What's the best fan for small bathroom need whole kit

Asked by: Sdh1976

The ventilation from this fan works perfectly fine for our main floor powder room, and it definitely is not a noisy fan. The greater the CFM (cubic foot per minute) of air movement from the fan the greater the ventilation. However, the air movement needs to be balanced against your tolerance for sound of the fan measured in sones. The greater the sone level the nosier the fan. To determine your fan needs simply compute the cubic feet of your bathroom (LxWxH), determine the air ventilation requirements (low, medium, high), and your tolerance for fan noise.

These 2 units are for retrofit in our bathrooms. about 10 year old condo building, and ceiling cut is 10" x 10". Is these unit can fit in the existing hole, and vent size (I belive 3" in place, but is there parts avail. for this joint work ?. Thanks,

Asked by: young fellow

Your 10" x 10" cutout is slightly large however the fan cover should hide the excess cutout. The fan vent size is 4" therefore you will need to purchase a 4" to 3" reducer which are readily available.

Can this be mounted on the wall instead of the ceiling 

Asked by: Reggieray

You'd need a pretty Thick wall, 6" of clearance. The squirrel cage (blades) on the shaft of the motor will not be balanced so the bearings may not last for 20 years... But it would work. Martin Politick, May 2018.

Bathroom Fan - Invent Series - 80 CFM is rated 3.4 out of 5 by 9.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Barrie1 from So quiet, you might not realize it's on! This is a terrific fan - I bought two for each of my bathroom renovations. Very quiet, very efficient. A bit strange that you have to remove the motor assembly to install the duct flap, so a bit of pre-work required before installation. All in all, great value for the money - and the fan cover is substantially larger than the hole required for the fan box, so if you cut the ceiling hole a bit too large, no one will know.

Rated 1 out of 5 by chrishavens from Sounds Terrible I purchased this fan because the demo model was quiet in the store. Once installed there was a rattling sound, after a lot of investigating, the back pressure from the soffit exhaust makes the rattle sound in the fan itself. If the soffit exhaust is removed and there is no restriction of air flow the fan is quiet. I will be removing this fan and returning it. If you are purchasing this fan make sure you have at least a 5-6" vent, 4" will not be large enough.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Pony1959 from It could have been 5*...if only This fan was easy to install in an existing bathroom. My only complaint is it's not nearly as quiet as what we heard in the store, (-1*) and also the way the springs are used to hold the grill to the ceiling are poorly designed!!(-1*). Mine constantly popped out of the grill on one end. Redesign of how grill is attached is badly needed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Disappointed19 from Horrible bath fan! Gets lots of backdrafts as if there no barrier whatsoever to outside air. My bathroom is really cold now. Never had this issue with the previous fan that we replaced it this one. Will have to replace it ASAP. Total waste of money

Rated 4 out of 5 by twhitema from Good fan I installed this fan in my bathroom. Installation was straight forward. Fan has good suction power and is relatively quiet. When listening carefully, there is a minor rattle (I think it's the backdraft preventer in the duct, which attaches to the fan housing), though I don't hear it over the noise of the shower, otherwise this fan would get 5 stars.

Rated 3 out of 5 by impulsively from Works fine but loud and rattly I bought two of these to be installed in my new house (contractor installed so I can't comment on that, though he did say it seemed to have a big footprint), and while it vents fairly well, they both are quite loud and have a tinny rattling sound as if something is loose, even though I've checked carefully and there isn't. It's fine for the price.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mojo05 from Good fan Installation was very straight forward as the fan mechanism is fully removed from the housing allowing for ease of installation of the housing frame and duct work. The fan is slightly louder than anticipated but a huge improvement over the previous washroom fan. Ventilation performance is very good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Politick from Very quiet and very ready to install. I bought this for a bathroom Reno. Very easy to install because you pull the entire fan out of the mounting metal box, screw the empty box in the ceiling, the just push & click the fan back in. I was surprised how QUIET the fan was for the price. I would buy it again. Martin Politick December 2017
