5.0 out of 5 stars Back for another one..., May 22, 2009

During our first bathroom renovation I purchased what I thought was a good fan and it was way too loud. Pulled it out and purchased this one. Has turned out to be just perfect. Extremely quiet but it's 'just' loud enough to know it's on and I like that.

We're now redoing our second bathroom and will get another one of these. Don't forget to calculate your bathroom CFM (LxWxH ÷ 7.5) so you know what size to purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, Quiet Fan - No More Fog on the Mirror, July 9, 2008

Beatrix Grundy "PR Gal" (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews

My husband and I did a lot of research on "crapper fans" as my hubbie calls them. Most of the reviews pointed to this fan as the best, most effective, and most quiet of them. Despite the price - I admit I got the "oh geez" face when I understood we were paying more than $100 for a bathroom fan - we got one for each of our full baths. I can't say enough that they are great!!! Whisper quiet is an understatement; really, you can't tell that they are on. But most importantly, my husband can take his devilishly hot showers without fogging up the mirrors and causing any more steam damage to the paint. This is an excellent product. It's completely worth the few extra dollars.

This exhaust fan is very quiet and moves a lot of air, my bath mirror barely steams up any more. My problem is now I forget to turn it off because I barely can hear it.
