Review of Hunter 82041 Energy Star Bathroom Fan with Light, White

the fan has very little noise, bright light, uses a special gu 24 base bulbs, i found a company on the web i bought four bulbs for 5 bucks each, hunter wanted 15 plus shipping, measure your bulbs, its around 2 1/2 inches i think, and look on the web for a gu 24 bulb thats around that size and order them cheaper from someone else, there was three companys that had the size bulb this hunter fan takes, it works great, sucks alot of air and its bright, cons is the special size bulb, but a search on the web will fix that problem, plus they are the long life bulbs, so 4 extra should last me a long time..be careful not to order a bulb longer then the size you get for there is little room between the bulb and the cover, very little.....

Review of Hunter Fan Saturn 90052 Bathroom Fan, Decorative Satin White Rings with Frosted Glass

I spent quite a bit of time pricing, comparing, and researching various models of light/fan assemblies to install in the small bathroom off my master bedroom. After visiting all the local home improvement stores, I expanded my search online. I slowly narrowed down my options and this Hunter fan bubbled to the surface.

A few things to keep in mind as you're doing your due diligence to locate the fan that works for you.

First, you should be aware that most ventilation fans are made of white plastic. If your bathroom has a window that doesn't block the sun's UV, over time this nice white plastic will yellow. I didn't want that, so this narrowed my options down to units that have no visible plastic. This GREATLY reduced my options.

Second, carefully consider whether you want a fan that is silent or near silent. I visited my local home stores and demoed these silent fans and decided I didn't want them. If they're totally silent, I can't tell if they're even on! I didn't like this. I wanted a little rushing sound just to let me know that it is, in fact, operating.

Ventilation fan noise is rated in "sones." Three or four sones is about as loud as a quiet conversation. Six sones is very loud. Any fan with a sone rating under 1 is almost totally silent. This Hunter fan is rated at 2.5 sones, which I found to be ideal. Since the fan is off the bedroom, it's loud enough to remind me it's operating, block out any quiet sounds I don't want anyone in the bedroom to hear, yet it is quiet enough not to bother whoever is trying to sleep in the bedroom.

The fan is rated at 80 CFM, which is just right for my bathroom (I calculated it needs a minimum 30 CFM fan). If you have a small bathroom, I'd suggest a fan two to three times the minimum CFM rating for your room. The higher the CFM, the greater the breeze you will feel through the room. When you're taking a shower, too much breeze can feel uncomfortable. It might be tempting to go overboard with the CFM rating, but if you're like me and enjoy a comfortable and relaxing shower, I'd suggest you get only what you need.

I found installation to be a breeze! Aside from the usual miserable attic installation issues, installing this fan was painless. The assembly is light and the fan housing compact (only 6-1/2" high). After the housing is installed in the attic, the wiring, fan, and light are installed below, in the bathroom.

The final installation is outstanding! No plastic visible anyplace. The marbled and frosted glass is very attractive and the hush of the fan is exactly what I was looking for.

I'd recommend this fan for those who, like me, are looking for an easy fan to install that is both attractive and functional. The Hunter series of ventilation units meets these expectations at a reasonable price.

Review of Hunter 83001 Riazzi Bathroom Fan with Light and Nightlight, Brushed Nickel

I was searching for an attractive replacement for my previous bathroom light/fan combo that had a decidedly utilitarian look.I found that Hunter makes the best selection of decorative light/fan units, and this one has the most powerful fan of all the ones they offer.I was concerned that the fan might be too loud, but I got this one anyway because I needed a fan that would really move air well since we were having trouble with condensation and mildew in the bathroom.I was pleased to find that noise is not a problem at all.The fan is actually quieter than my old fan, and it is much more powerful.When I am in the bathroom I can hear it running, but it is not loud enough to be bothersome.Outside in the hallway, I don't notice the sound.It does its job of drying out the bathroom after a shower very well.

