 Worth the money Aug 14, 2010
By J. Zglinicki
Was taken aback by the price for this fan compared to others. We went to the local big box hardware store where they had a display demonstrating noise levels for fans of three different sound levels, and found that the sound level for this fan supposedly was significantly quieter than the typical fan. It was going in the bathroom next to our family room, so we decided to give it a try.
Our old fan was about the size of a shoe box for a kid's pair of shoes, was rated at 50 cfm, and was loud enough that we couldn't hear anything else in the bathroom when it was on. In fact, we could hear it running in other parts of the house, let alone the family room.
This new fan is much bigger, about the size of a shoe box for a pair of men's work boots, and also is rated at 50 cfm. But it's so quiet that we specifically have to listen for it to tell that it's on, even when in the bathroom itself. Yet it still draws at least as much air as our old fan.
Installation was straight forward. We had extra screws left over, e.g. for a 4"-to-3" outlet reducer we didn't need, but was a nice thought. We like the flap in the outlet that blocks backdrafts when the fan's off. And the springs used to hold the cover flush against the ceiling are clever.
If I'd have to find a complaint, it would be that they didn't include wire nuts. Certainly not a big deal. The instructions aren't the clearest, and a bit confusing at points. But, seriously, after reading through them a couple times, installation went smoothly and easily the first time.
We're considering it money well spent.

Strong silent type Feb 27, 2009
By T. Hamel
You may look at the price of this fan and say, "Hey! I can buy four fans at Home Depot for that amount!" And those four fans will be noisy, rattling affairs that won't move air and won't last a year. This baby is dead silent (really - I had to get on a step ladder next to it to make sure it was on) and yet it moves 50 CFM with an oversize squirrel-cage fan (the secret) and an excellent solid state Panasonic motor. If you want to do the job right (and only once) spend the money - buy this fan! (And no - I don't work for Panasonic or own their stock.)

Panasonic Whisperfit Fan Feb 20, 2007

We bought this fan because it was recommended by Consumer's Report.
It is soooooo.... quiet. We love it and the installation wasn't too hard.

 Good but watch QC Nov 07, 2011
By Doogie
Have installed two fans which are working well. Instructions for retrofit installations are not very complete so takes some trial and error to get it right. Would give higher rating but the quality control of these fans is poor at this time. It took four fans to get two that worked quietly; there was some fan rubbing causing noise on two of the fans. Thought something got caught in the fans during installation but wasn't the case. Hopefully fans will hold up for the long run. Amazon was great about exchanging the problem fans.

Good Mar 11, 2012
By Michael Kelly
Just finished installing the 110 CFM model and thought I'd say a few words about how it went. First of all, this was installed in a bathroom, in order to replace another model that had failed. There is no access from above, so everything had to be done from below. A few others have noted that they completed the installation from below by removing "thumb screws" that hold the motor to the housing. This may have been the case with earlier models, but the thumb screws are no longer found on these. You need an extra long screwdriver to remove screws that attach the motor assembly to the housing, not a big problem, but I just wanted to point it out. Further, the instructions clearly say that this model cannot be installed without attic access. Well, it can...not easily..but it can be done. I had to remove the vent pipe assembly from the housing (if you are keeping track, I now had three separate pieces: housing, motor assembly, vent assembly)and reach through the hole and wire the vent assembly (which also contains the electrical assembly)as well as attach the vent hose. Not a big deal. I then mounted the vent assembly to the side of the hole, using the flange at the bottom. I then slid the housing onto it, screwed the flange to the ceiling, and then slid the motor unit into the housing. A couple of words about how quiet this is...you'll see some reviewers say that it is "silent" and they could not tell it was running. While I cannot speak for lower CFM models, I can tell you that this is far from silent. It is hooked toa 4" hose, so that shouldn't be causing restriction and any increase in sound. Nevertheless, it is not TOO loud, and many times quiter than the Broan that I had, so I am not complaining at all, just pointing out that if you think that you won't hear it, then buyer beware. Looks to be a quality unit (especially as compared to the one that I pulled out) and I expect many years of service from it. Oh, one final thing...the description indicate that this has a baffle that will keep air from coming back "in" from outside. Well, it does have a baffle, but it is only 3/4 the size of the outlet..not even close to an airtight seal. You must have a baffle in-line or at the end of the vent tube. The one that comes attach to the unit is virtually useless.
