Tools and Hardware Reviews of Leviton 612-6230M-W Decora 30-15-10-5 Preset Minute Electronic Timer, White
Customer Review: Works as advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought two of these - one for each bathroom. Installation was easy, and the timer works as advertised.
As other reviewers have noted, this product requires the unswitched power be available at the wall box where the timer is mounted. It can't be made to work if the unswitched power goes to the ceiling box where the ceiling fan is mounted and only the two wires for the switch come down to the wall box. If you've got that kind of setup, you'll need to go with an old-fashioned mechanical timer instead.
Customer Review: Installed for bathroom exhaust fan
Summary: 5 Stars
I previously purchased the Leviton LCD timer switch, which I would also highly recommend. Both switches require a neutral wire connection so check your wiring before purchasing. The switch itself is a bit bulky compared to a regular switch so if you have a lot of wiring stuffed in the box, you may have to move it around. Otherwise, installation is not particularly difficult.
[UPDATE 2010/08/16] Product image has been corrected since I wrote this originally in 2007. No problems with the switch yet.
Customer Review: Leviton fan timer switch
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a high quality switch that I installed for my bathroom fan. It is very easy to install and convenient - the timer can be set at 30, 15, 10, and 5 minutes (once turned on, the time increments can be reset to more or less minutes at any time simply by pressing the desired button).
Just make sure that you buy the 20 amp switch (#6230 for 30-minute switch and #6215 for 15-minute switch)if you are using this to control a fan (the 5 amp switch won't work).
Definitely an energy saver!
Customer Review: Excellent money saver!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought and installed three of these for the bathroom exhaust fans in the house. This particular model is for exhaust fans in particular. They have a lower amp model for lighting. Works great and installation was a breeze. Finally the fan is shut off automatically. I bought this unit over other manufacturer offerings because it has a button for each of the time increments. Other manufacturers models had a single button requiring you to press it multiple times to get the desired duration.Customer Review: Good product, just make sure your wiring can handle it
Summary: 5 Stars
This is wonderful product for venting the bathroom especially if you have kids. I have one bathroom that doesn't have one and the fan is always on blowing my conditioned air outside. So that is why I got this one.
You need to make sure though that your wiring can handle this. If you don't have a neutral wire at the switch location forget it. Generally this means you need at least two white wires wire nutted together, but there are other ways to have a neutral.