I have two relatively minor points of criticism.(1) When the light is on, you can clearly see the shadows of brackets and other internal parts of the fan through the glass band that runs along the side of the unit.This is not aesthetically pleasing.Perhaps if the side glass was thicker, the shadows would have a fuzzier, more diffuse appearance and would be less noticeable.(2) We were not able to use the nightlight function because we only have two switches on the wall and we didn't want to run new wiring in the bathroom.Rarely do I see a bathroom with three wall switches, so I suspect others may find this to be a problem as well.We could have chosen to wire the nightlight so that it would come on with either the fan or the main light, but it was hard to see what the benefit of that would be.A nice addition would be an electronic eye that turns the nightlight on when the room is dark.

Review of Hunter 82032 Energy Star 110 CFM Bathroom Fan, White

We just bought a twenty year old house and its most pressing need was the master bath fan. All three bathrooms have the same old model in them, a very loud and the most basic (and cheap!) fan you could pick up at any home improvement store for twenty or so bucks. Well, the master bath one was on its last legs...and sounded like a jet engine when running, if it even ran when you flicked the switch. It would let the entire house know that the room was in use.
This fan by Hunter exceeded expectations. It is so quiet that I originally thought it wasn't even working after installing and turning it on. I had to get nearer to hear it, and then even tested it with some paper towels (held up to the grill). In fact, the fan is so quiet that it will not "hide unpleasant noises" from the bathroom anymore, so keep that in mind. Trying not to be redundant but this is the quietest bath fan I have ever heard, yet it is strong enough that we finally don't have a steamed window and mirror after using the shower.
Two other points to note are that the grill cover is almost 2 inches longer on all sides than the unit, so it will cover up any mistakes or possible issues nicely. Be aware though that this unit was about 4 inches "taller" (height above the ceiling) than the cheap-o model it replaced.
As one other reviewer mentioned, this model can be installed without access from above, although it may not be as secure.
I highly recommend this bath fan, even for the price.

Review of Hunter 82042 Energy Star Bathroom Fan with Light, White

This fan is very quiet, but the description is bad, design is fair, and looks are fair.

- There is no way to turn off the night light. I assumed it would turn off when it was light in the room, but it does not. You can get a $2 night light that turns on/off with a light sensor, so why can't they put such a sensor on a $150 fan? I replaced the 4w incandescent night light with an LED since you can't turn it off and I don't want to have to replace the thing every month.

- The housing is not designed for installation into an existing hole. The hole needs to be much bigger than the housing due to the duct attachment point and very deep housing. I had to remove the duct and re-install with much difficulty once the housing was in place in the ceiling. The housing is 8" deep, making it a tight or even impossible fit in any place except a top floor bath.

- The grille is approximately 12x13 at the largest point, and the grille is curved, so it is about 10x11 at the corners. The 14.75" x 14.75" shown in the manufacturer's description might be including the box it came in. I don't know where they got that measurement.

- The light bulbs are low energy CFL with a two-prong conductor that I have never seen before. I checked my local big box store and could not find a replacement bulb. I hope the bulbs last a long time. What's wrong with a normal light bulb fixture?

- The design is ugly, kind of like a bulging belly sticking to your ceiling.

I specifically selected this model based on the advertised grille dimensions, hoping to cover up the hole from the old fan. Had I been able to get my hands on the thing in a store, I would never have purchased it. There was no store within 100 miles that had this fan, so I purchased based on the description. Amazon/manufacturer need to accurately describe the items they sell.

This is a disappointing purchase, especially at this price, but I decided to go ahead with the install since I have to assume that the other descriptions will be just as inaccurate and our old fan was already pulled. 2 stars only because it is very quiet.

Review of Hunter 83003 Aventine Bathroom Fan with Light and Nightlight, Aged Bronze

I really do like this bathroom fan/light. It's pretty quiet compared to our old fan. We installed it where the fan comes on when the light is on. This way with existing wiring, we can use the night light, which I felt was too bright for a night light with a 25w bulb, so we added a dimmer for that, which works great. It was easy to install by dropping it through the ceiling, through the attic. It has brackets that can be extended to a further board. If we used this in a downstairs bathroom, a larger hole would have to be cut and blocks of wood put in to mount to, then a re-patch job. Though this uses two 60 watt bulbs, don't expect a super bright room, because the tinted glass dome reduces some of the light. This was ok for us, because we have additional lights in the bathroom. We do not have it directly over our shower, but I can visually see the steam going towards the fan, where I didn't with our older fan. Looking at the light/ fan at first, you wonder how it would suck it up, but it does have power, yet a quiet whisper sound. Sometimes though, it's nice to have other noise in the bathroom when you do not want to 'hear' stuff. Guess a stereo could be added lol.

