I got this fan to replace an old one that stopped working.
It fit perfectly and was very easy to install.
The noise level is very low.
It also has a helpful light to show you whether it is currently on or off (since the fan will stay on for a while – depending on the timer – after you turn it off).
Fantastic buy. My old fan stopped working so I purchased this one. I wanted a quiet fan as the old one was quite load. I got what I wanted. It is so quite it is a good job it has a light to tell you when it’s one or you wouldn’t know.
The fan was easy to fit and was the same size as existing one which was a bonus as no decoration was needed. Looks nice and is quiet operatio
Very quiet fan never had one so quiet also you know the power is there whilst in the bathroom because of a led light which stays lite until you turn your bulb off,
Very impressed with the fan and nice low price.
he BEST upgraded for my 15 years plus bathroom extractor fan! folks even if your fan is not broken but it is older then 10 years – I recommend replacing it for many reasons – new technology, lowest noise, hygiene.
On the standard (non timer version) there’s no indication of which is live and which is neutral. The live is closest to the fan (see photo).
This was a replacement for an failed fan. Easy to fit and configure the timer. Very quiet.
A nice quiet fan with simple pull cord, easy to fit though the cable colours are a bit odd
So quiet I thought it was broke but it was
I replaced a very much more expensive extractor with this one. Unfortunately the original with timer and dehumidifier appears not to have required a switched live supply feed and worked with L, N and E. This extractor requires a switched live and I was not prepared to have this retro fitted which effectively means the timer will not work. A qualified sparks wired the extractor so it would display the light when the fan was on. The noise level was tiny until the cover was fitted, now it is more noticeable but not unreasonable when showering. If you were bathing that might be a different matter.
I bought this item to replace an older model and it was almost a like for like replacement. After installation the item is working fine.
This fan runs very quietly compared to others in the same price range.
Installation is easy although you may need to drill a hole through the plastic to get to the wires. One thing to keep in mind is that the cover is very hard to open when it has been attached to the wall or ceiling. Make sure you check everything before closing it after installation as you may not be able to open it again without damage.
Otherwise the extractor is working as supposed to and is very silent indeed.
Used in downstairs loo, so suction is adequate for the environment but uncertain as th whether it would provide adequate suction for a large bathroom, but impressed with how silent the fan is
I replaced a Manrose with this. The corner screws don’t line up so needed to make new holes. It looks nicer and makes a quiet sound – it’s not silent, quieter than Manrose Gold by a long way.
Wiring’s bottom left. You need to know your live, switched-live and neutral wires – if you get the wires wrong it won’t work properly so you’ll know…
When wired correctly: When switched on, the led lamp illuminates and fan spins. When powered off, led lamp goes out but fan continues for the timed setting.
Very nice fan, but you need to do a bit of work before installation to ensure it fits properly. I had to add/route additional wiring, held in place with a bit of sealant, as my electric cables were on the RHS, while the fan connection were on the LHS. As a result of reading the reviews I also added a small cable clamp held in place with a small screw to ensure the pulley did not come off (see other reviews). I also drilled a hole on the RHS for the electric cable to enter the enclosure. If you try to knock out the plastic, etc. the fan gets damaged. I also held the drought disk/plate in place with some duck tape. After a bit of work prior to installation the fan was very easy to fit. You need to take your time with the fitting same as any other fan. Unfortunately, instructions are very poor and both cables in the pully version are Black, again reviews helps you with the wiring, but some guidance from the manufacturer would have been helpful.
After installing and switching on you have to wonder if it is running! Compared to other extractor fans this is very quiet. No screws holding the cover in place and no instructions as to how to remove it! Slot at indicator light end is a clue, need to force casing away from front to release it. Usual fiddly procedure to insert wires but if replacing similar wiring the same. Not sure about suction power as nothing to measure it with! Have never had a extractor fan that prevents mirror steaming up after shower so this is no worse or better than previous ones. But better price than others!
Instructions are awful.
-Turn Timer dial all the way to left. (Anti clockwise)
-Turn Humidity dial all the way to the right. (Clockwise)
-Switch on power. (Fan should go off after around 2 minutes)
-Once it turns off by itself, turn the humidity anti clockwise until it switches on. Then turn the humidity a touch clockwise.
-Wait around 2 minutes, it should switch off by itself.
-Then adjust the timer to how you want it. All the way left = around 2 mins, all the way right is around 30 mins.
You’re welcome.
The back draft arrangement is quite novel. It is a simply a sheet of round, clear plastic light enough to allow the fan draft out but not the cold air back through. Clever idea!
Go for it Guys!
We noticed from the image attached the wiring sequence is Live Permanent, Live timer, and Neutral. The connector block shows a wire colour sequence of Black, Red and White from top to bottom. This was a little concerning as we would not have expected the live feed (from the connector block) to be black. However, it is fairly obvious the mains connection should be LIve (Red), Live switched (Yellow or grey) and Neutral (Black) from top to bottom. Not sure if there are regulations about wiring colours but as these are within the unit and an electrician is required, not a problem. Pleased with the build quality, quietness and price.
