So Quiet You Might Not Know it's On
This WhisperCeilingT model features a totally enclosed condenser motor and a large, double suction blower wheel to quietly move air. A small wheel turning very fast will create more noise than a large wheel turning more slowly for a given airflow. Our fan uses a wide blower wheel that moves a large amount of air at reduced RPMs. The blower wheel is also designed to draw air in from both sides, which helps keep the noise down, as there is more area for the air to enter the wheel. In fact, it is quiet enough that you might not even know it's on.
Continuous, Trouble-free Operation for Many Years
This fan is designed to give you continuous, trouble-free operation for many years thanks in part to its high-quality components and permanently lubricated motors which wear at a slower pace. Also, since heat is always detrimental to motor life (the cooler the environment, the longer the motor will last), we designed the electrical configuration of this model's condenser motor to allow it to operate at lower temperatures, increasing the life of the motor and bearings. And, the fan housing is made of heavy-gauge zinc galvanized steel and painted to protect it from rust.
User-Friendly Installation
Detachable adaptors, firmly secured duct ends, adjustable mounting brackets (up to 26"), fan/motor units that detach easily from the housing and uncomplicated wiring all lend themselves to user-friendly installation. This model also features a double-hanger bar system for ideal positioning.
Energy StarŽ Qualified for Energy Savings
Energy Star qualified products feature super-quiet operation and high CFM-to-Watt efficiency. The Energy Star program was created to help consumers identify products that can save them money and protect the environment by saving energy. As an Energy Star partner, all our fans are Energy Star qualified and labeled accordingly.
Tired of Cold Air Coming Through Your Ventilation Fan?
This Panasonic fan has a built-in damper to prevent backdraft, which helps to prevent outside air from coming through the fan. Also, thanks to our efficient, cool running motors and fluorescent bulbs, it does not create excessive heat-a common problem with recessed lighting fixtures and some competitors' fan/light combinations. Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing to prevent heat from escaping.

So glad I purchased this fan.I heard really good reviews about these Panasonic fans.I been to 2 certain large do it yourslef stores in this area, not even those stores top of the line fans could even comapre to a Panasonic.Not only was this fan easy to install, the fan is super quiet.
You can not beat the price.You are getting a real bang for your buck with this product.I went with the 6" Dia. duct, a larger throat will move more air.Boy does it move the air.
Once installed the first thing I did was take a nice long hot steamy shower.My mirror did not fog up at all.This fan really moved the mositure right out.
I highly recommend this product if you have a small to medium sized bathroom.

I had a contractor replace the three noisy and low-capacity, bathroom fans in my new home with Panasonic fans of different capacities. They are all extremely effective and quiet.

Research this product and found the best price @ bathroom fan experts. [...] the fan was installed by a handy-person in my master bathroom. It is a quiet and efficient fan that seems to be working by removing the excess moisture from my large bathroom.

This fan is so quiet, with all the activity of our home we had to listen carefully to see that it was on!