Review of Factory-Reconditioned Panasonic EY6950GQKWR 18-Volt Hammer Drill & Driver Kit

I bought this reconditioned hammer drill/driver primarily for the two included batteries; when looking at the cost of buying two Panasonic NiMH batteries it seemed like if I bought this package the included drill/driver would come along basically for free.

I couldn't be more pleased with the hammer drill/driver.It performs beautifully and is up to the high standards and quality that I have come to expect from Panasonic tools.I also couldn't be more displeased with the batteries that come in this kit.They are also "factory reconditioned" but I found that they are worthless after less than 10 charge/discharge cycles.They run for perhaps 5 minutes of continuous use if no significant load is placed on the tool; if one is drilling or screwing heavy material or if the batteries are used in the reciprocating saw in heavy material they last less than a minute.These are definitely *not* "like new" batteries.

Conclusion: Under no circumstances should you buy this "factory reconditioned" package.

The directions are very clear and easy to follow, covering all the possible scenarios.When I finished installing this fan and a new switch, I turned it on and ... nothing.I thought I'd done something wrong with the wiring until I looked closely and saw the fan spinning.It is that quiet.When I put the flex duct on the output there is now the noise of the air in the duct, but it is still very quiet and can barely be heard outside the bathroom.I think if I used a rigid duct or a larger diameter duct, that noise could be minimized.

Review of Panasonic FV-20VQ3 WhisperCeiling Ceiling Mounted Ventilation Fan

The fan is indeed quiet. However whoever designed it clearly never tried to install it. You have to build a box frame for it, no support arms included. You can get it at most wholesale electrical suppliers for what Amazon is selling it for.

Review of Panasonic FV-08VQ3 WhisperCeiling 80 CFM Ceiling Mounted Fan

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.

Review of Panasonic FV-08VQL4 WhisperLite 80 CFM Ceiling Mounted Fan/Light Combination

I purchased this ventilation fan because it was rated very quiet and also because it boasts a damper that will keep cold air from coming in.

Claim #1 was true--fan is almost imperceptible when on.
Claim #2 not so much.The damper still allowed a great deal of cold air to billow in.

My main problem, however, with this is that Panasonic has a unique light bulb base which makes it impossible to replace their bulb with any other brand (the base has little notches that aren't in the center of the base, they're off center, not like any other 4-pin base, so nothing else fits).Not only that, but Panasonic only offers ONE type of bulb for this--an 18 W 3500K bulb--which is very bright and very blue/cool.So if you wanted softer, warmer light in your bathroom, you're basically screwed.And if you need to replace the bulb, yep, that's right--you've got to go to Panasonic.

It took me 6 phone calls, 4 disconnects, 3 stupid customer service people, and finally 1 phone call back from Panasonic to confirm that they indeed do not have any other bulbs but the 18W 3500K model.

If had known this, I certainly would have made a different choice and suffered through a little bit of a noisier fan.

Review of 10C Technology Universal Multi-Port Rapid Crew Charger

As advertised, this charger charges batteries quickly.It's too soon to tell if it makes the batteries last for more charging cycles compared to the OEM chargers.

It has one annoying feature though.When you remove a charged battery, it takes about 25 seconds for the charger to re-set and the port number light to change color indicating the charging port is ready to accept a battery for charging.Insert the dead battery before the light changes color and the charger will not charge it.25 seconds holding a charged battery in one hand and a dead battery in the other can seem like an eternity when you are in a hurry to get a job done

Review of 50 357 Alkaline Watch Batteries LR44 AG13 SR44W Battery

Need a battery for a watch? $5 who cares it lasts a few years. However, I have a small laser-sight for a handgun that uses four at a time. If it's a duty weapon,BUG or ones CCW (or a pointer for a normal person) it should be verified working each time it's taken out or put up, plus if one's cat likes to chase the dot and and no normal people can see you, one can use up batteries in a few months. (I did get a pointer, just for my cat) So when I bop by the store and they have 3 for $10 and I need four well I remember these things are often cheap on (Ebay) but this time I also check Amazon and at $7.99 for 50 with free shipping (no $25 minimum either) it's kind of a no brainer. Are they the BEST batteries in the world (?) who knows, they work fine and with 50 they should last for the rest of my life.

