Super quiet and efficient fan!,

This review is from: Panasonic FV-08VSL1 WhisperValue-Lite 80 CFM Super Low Profile Ventilation Fan with Light, White (Tools & Home Improvement)
I had to replace my old Nutone vent fan. First I tried a Nutone 668RP which was supposed to fit right into the opening and save me some work. It didn't, I had to make the opening larger. Then the junction box was on the opposite side of the old fan so I had to put in another electrical box to extend the wires. Finally got it installed but when it was running it sounded like a helicopter taking off. The specs say 4 sones but it was more like 24 sones, and it didn't take out the moisture. I then ordered the Panasonic FV-08VSL1. After re-sizing the opening one more time, installation was fairly simple. At first the lights wouldn't work but I discovered I had missed one white wire hiding behind the others---there are a lot of wires!
You can barely hear this fan when it is running (1.3 sones) and it does an outstanding job of venting the humidity from the bathroom. This is the first time in 14 years we don't have fog on the bathroom mirror after a shower, and more...Read more

Our electrician recommended a Panasonic exhaust fan/light for our small bathroom shower. He told us it is the only brand he now uses because of the quality, construction, low sones and basic functionality.
We have had it in place for a few weeks and absolutely love it. It is low profile which is perfect for a small space and a tall husband. The light is excellent and the fan is quiet, but loud enough that you know it is running.
We are extrememly pleased and would highly recommend this particular fan to anyone.

This particular type of fan was recommended to us during an energy audit of our house. The results of the audit showed
that our house was well sealed, more than the average "bear". The only thing the auditor suggested was to get this type
of ceiling fan in the bathroom to remove excess moisture from that room and the rest of the house. He said it would also be good for pulling dead air from the house which would remove dust, smells and other obnoxious things. So we
bought it and had it installed, and it works, The fan is more powerful than typical exhaust fans and that is good!
We are very happy with this.
