Panasonic Bath Fan FV 08VQ3Strengths: Very quiet and strong. Versatile mounting options. Weakness: If a weakness, somewhat large (probably for quietness). The fan is quiet and exhausts well. It can be mounted between studs, not as other fans that need to be affixed to a stud. The box is larger than other fans of same capacity, but this is probably to keep air velocity low and keep the noise level low. Very satisfied with this fan so far. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

good fanStrengths: powerful, quiet Weakness: not necessarily straightforward to install as a retrofit — installation guide could be clearer A powerful, quiet exhaust fan. But not necessarily straightforward to install as a retrofit — installation guide could be clearer. I don't have anything else to add. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Panasonic bathroom fanStrengths: This is an exceptionally quiet bathroom fan, the best I ever had installed. Have added Panasonic fans to my other two bathrooms. Weakness: Need larger area than other fans above the ceiling. Great product. I read about this product from another source and also received a recommendation from a electrical supply representative. The fan is larger overall than most others, but is also much quieter than the rest. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

A pleasant surprise
Strengths: Very quiet, just as advertised. Low current draw. Looks to be well made and I expect it should hold up well.
Weakness: It is "taller" than most but I understand this is necessary to allow a bigger fan to move air without the noise. In my case it was not an issue but could be in a few installations I suppose.
I read about how quiet this fan was supposed to be and I must admit I had my doubts given my experiences with other bathroom ceiling fans. I was just hoping it was somewhat quieter. To my surprise it was, in fact, very quiet ... I was very pleased. It was promptly shipped, well packed and the entire transaction exceeded my expectations.