You can get them in warm yellow light or white light. What more could you want???? These kick ass! I use them everywhere in my house that has a light socket, even in the garage door opener. I have cut my electric bill in half!!!! Will buy more in the future, but not for 5-10 years cause these last forever!

Review of Panasonic EY3790BP 12-Volt Cordless Lantern W/O Battery

I bought my lantern in 1996 and use it often.It still has the original bulb (my mini-maglite bulbs sometimes only last a few weeks) so either the bulbs are really good quality or the electronic module (which reduces the voltage to around 7.2volts) gives a really steady voltage.The lamp in this and the 15.6v lantern is 7.2v, 0.75amp. The beam of light is very focused and shines for well over 100 metres (330ft).
However I find the handle is almost useless.When the lantern is carried by the handle it seldom points where required. If I try tilting it, the spring loaded handle snaps around to the next position (especially with the newer heavier batteries - and Panasonic withdrew the lighter C battery earlier this year).Fortunately I have long fingers and can grip the unit around the battery, which enables me to direct the beam where I want it (and is also steadier than using the handle), but I wouldn't recommend the lantern to anyone whose hands aren't big enough to grip it in this way - make sure you try it before you buy it!
I replaced the rubber switch cap with a new one late last year (2001) after the original perished.

Review of Panasonic EY6932GQKW 15.6 Volt Hammer Drill & Driver

I have used Makita, Dewalt and Bosch cordless drills before I purchased my panasonic. And nothing! can beat this drill for performance.

PROS:
1. With a decent drill bit, will drill through anything except cast concrete.
2. Small and compact, very usefull if working up step ladders. I find bigger drills more clumsy and akward since using my panasonic.
3.Excellent battery life and excellent chargers. If battery is too hot it will wait untill the battery has cooled down before charging, If too cold it will give the battery a slow charge to prevent damage.
4.Lockable chuck is a work of genuis, bits will never slip out ever!.
5.Plenty of torque to shame most drill drivers.

CONS:
1.Cheap plasticy case.
2.No slip ring on the chuck.
3.Thats it!

This drill is a masonary drill first and a screwdriver second,hence the pistol grip shape and only five torque settings. It's durable too as it is has has a lot of abuse since I've had mine and it performs as good as the day I bought it. Buy one and you will not be dissapointed!.

Review of Panasonic EFT20E28 Capsule Collection 20W Compact Fluorescent Lamp (T Shape)

If you are looking for a flouerescent light bulb to replace traditional light bulbs around your house, this is the best choice I've found so far.
The bulb is about the same width as a standard bulb, but it is a bit longer, so it may not fit in every device that takes standard bulbs.It does, however, fit in my lamp, which makes me happy.
The best part about this bulb is the light it produces.It is very bright for a compact fluorescent, but it doesn't have the super-white color that is typical of fluorescent lights.The key to selecting a CF light bulb that produces good light is to look for a 2800K bulb.This one is.Most of the other bulbs on amazon are 5000K bulbs, which produce a very bright white light that looks too fluorescent.
In Panasonic bulbs, you can tell if the bulb is 2800K or 5000K by looking at the second number in the model name.If the second number is 28, its a 2800K bulb.If the second number is 50, its a 5000K bulb.The first number indicates the wattage.
Thus, this bulb is a 28 watt, 2800K bulb.
Panasonic has a number of other 2800K bulbs, but it doesn't look like Amazon sells them.Check out www.panasonic.com, select consumer products, then building products, and then lighting for a complete list of all the Panasonic CF bulbs.

Review of Panasonic FV-NLF04G WhisperLine Installation Kit - 4" Single Inlet (Duct Inlet Grille)

I purchased this installation kit to go with a Panasonic inline fan.This listing title is "Installation Kit" and it shows the backdraft damper and cable-ties as well as the 4" grille.However, the kit **DOES NOT INCLUDE THE BACKDRAFT DAMPER**, although it is shown in the photo and implied in the title.This is **NOT** really the true installation kit, it is only the 4" inlet grille.

