Tools and Hardware Reviews of Lutron MAW600H-WH Electronics Maestro Duo Dimmer, White single pole switch
Customer Review: Excellent, full-featured dimmer
Summary: 5 Stars
Great dimmer switch. I installed this in our theater/entertainment room. I love the double-tap to make it go full brightness. I love the delayed off for exiting the long room so I can still see and get upstairs, esp after watching a scary movie :). Highly recommend.Customer Review: Great Dimmers

Summary: 4 Stars
My electrician told me that I must have a lot of money to waste as he installed these switches in our remodel.
If you live alone and never entertain this is a great product. Guest don't tap, they punch and break them. Children tap them and say, "wow" then tap, Tap, TAP too hard and break them. Visiting in-laws and the elderly need help operating those "crazy light switches." Yes, I've heard granddad say I should just get a $.79 switch that works.
After 7 years living with Lutron Maestro dimmers installed in my homes bathroom 6 of 7 have had the main tap pad punched in and broken.
Only one switch has survived from the initial remodel because it is in the far corner of the room controlling the lighting in an always on art nook.
Take careful note of the reviews. Only the new installs are getting high reviews. The folks that have lived with this product a while are throwing away hundreds of dollars in switches and shopping for a different brand.
UPDATE: 9/2/2010 After Contacting Lutron.

Customer Review: This is an energy saver!
Summary: 4 Stars
This dimmer works great! It's intuitive and easy to use, and it looks great too.
Don't believe the reviewers who claim this dimmer won't save energy. Being somewhat skeptical about those claims I used a Kill-A-Watt (P3 International P4460 Kill A Watt EZ Electricity Usage Monitor) to measure the energy consumed by a 40W light bulb connected to this dimmer, and there's no doubt it reduces energy use. Significantly too, if you dim more than just a little bit.
Does it reduce energy use by as much as Lutron claims? Will it extend the life of your light bulbs as mush as they claim? Who knows... but it will reduce your energy bill and look good doing so :)
