Panasonic Bathroom Fan FV-11VQ3 110 CFM; 30.7 Watts 3.6 CFM/Watts: 0.8 sones Duct Diameter (inches): 4" Mounting Opening (inches sq.): 10-1/4" Grille Size (inches sq.): 13" So Quiet You Might Not Know it's On This WhisperCeiling™ model features a totally enclosed condenser motor and a large, double suction blower wheel to quietly move air. A small wheel turning very fast will create more noise than a large wheel turning more slowly for a given airflow. Our fan uses a wide blower wheel that moves a large amount of air at reduced RPMs. The blower wheel is also designed to draw air in from both sides, which helps keep the noise down, as there is more area for the air to enter the wheel. In fact, it is quiet enough that you might not even know it's on. Continuous, Trouble-free Operation for Many Years This fan is designed to give you continuous, trouble-free operation for many years thanks in part to its high-quality components and permanently lubricated motors which wear at a slower pace. Also, since heat is always detrimental to motor life (the cooler the environment, the longer the motor will last), we designed the electrical configuration of this model's condenser motor to allow it to operate at lower temperatures, increasing the life of the motor and bearings. And, the fan housing is made of heavy-gauge zinc galvanized steel and painted to protect it from rust. User-Friendly Installation Detachable adaptors, firmly secured duct ends, adjustable mounting brackets (up to 26"), fan/motor units that detach easily from the housing and uncomplicated wiring all lend themselves to user-friendly installation. This model also features a double-hanger bar system for ideal positioning. Energy Star® Qualified for Energy Savings Energy Star qualified products feature super-quiet operation and high CFM-to-Watt efficiency. The Energy Star program was created to help consumers identify products that can save them money and protect the environment by saving energy. As an Energy Star partner, all our fans are Energy Star qualified and labeled accordingly. Tired of Cold Air Coming Through Your Ventilation Fan? This Panasonic fan has a built-in damper to prevent backdraft, which helps to prevent outside air from coming through the fan. Also, thanks to our efficient, cool running motors and fluorescent bulbs, it does not create excessive heat-a common problem with recessed lighting fixtures and some competitors' fan/light combinations. Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing to prevent heat from escaping.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic WhisperCeiling Bathroom Fan FV-11VQ3:

I had already installed the Panasonic fans at my own house, and I bought this latest one for my sister as a gift and installed it in her guest bathroom to replace the old noise-maker that didn't clear any steam! Install was straight forward to replace the old junker. The Panasonic is quiet and totally eliminated the steam. The pricing at bathroomfanexperts was better than any I've seen [...]

I have used and specified all of the major brand fans in the past and the Whisper Quiet series are, by far, the best available. All of the fans in this series are extremely quiet for the rated CFM.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic WhisperCeiling Bathroom Fan FV-11VQ3:

Easy install...well made unit...clears the bathroom fog easily. However, I was expecting a much quieter unit at .8 sones. It moves some serious air and that was the intent... but a little quieter would have made this a 5 star...

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic WhisperCeiling Bathroom Fan FV-11VQ3:

Installed one of these fans in each of two bathrooms to provide ventilation. Based on other reviews, I purposely bought a fan that moved considerably more cfp than rule of thumb would dictate. Really circulated the air well (not a lick of steam gets to the mirror) and they are about as quiet as you can expect from a fan. A contractor working on the house commented on their performance: "I've never seen an exhaust fan that caused the external vent to open fully."

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic WhisperCeiling Bathroom Fan FV-11VQ3:

The fan was installed by a contractor, who charged $100 or so to do it. He had to expand the ducting from the old fan, which was smaller. This fan is a huge improvement--much quieter and moves much more air. Highly recommended.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic WhisperCeiling Bathroom Fan FV-11VQ3:

This replaced an original 25 year-old bathroom noisemaker that moved very little air. It is quiet, efficient and relatively easy to install. For grins, I hooked up the old fan on the bench and measured the current-- about .81 Amps or almost 100 Watts. The Panasonic draws about .25 Amps (30 Watts). What a difference!