Researching after receiving this incomplete kit, it seems Panasonic does sell a full installation kit, but that is the PC-NLF04S.The photo and title these guys are showing in this misleading listing really goes with that other product.

To be fair, I am still giving the seller 2 stars, because it is the proper 4" grille for the fan.

But, be warned, this is NOT really the installation kit as title and picture indicate, it is ONLY for the grille.You will need to buy the backdraft damper (and cable ties) separately from a different source.

Review of Panasonic FV-11VFL2 110 CFM Low Profile Ceiling Mounted Fan with Light

I purchased 2 of these fans to retrofit 2 bathrooms on the 2nd floor of my house - from a different vendor.

One went into a regular size master bath and the other into your standard guest bathroom (both with 8 foot ceilngs).I was trying to go for maximum CFM for these 2 baths, but in hindsight, I probably didn't need so high of a CFM and could have done with the FV-08VFL2 model instead.And both baths would have been much quieter - even though these are still not very loud (everything is relative).These fans are so effective, I haven't seen ANY steam accumulate on the mirrors NO MATTER HOW HOT A SHOWER I TAKE.

These are HUGE improvements over what was originally installed - cheapy contractor specials that weren't even as nice as Home Depot Nutones.I wound up not having had to climb into the attic at all.If you're experienced and know what you're doing, you'll have an easy time installing these because EVERYTHING is modular and makes for easy installation.

The side manifold with ducting and electrical connections can be connected and screwed into the joist sepearately.I wound up using the included 4" to 3" adapter.If you used the provided template to cut the hole to necessary size (used blue tape to mark the ceiling), then you can just easily slide the fan housing into place and screw it in into the ceiling against the housing's flange/lip.Install the light module and bulbs, then the shroud, and you're good to go!Each job took no more than 2 hours (with breaks).

I wound up buying these fans from AUH Electric (SoCal).The price was about $[...] cheaper and shipping was quick/cheap.I normally buy everything from Amazon vendors (even my last 6 Panasonic fans), but this time, I found a better source.Price was $[...].[...]

[...]

You won't get any order acknowledgement and their customer service is friendly, if just a little slow/lacking.I will be buying 5 more fans from them in the next month.

Hope this helps you.

Review of Panasonic EY3551GQ 18-Volt NiMH 6-1/2-Inch Cordless Circular Saw

I've owned just about every cordless tool made through the years and Panasonic makes great drills.They have great ergonomics and battery life (after 5 years, I have yet to replace a battery and I use the drill hard).I decided to purchase the saw and was somewhat disappointed.It seemed cheaply made and the adjustments are flimsy.The thing that irks me the most is the blade.They must be special ordered because of the arbor size.You won't find them in a box store and they cost $45-$50!Each!That is unacceptable.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Panasonic EY3551GQ 18-Volt NiMH 6-1/2-Inch Cordless Circular Saw

Product Description:
The Panasonic EY3551GQ Cordless Circular Saw features a 6-1/2-inch, 48-tooth, carbide-tipped blade for smooth cutting through wood. To meet the needs of professional tradesmen, this cordless tool is carefully constructed on four primary principles: cordless capability, power, lightweight, and ergonomic design. The cordless design means that the EY3551GQ can be used almost anywhere. Designed with inverter charger technology, the Ni-MH battery charging system allows for long battery pack life -- this saw can plow through 280 cuts of 2x4 pine on a single charge -- and quick re-charging time. Plus, there's no compromise in power -- this tool provides more than enough punch using a motor with high-power magnets, heat-resistant brushes, and a built-in cooling fan. For your comfort, the saw's advanced ergonomic design means it's compact, well-balanced and easy to operate for extended periods of time without fatigue. The successful combination of technology with Panasonic durability delivers a circular saw that is loaded with helpful features and provides a reliable solution that tradesmen can use for all their construction needs.
The EY3551GQ is an 18-volt cordless wood saw that provides plenty of power for high-speed and fine cutting. With a depth-of-cut adjustment from 1/8 to 2-7/32 inches, a slotted upper blade guard for easy blade visibility, an electric brake, and a spindle lock button for easy blade replacement, this saw is a breeze to use almost anywhere. And if you're looking for a saw that delivers angled cuts, then look no further. This saw has a 0- to 50-degree bevel adjustment, and the in-line ergonomic design gives you comfortable cutting and helps to make clean, accurate cuts.
The EY3551GQ's high-capacity, 3.5AH Ni-MH battery can be fully charged in about 65 minutes, which means less time spent waiting and more time spent working.

