Our Verdict on The Minka Aire WC212

We think that the Minka Aire Wc212 is a good buy, (Check Avability and price on Amazon) but you have to have Minka fans already or be planning to buy one as it only works with Minka fans. We also want to point out that even though some customers who left a review on Amazon complained about the tiny buttons and the lack of a backlight, a majority of them seem to opine that the wall control is a great buy and we agree with them. When put to the test, the Mink Aire wall controller did exactly what it was advertised to; control the fans correctly.
