Customers like the quality of the electronic switch. They mention it's well-made, dependable, and sturdy. The construction quality is great for the price, and it saves time while saving wear and down time of their saw. The pedal is very good and the switch is made of heavy plastic, making it plenty robust enough for their use. They say it'll easily stop and start their shop vac while using their miter saw, and is perfect to add quick shut-off to grinders, a miter-saw, and a drill press.

19 customers mention19 positive0 negative

Customers find the control of the electronic switch to be great. They mention that it allows them to keep both hands free to work on shaving and shaping of the ice, collect and shape the shave, and that it's handy for two-hand control.

14 customers mention5 positive9 negative

Customers are mixed about the cord length of the electronic switch. Some mention that it's nice, while others say that it is too short to plug in over counter. The cord comes out of the side, and not the rear. It will not go to the floor from a kitchen counter.

"Works great but the cables are too short for standard countertops to the floor. The pedal runs away from the work area." Read more

"If you are buying an ice shaver, this device is a must. It’s long enough to have on a high counter and plug into an outlet as well." Read more

"...Due to this set up, the cable coming from the pedal sticks out to the right. This set up could cause more of a tripping hazard...." Read more

"...I do wish the cord were longer, but it did explain the size in the listing so that is on me." Read more

11 customers mention5 positive6 negative

Customers are mixed about the weight of the electronic switch. Some mention it's very light, but easy enough to fasten to something heavy. The AC line cord is very heavy, while others say that it'll scoot a bit. The switch is lightweight, but has a tendency to not stay put.

"...Two issues: one is that being plastic the switch is lightweight and has a tendency to not stay positioned at times caused by the stiff power cord ...." Read more

"...This switch does that perfectly.The switch is very light, so it needs to be fastened down...." Read more

"...The cord on the switch seems to be pretty heavy. I have no concerns over the capabilities of it in the long run." Read more

"...It is lightweight and scoots around a bit on the floor. Again, nothing really that's impeding any work...." Read more

9 customers mention4 positive5 negative

Customers are mixed about the speed of the electronic switch. Some mention that it's faster and more productive, while others say that it is not variable speed.

"...Lift your foot and the saw stops. This is not a speed control. The speed is controlled by a knob on the saw...." Read more

"...This saves ma time while saving wear and down time of my saw. Love it" Read more

"Works just as advertised. A simple switch! No it does not have variable speed but that's what your machine is for!..." Read more

"...They are both tied to the foot pedal and life is faster and more productive. I can also respond to questions faster by lifting my foot." Read more