Review of Panasonic EY9136B 15.6-Volt 2.0 Amp Hour NiCad Pod Style Battery

I am sure that the product is great, if I would have gotten what I ordered. They sent me the up grade because they were out of the one that I ordered. Now I can not charge it, in my existing charger. I must either send it back or buy a new charger. Not good.
Thank you

Review of Panasonic EY6220B 2.4-Volt Ni-Cad 1/4-Inch Hex Cordless Drill/Driver Kit

I've owned mine since 1994, and I've used it hard many times, and also I've left it in storage for long periods. Both extreme use and non-use can be challenging for any product, but this driver keeps working, widthstanding abuse even.Over the years, I've had to replace the batteries 4 times and the charger unit once.

Combined with high capacity batteries this driver kicks but. Of all features I love the small size vs the great torque the best.

Review of Panasonic EFG15E28 Capsule Collection 15W Compact Fluorescent Lamp (Globe Shape)

The light from the bulb is excellent, the warm light feels like day light, while the Verilux daylight really feels too strong on the blue spectrum to me, at least I don't see the same color under the sun light.
The Panasonic bulb is great except it takes a while to reach full brightness(like 20 sec. or so). and it starts very dim. The 15w looks like a 20w. incandlescent for the first 5 sec. if you have not turned on the light for a while(10 minutes). which might annoy some people. Yet I don't have problem with other bulb flourscent light with such a long delay such as Verilux.

Review of Panasonic EY3544GQK 18-Volt NiMH Cordless Reciprocating Saw

This item needs two batteries, although it may cut clean wood on a test bench forever it certainly dies fast in true demo conditions , it charges fast enough but a second battery would make it functional

Product Description:
Tear down the house in a hurry. The EY3544GQK 18V reciprocating saw kit has improved motor/gear technology for long lasting performance and powerful cutting. With 0-2,700 spm and a 7/8 stroke length you get fast, accurate cutting. The convenient keyless blade clamping system allows you to install a blade by just pushing the blade into the tool. A quarter twist of the collar releases the blade without having to touch it --- a nice feature when that blade heats up from heavy use. The blade system allows for blade reversal too so you can achieve upside down cutting when space is tight. The adjustable pivoting shoe provides visibility and stability for all your cutting needs. The electric brake and two- finger trigger switch deliver control and safety during use. This saw is powered by Panasonic's 3.5Ah Ni-MH battery pack, which is the highest capacity battery pack available in the market today. The high capacity battery delivers long run time and will allow you to cut 35 pcs of 2 x 10 pine on just one charge. Great demolition tool built tough to last even in severe working conditions. The 18V high capacity battery pack can interchange with other tools in the 18V system. The kit includes recip saw, one 3.5Ah Ni-MH battery pack, universal battery charger, one 6 bi-metal saw blade and a high impact molded plastic case.

Review of Panasonic FV-20NLF1 WhisperLine In-Line Ventilation Fan for Single or Multiple Inlets

We have renovated several houses and have always installed Panasonic vent fans. They are among the quietest and most durable available (Fantech is also good). This is the first inline fan we have installed. We put it in the kitchen-- we don't need a fancy hood with fan over the stove, just a good exhaust fan to clear the occasional smoke or to cool the room.This fan moves lots of air (240 cfm), especially with the 6" duct we installed, but it is quieter than the 70 cfm ceiling fans we have put in previously.

