100MM Inline Bathroom Extractor Fan with Timer

Excellent "budget" extractor fan

Excellent piece of kit, brought to replace a vent axia VASF100T ceiling extractor fan that i had fit a few months prior... lasted five minutes, didnt clear steam very well at all and eventually went pop.. so comparing the specs on this one to the old one was a no brainer... easily wired up as long as your compentant need to have a 3 pole isolation switch connected to the bathroom lighting circuit to give you the neutral, live and switched live, no earthing required as class 2 product. I chose to use aluminium ducting, i was planning to use plastic piping but due to the layout of the setup this

Good airflow, eliminates misting up and condensation, well made, powerful. A bit fiddly to install.

As all the ducting was already in place I swapped this out in about 15 minutes. The only fiddly bits was the wiring in a cramped attic space and the setting for the timeout. I set it to about half way but the fan kept going and going... So I had to remove all four screws from the cover (and not lose them), set the timeout control to something less (there's no indication of what it might be) and try again. By trial and error I got it close to the 15 minute target, but it loses a star because if the time-out control had been external to the electrical connections box it would have taken far less

Nice and quiet

The instructions don't actually point it out but if you're using flexible plastic ducting - the kind with a spiral of metal - it's possible to put the last coil of the metal in the plastic arm that locks the cone in. You don't then need any duct tape or retaining clips. It's kind of fiddly to do but does work quite nicely once you've sworn at it enough to get it in place. The shape of the input and output cones aren't really all that suitable for jubilee clips or the like otherwise.

Very highly recommended!

Issues - it's quite loud in use. We have it right above our bathroom in the roof space and the actual noise of the air being extracted is also quite loud, as is the fan itself - not overly loud, but you can hear it doing its thing. Hubby cured this by mounting the fan onto rubber washers to cut down the noise substantially, but make no mistake, it's a highly efficient fan and you can hear it working. Issues - timer - it comes preset to run on in timer mode and high speed fan mode (simply changed to low speed mode by swopping a wire onto another terminal - simple) so we adjusted the timer round

Best fan on the market

There are more expensive options on the market, notably the vent axia, it offers 255m3 of air, but it is nearly 3 times the price!! I have fitted one and the terminals are a pain to work with, the cable has to come and twist back on itself to terminate it, needlessly complicated.

An Absolute Game-Changer for Bathroom Damp and Steam!

It was easy to install, surprisingly quiet in operation and has made a huge difference to the amount of steam and moisture left behind after a shower. If you’re looking for a very cost-effective way to tackle bathroom steam and damp, I honestly can’t recommend this highly enough. An absolute winner!

No wet bathroom!

This is powerful. If the bathroom door is not latched, the vacuum will open it a bit! It is more noisy than last one, mostly air movement, but not an issue. BUT the bathroom is not left wet! Just a light mist on our mirror and window. Impressed!
