Review title: awful switch construction
Product review: I did not buy my dual slide control from Amazon, and I'm really sorry now that I didn't see the reviews here before I did. I bought two of these switches in August 2008, and one of them disintegrated last month. Exact same thing as other people have said here -- the knob of the slider that controls the light (which, unlike the fan, I use all year round) broke off, leaving only a tiny nub of plastic. I was making do with that until tonight, when the nub also broke off. Now I can't use the light switch. The design of the switch was great, but I can't say the same for the construction quality. Time from purchase to disintegration: less than 9 months. Unhappiness at the prospect of paying for a new switch and a second service call from the electrician during this "recession": considerable. If there were negative stars, I would give them.
