Panasonic 110 CFM WhisperWarm Bathroom Fan/Heat/Light/Night-Light for 4" Duct

Top of Its Class

I installed one of these in the main bathroom a month or two ago. Apart from some awkwardness in wiring due to the small size of the triangular area sectioned off for use as a junction box, it wasn't too difficult to install. The result? Stunning! For the first time in any bathroom I've ever had (and there have been many!), even long showers create ZERO condensation. This bathroom was the ultimate test as it has a huge 8' x 5' wall mirror on which there is no moisture even from long hot showers on a cold morning when I didn't use the heater. But, more astounding is the extraordinary quiet of this baby. Even when I listen for it, I can barely hear it running. As for somebody's complaint that the CFLs don't last long, I can't speak to that but it wouldnt' be a big deal to me anyway since these lights dont' serve much purpose in my setup as I put in downlights above the shower and toilet and a large vanity light for the sink so having a light in the middle of the ceiling serves no real purpose. If the bulbs burn out, I'll probably leave them dead. I've bought a second one and I'm installing it over Labor Day weekend in the other bathroom.

Nice unit but goes thru lightbulbs quickly

I really like this unit. It moves a ton of air, keeps the mirror from fogging during showers. And it is very quiet. Sometimes I can't tell if it is on. However, it has been installed for about 1 year now and I have had to replace bulbs several times. It has (2) 4-way flourescent blubs in it and about every 3 months or so, one of them goes. I went to Panasonic.com to complain or even talk to support but apparently they don't care because their site has no mechanism to add product reviews, nor can you speak to a support person. So I'm leaving this review here at Westside Wholesale because this is where I bought the unit from.

Bottom line - would I buy this unit again? Yes, I would.

Quiet as a chruch mouse!

Quiet fan . Quick, effective heat source for our 8x8 bathroom. Love the night light and energy star rating. Our electrician was so impressed he is getting one for his home! (We do not miss the steam radiator we removed.)

Unbelieavably quiet, yet forceful

Just had this installed yesterday, unbelievably quiet. So much I didn't think it could work. My daughter showered and for the first time the mirror and walls weren't covered with moisture. I still can't believe how great this is. I replaced a Nu-Tone that I wasn't happy with and this unit is worth every penny. Buy it!! You will be thrilled you did!
