Review: Perfect for a small bathroom, not loud but very efficient - I did a lot of research before purchasing a fan for our small bathroom. The one we had didn't work very well, was loud as a jet turbine, and took forever to dissipate steam. I looked at all sizes, price ranges, sone levels but decided on this one based on reviews. It was relatively inexpensive and simple--the fan, a flexible round metal duct, and the outside flap/grill. At first my father (who was helping with the install) thought it wouldn't fit the stud wall space, but after cutting the metal duct considerably and taking into account the thickness of the siding, it fit just fine. All we have to do is caulk around the flap/grill outside. For us, installation was easy since we are ripping our bathroom down to the studs, so cutting the opening to be a little larger (as our old fan ducting was smaller) was really not a problem. However if we had tile on the wall already and we wanted the fan to vent the same way through the wall, it would've been a nightmare....if that were the case we may have decided to vent through the ceiling. But since the slope of our roof is so severe, we would've needed a different kind of flap for the outside. See the pics for reference (disregard the brown streak on the flaps outside-- we had a torrential downpour and our gutters overflowed.. that will wipe right off). All in all, this was a great buy. We have used it many times now and NO steam stays in the bathroom during a shower at all! Very happy!! We paid full price for this item and would highly recommend to others.
Review: High powered! - Kinda loud but we also didn't have any type of exhaust fan in our bathroom before...we were just using a dehumidifier. This fan works so well though! It has reduced the humidity so much that I've noticed my sinuses getting dried out. lol it will clear out steam from the bathroom in just seconds. Took my husband maybe 30 minutes to install, but we also had to run electrical to the spot on the wall.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the 10" thickness the minimum, or can it be trimmed down?**
A: When installed as directed--with all components unaltered--the minimum thickness is 9 inches. However, as other have indicated, you can reduce this further by trimming the metal components of the duct. In fact, if you managed to glue/seal the fan housing directly to the plastic vent cap, the whole assembly requires only 5 inches. So there are a lot of options to put this unit in a thinner wall.  If you trim the duct work, just be sure you have means to tape/seal everything once it is in the wall. On the final step, the length of the flexible duct is what enables you to tape/seal all the connections on the exterior side before compressing everything back into the wall.

**Q: Can this be left on 24 hours/day in a utility closet?**
A: Indefinitely, I am not sure, but it does run here in 100 degree+ temps for most of the 24 hour day and has done so for about 4 years. If the temps are not too high it might be like one of those machines that if it runs all the time it will go until the bearings go out after a bunch of years.

**Q: Is it loud?  Can you have a conversation In front of it?**
A: It's not very loud, yes you could have a conversation near it. Had to do a small adjustment to free the fan, due to repacking from a previous customer.

**Q: Can i buy the outside 8x8 louvered cover separately? the one i have failed after 3 years. the fan still works fine.**
A: Yes you can, Lowe's and Home Depot carry them, you might have to modify the mounting holes but yes that should work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent Wall Fan
*by V***H on November 19, 2024*

Sure this fan is a little loud, but it's not much louder than the cheap fans from Home Depot. It was an easy install and fits into a 2x4 exterior wall. Like some said, the damper is cheap but they sell metal hooded ones that will fit on the exterior. Definitely easier to install in a wall than a ceiling fan with a 90.
