Just looking at Panasonic vent fans for a bathroom remodel.
Found a interesting review over at Amazon...I'd figure I'd check in with ya'll
What vent fans have you guys worked with & or any experience with the Panasonic units..
Cut-N-Past Review Here
-------
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.
