
