Product Description:
Panasonic FV-20NLF1 WhisperLine In-Line Ventilation Fan for Single or Multiple InletsPanasonic WhisperLine; 240 CFM In-Line FanPanasonic WhisperLine; fans are designed for multiple-task ventilation. This means that you can ventilate multiple areas or multiple rooms with just one fan. For example, you can place inlets over the shower, tub, toilet and/or vanity in a single bathroom and still use just one fan. In recent years, homes have become more airtight and energy efficient. While this lowers the cost to heat and air-condition a home, it also retains pollutants that can be hazardous to its occupants. One way to improve the air quality of the home is through whole-house ventilation with a Panasonic WhisperLine; fan, which removes "stale" air and provides fresh air on a slow, continuous basis.Panasonic FV-20NLF1 WhisperLine In-Line Ventilation Fan for Single or Multiple Inlets Features:; Ventilate Multiple Areas with Just One Fan; So Quiet You Might Not Know it's On; Adjustable Airflow for Multi-Inlet Balance; Easy Installation; Continuous, Trouble-free Operation for Many Years; Energy Star; Qualified for Energy SavingsPanasonic FV-20NLF1 WhisperLine In-Line Ventilation Fan for Single or Multiple Inlets Specifications:; Air Volume (CFM) - 258 at 0.0" static pressure, 240 at 0.2" static pressure, and 200 at 0.4" static pressure; Noise (sones) - 1.4; Power Consumption (Watts) - 57; Energy Efficiency (CFM's/Watt) - 4.2; Speed (RPM) - 1260; Current (Amps) - 0.46; Thermal Fuse Protection - Yes; Duct Diameter (inches) - 6"; Super Quiet Operation - Yes; Totally Enclosed Condenser Motor - Yes, for long life - Rated for continuous run; Insulated Housing - Yes, to prevent condensation and noise; Tapered Duct Adaptor for easy connection - Yes; 5 Positions for Installation - Yes; Joint or Truss Attachment Brackets Included - Yes; Suspension Brackets Included - Yes; Grille - Low profile family design; Adjustable Airflow for Multi-Inlet Balance - Yes; Galvanized Steel f

Review of Panasonic FV-08VKS1 WhisperGreen Ceiling Ventilation Fan

this is supposed to be a green fan, but the sensor doesn't work no matter what settings I put it on , so in the end I am using way more electricity that I would have with a regular exhaust fan.customer service was not helpful at all!

Product Description:
Panasonic FV-08VKS1 WhisperGreen Ceiling Ventilation FanPanasonic WhisperGreen; 80 CFM Premium Ceiling Mounted Continuous and Spot Ventilation FanThis WhisperGreen; model features built-in intelligence called SmartFlow; Optimum CFM Technology. This unique "electronic-brain" lets the fan do what was once thought to be impossible, perform at a constant CFM regardless of elbows and other factors that might hinder performance. Basically, when a WhisperGreen; fan faces static pressure, its speed is automatically increased to ensure that the desired CFM is actually achieved. This allows the fan to perform as rated and makes for easier installation because the installer no longer has to worry as much about compromising the fan's performance.Panasonic FV-08VKM1 WhisperGreen Ceiling Ventilation Fan Features:; Constant CFM Performance; Variable Speed Control; So Quiet You Might Not Know it's On; Continuous, Trouble-free Operation for Many Years; User-Friendly Installation; Energy Star; Qualified for Energy Savings; Built-in damper to prevent backdraftPanasonic FV-08VKM1 WhisperGreen Ceiling Ventilation Fan Specifications:; Air Volume (CFM) - 80, at any static pressure; CustomVent; Variable Speed Control - Yes, with delayed off timer; SmartFlow; Optimum CFM Technology - Allows the fan to run at a constant CFM; SmartAction; Motion Sensor - No; Noise (sones) - 0.3 @ 80 CFM; Power Consumption (Watts) - 11.3 @ 80 CFM; Energy Efficiency (CFM's/Watt) - 7.1 @ 80 CFM; Speed (RPM) - 723 @ 80 CFM; Current (Amps) - 0.08 @ 80 CFM; Power Rating (V/Hz) - 120/60; Motor Type - DC; Type of Motor Bearing - Ball; Electronic Safety Control - Yes; Blower Wheel Type - Sirocco; Duct Diameter (inches) - 4"; Mounting Opening (inches sq.) - 10-7/8" ; Grille Size (inches sq.) - 13"; Light - No; UL Listed for Tub/ Shower Enclosure - Yes, when used with a GFCI branch circuit wire; Washington State VIAQ Code - Yes; Mfg in ISO 9001 Certified Facility - Yes; Super Quiet Operation - Yes; Energy Star Qualified
