### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Quality Switch
*by J***G on July 27, 2026*

Excellent quality switch. Easy to install, smooth operation, and solid construction. It works perfectly and has a clean, modern look. Great value for the price. I would definitely buy Leviton again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very good switch
*by C***R on July 29, 2026*

works great , nice quality and price

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good rocker switch to use even for transfers from toggle switches
*by B***N on November 5, 2025*

Got two of these nifty little switches these have a nice tactile feel to them. Installation was nice the screws were nice. These played a good role in transitioning from a toggle pole switch to rocker switch. they’re a nice glossy white. The turning on of the switch has a nice tactile tone. it’s not too big so it fit in a normal double switch box but it was reaching its limit. The weight is nicely heavy. the out of the box first impression feels like the metal, screws, and the white part give off that it was crafted with durable materials but only the test of time tell. Once this replaced the old broken/quite literally corroded switch it felt like I was brought back to the present time with this modern looking and feeling switch device which allows you to manipulate electricity at the tip of your finger and all while simultaneously having anti microbial properties having my place cleaner.
