Looking for a good fan speed controller

Been looking at this thing from ebay, looks really cool. Has anyone used one?

Was wondering if this would act as a automated fan speed controller?

It does say to only use with the phresh hyper fans , but has anyone tried to use this with another type of fan?

If there is something else I could look at that's good quality please let me know !!!Thanks guys!

I was running this one and very happy with it

Only switched because I went to a larger fan (hyperfan) and the new fan came with it's own fan controller already.

i use these and they work good for me

Works great and is fun to adjust -like a Frankenstein apparatus!!

you could spend 5-10 dollars at lowe's and buy a rheostat...

I had read that some speed controller switches actually turned the fan off and on at a really high rate and sometimes caused damage to fan motors as a result....So that's why I went with the variac switch, instead.

which, technically, is a rheostat...

idk, maybe i'm too old school. when i buy lights, i buy the components and wire/build it myself. why not, only takes ten minutes if you're not in a hurry? i plug and play, fuck dimming.

Easy enough to make your own but do not buy a light dimmer! Get a speed controller for a ceiling fan if you're going to DIY one. They sell ready made ones online for $20 - $45 so no need to spend much money if you just have one or two fans to hook-up.
