Ventilate Multiple Areas with Just One Fan Panasonic WhisperLineT 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 WhisperLineT fan, which removes "stale" air and provides fresh air on a slow, continuous basis.
So Quiet You Might Not Know it's On WhisperWarmT fans feature 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.
Easy Installation This in-line fan can be installed in five different positions and joist, truss and suspension brackets are included to help make your installation as easy as possible.
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.

The Energy Star program was created to help consumers identify products that can save them money and protect the environment by saving energy.

Plan to use this fan for whole-house exhaust ventilation during the winter months to vent indoor moisture and improve IAQ in a tight house. Very quiet, as advertised. Hope it lasts for many years.

Comments about Panasonic WhisperLine Inline Ventilation Fan FV-10NLF1:
This is a great way to exhaust the bathroom moisture in a completely inaudible way. The fan is in the attic, and you completely can't hear anything from the bathroom unless you put your ear up to the grate.

Comments about Panasonic WhisperLine Inline Ventilation Fan FV-10NLF1:
This fan is so quiet you need to install a timer because (depending on your installation) you literally can't tell if it's on. Just put in a high end, high tech bathroom and couldn't be happier with it. It out classes any vent fan I've used in every way.

Ventilation of master bath is much improved over standard ceiling mounted unit. Quiet and efficient, it actually moves the air, clearing moisture and odor. (We left a noisy fan in the powder room so that guests would not be embarassed by their "bathroom" noises.)

I already have a heat lamp ventilator, but it is too noisy, so I added this inline one and disable the old one, now it is much quieter.

Comments about Panasonic WhisperLine Inline Ventilation Fan FV-10NLF1:
I bought two of these. One is used to vent two bathrooms and the other one is used for a single bathroom. In both cases, I can feel the air actually moving ... something that I did not exist with the previous builder grade fans. The fan is very quite. The only thing you can hear is remote hmmm .. if you listen very carefully. Excellent product!

We have used this fan in a few bathrooms with separate toilet rooms. It allows ducting to both shower and toilet sections of the bath and it is very quiet.
