3.0 out of 5 stars 5.7" Outlet Duct - Caution, March 12, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Panasonic FV-20VQ3 WhisperCeiling 190 CFM Ceiling Mounted Fan (Tools & Home Improvement)
Be careful here!

This unit has an outlet duct of 5 19/32" which DOES NOT match any standard ductwork.

I ended up using 6" flex duct that was crimped down to the outlet duct via a 6" clamp but that's hardly professional.

I suppose this unit is designed for a market other than the USA.

The electrical outlet box is mounted (tack welded) directly on top of the housing flange which means you must cut a sheetrock opening

that will compensate for this outlet box dimension. (otherwise the outlet box would come in direct contact with the ceiling sheetrock).

You will then have to purchase a 6" to 4" duct adapter if using as a replacement and exhausting via the roof or soffit. Again not ideal for air flow.

The unit is very quiet but look for a unit with a more standardised dimension otherwise, you will vastly complicate your install.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quiet, lowest energy draw for half baths, September 26, 2009
By 
These are quiet and easy to install. Panasonic offers a bath fan sizing calculator at their website-- this is their smallest, and it's suitable only for a small bathroom that has no tub or shower. Very low electricity draw; durable, long-lasting fan. These are the only fans to buy, unless you can install in-line fans where the motor is remotely located in an attic, even quieter. Panasonic offers in-line fans also.

2.0 out of 5 stars Review for Panasonic FV-20VQ3 - works great, March 1, 2012

This review is from: Panasonic FV-20VQ3 WhisperCeiling 190 CFM Ceiling Mounted Fan (Tools & Home Improvement)
This is a review for the Panasonic FV-20VQ3 (190 cfm). It is quiet - not so quiet that you don't know it is on when you are in the bathroom, but quiet enough that you can't hear it outside the bathroom when the door is closed.

It absolutely removes all the moisture we have. We no longer have moisture on our mirrors or walls. On a recent stay my in-laws were so impressed with the results, they remember the "before", that they had one installed in their bathroom.

I am giving it a bad review for deceptive marketing. Their online documentation says it comes with hangers - it does not have hangers. You have to frame it out yourself. Also, the electrical box is not made for existing construction. After cutting the hole, I had to wire the fan from below, then slide the fan into position, then secure it. Let's hope one of the wires never gets loose.

Also, this is minor, but the inside of the fan is black, but for some reason they have a gray wire... Read more
