Review of Panasonic FV-11VFL2 WhisperFit-Lite Low Profile Ceiling Mounted Ventilation Fan - Fan/Light/Night-Li

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).

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.
