Panasonic FV-0511VQC1 WhisperSense DC Ventilation Fan, 50-80-110 CFM , White

This is an easy set up, and since I was replacing a 10yr old Panasonic is was unbelievably easy.My installation required just installing it in the old box and connecting it. So a bit easier than most, but if you are replacing a Panasonic this is the way to go. My old will be installed in another bathroom as it still works great but lack automatic humidity.It is also quiet. Like the lowest or second lowest fan setting on your car quiet. The "Oh, I do here it," quiet.Build quality it there. It is good and has no rattles.The fan has a some settings to dial in or leave alone. Factory settings are fine. I see some confusion on how to activate auto moisture. If you turn the fan on it is on, turning it off turns it off, but quickly turning it back on will engage auto mode. That's it. It is the same with most manufacturers.Should you upgrade? YES! In the summer it helps cool the house, moisture is a major issue as it is, and if you are one to forget or with others who for get the fan is useless. I had another automatic in my old house and once you use it it is all you want. Think of automatic headlights, do you really want to think about turning them on and off? It is truly worth the extra money.

The fan works very quietly and is very functional. Very easy to install, good price .successful purchase, quick and trouble-free transaction, I recommend this product.

I ordered this fan because I needed a bathroom fan that moved a lot of air. We installed it in a hall bathroom that is 5' x 8'. This is the bathroom that guests use when they come over. It is near the living room so we wanted it to NOT be too quiet and also clear out any bad air quickly. I like the motion sensor feature because for some reason, guests don't always turn the fan on themselves, and when they do they feel they have to turn it off when they leave the bathroom.With the motion sensor the fan always turns on and I have it set to run for 10 minutes after it stops sensing movement. This way it is always on when needed and clears the bathroom out quickly! This fan has three speed settings. We have it on the highest speed (110 cfm) and it is just loud enough to provide some cover noise without being obnoxiously loud. The lower speed settings are pretty quiet. This fan replaced another Panasonic fan that was the same size so it was easy for us to install. When we first installed it it kept coming on when people walked past the bathroom door. I put a piece of tape over part of the motion sensor on the door side and now it works perfectly. It only comes on when someone walks into the bathroom. No one has taken a shower in the bathroom yet so we haven't been able to test the humidity sensor yet, but I'm not sure if it is really needed since the motion sensor turns it on anyways.

This is, without a doubt, the most quiet bathroom fan I've ever used. So quiet in fact, that at the lowest setting I couldn't tell if it was actually working or not. After using it for a few months, I actually prefer nearly the highest setting, because I end up with at least a bit of background noise so I can know the fan is running.Installation was about what I'd expect: a pain in the butt, but these are always a pain to get right. I did opt to get some foam sealant to make sure I had no air leakage in the attic after doing the install, and that helped hugely. Also, obviously don't vent this into the attic like the previous owners had done with the last unit. Vent it through the roof with a proper duct like an adult does.The motion/humidity detection stuff seems just fine, but I still prefer to put the fan on a timer switch. It works well enough though.

The media could not be loaded. Not only does it have a sensor for humidity and occupancy, but it’s also super quiet and amazing! It’s very pretty and doesn’t include a junkie light like the old ones did. I really really love it and it works great in our kids room who always forget to turn on the fan! It’s whisper quiet and clears a whole room in under five minutes!

The media could not be loaded. Expensive, but great, strong bathroom fan. Worth every penny. High quality. You get what you pay for. I love it so much I'm going to order 4 more! Motion and Humidity-level sensitive and controlled (auto on/off, or controlled by wall switch). No more stinky bathrooms or fogged-up mirrors.Bad: Instructions for motion sensor placement are not good. The motion sensor has to be placed in the little white frosted square in the middle of the fixture facing the ground just so you know. Works perfectly when you get that right, but needlessly and frustratingly unclear in the installation instructions. I had to have my very-competent electrician over a second time to get it right.Panasonic - Please make instructions clearer for installer and laymen.

The installation was straight forward and the fan is quiet and moves a lot of air however, it doesn't shut off. I'm working my way through on line forums to try and fix the issue which has something to do with the motion sensor, I think, but none if this is covered in the installation/setup instructions.UPDATE:the motion sensor is extremely sensitive and was activating the fan when anyone walked by the door in an adjacent room. I angled the motion sensor away from the door slightly and the problem went away.the fan has operated flawlessly for some time now and has reduced the humidity in the master bath drastically.the installation instructions should address this issue and the simple fix.

Fan stopped shutting off and Panasonic customer was service said humidity sensor failed and for almost the price of a new unit I replaced the sensors and PCB which come as a single unit. New one doesn't work!
