So Quiet You Might Not Know it's On
This WhisperCeiling™ 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 Star® 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.

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!
from Fort Collins, CO on 6/17/2009Comments about Panasonic WhisperCeiling Bathroom Fan FV-15VQ4:
Quiet with 140CFM You can carry on a conversation underneath it
from Fayetteville, AR on 5/1/2009Comments about Panasonic WhisperCeiling Bathroom Fan FV-15VQ4:
This seems like it'll work fine in our new bath, which is half built. You can definitely hear it, but it's not annoying. I ordered the size for 140 square feet, altho the room is only 103, because I want it to take out all the moisture. Smaller ones are .3 sones and presumably quieter.
from Concord, NH on 4/5/2009Comments about Panasonic WhisperCeiling Bathroom Fan FV-15VQ4:
I recently purchased two of these fans for the bathrooms in our new home. They are very quite and we have never had a bit of moisture on our windows. When one developed a noise after 2-years the company exchanged it with no questions asked.

from Oregon on 10/17/2008Comments about Panasonic WhisperCeiling Bathroom Fan FV-15VQ4:
I believe bigger is better. This fan is twice the size I needed, but we have a busy main bathroom and I wanted the moist air gone. It was very effective and very quiet as well. After shopping the big box stores and not finding what I wanted I roamed the net. This website had plenty of options and all the technical info about the product for me to make my decision. *Something to remember about exaust fans, they need to get air to move it. If your door is sealed off when closed you should trim the bottom so the fan can move air. No air in, no air out!
