I have not used this particular model, but it appears from the description to be an on/off (fans are either on or off, although staggered by a few seconds to reduce the starting surge). I prefer this PWM controller from Autocoolguy.com, although it was more expensive. Then the fans only run as fast as needed (and the temp setting is knob selectable). It can be mounted under the hood, too.

We've typically used the Dakota digital units and have had good luck so far. They're pretty adjustable, can run 1 or 2 fans turning the second one on when programmed to a temp. Etc. Price friendly, their support on their products is excellent as is their reliability.
only drawback is they want them in the car as they are not water proof. I put then in a 5.00 project box and under the hood they go wink

That looks like a good deal for the Davies Craig.

Otherwise, Amazon has tons of other generic brands for cheap.

I have one of the expensive controllers (can't recall the brand) and the Amazon ones look identical to it and are less than half the price.
