Fantastic fan,
Arrived within a week and worked flawlessly when install. It’s barely noticeable when running and it works great.

|Great quality bath fan,
I recently installed this bath fan in our small 240cuft bathroom. It has no problem getting the steamy air out of the room. It is very quiet and high in quality. I researched may other comparable models but decided on this one. I am very pleased with the purchase it and would absolutely recommend it to anyone. I feel it is priced very reasonably as well.

|This fan does NOT have a 3″ vent!,
The title says it all – this fan (as well as another Panasonic fan in the same order) came with a 3″ by 5″ oval vent. WTF? It does NOT have a standard 3″ round vent as both Panasonic and amazon claim. The instructions have some pictures of a unit with a round vent, and other pictures with the oval vent. I’ve installed quite a few bathroom fans, and NEVER seen one with an oval vent before. They must have a round version of this thing somewhere, but there’s no indication on the outside of the box that this is a totally non-standard vent.
The instructions claim that the oval vent can be fitted to a 4″ round pipe by squishing one end of the pipe into an oval shape. Maybe so, but the 4″ pipe will never fit into a standard 2×4 stud wall (which Panasonic claims the fan is designed for), will never pass a building inspection, and won’t fit the 3″ vent pipe I that I bought the fan to fit. It’s the most mickey-mouse thing I’ve even seen.
I’ll never know how quiet this fan is, because I’ve contacted the vendor (the Price Pros) for a refund.
