We were renovating our ensuite and didn’t want to add a heated floor. We wanted the warmth of a a fan heater and proper fan ventilation.
This unit is powerful and very quiet.

I bought this exhaust vent for a rental unit. I have used Panasonic vents m my home and other rental units and they all work great. I tested this one and there is a short delay before the vent or heater starts working which is not a problem. Once it starts working, it does a good job removing the steam/vapor from the bathroom and the heater worked well. So far, I trust Panasonic.

great fan… took1star off only because the fan has a delayed reaction when the wall switch is turn on. Takes literally 4 seconds to start – guessing a computer chip delays the start. If you have guests, they may think it doesn’t work. I would definitely buy again knowing this.

Excellent product with easy installation in existing bathroom ceiling. When using the heater function it takes a few seconds to start up. It switches an internal bypass door to switch between fan exhaust and heater blow. Three different speed settings is nice. Very quiet also.
Happy Customer –
I rarely write negative reviews but this was a particularly maddening experience. This unit stopped working properly within 11 months (heater failing, and plastic grill warping from regular use), and when I tried to contact Panasonic customer service I realized it is a black hole. Nearly impossible to reach a person. I held for an hour with no updates on hold time, and when I reached a tech he informed me there are 4 techs servicing all of US and Canada. My unit is less than a year old and they will not replace it. They are sending me parts I will install myself, God help me. If this unit works for you great, but if it fails, good luck.

This is a good alternative to a baseboard heater in our laundry room. It works really well with great air flow. We have it in a thermostat which ,makes it very convenient. You probably would not want it in a bedroom as the noise level would be disruptive when it is blowing but works perfectly for what we were looking for.

This works fantastically, we have a bathroom that’s always cold and it is so nice to have this warming feature that makes the bathroom really warm in literally seconds.

We did the downstairs bathroom with another Panasonic smaller unit with a light, and this time, we replaced the old 30 year old original-to-the-house fan that was slowly dying.
[Install & Electrical]
The installation was straightforward. The old fan used four wires with the red that piggybacked onto the light switch separately. Since we no longer have the light, I disconnected the red wire and rewired the fan to the light switch. I’m going to replace the empty switch that’s disconnected with the built-in night light I bought here on Amazon so we have some light at night.
I had to cut a little bit of the ceiling, but since the spacing through the attic’s beams was wide enough, I had plenty of room to work with.
[Performance]
Others say they hear a ‘click’ when switching it on. Ours don’t but this fan also starts up slowly; assuming this is to preserve the motor life and not jolt the electrical. When we lived in a condo years ago, they had the new AFCI breakers that would trip easily. I feel that this fan’s design would definitely prevent such an issue.
The fan noise is very quiet at the maximum speed and sucks out humidity even when taking a very hot shower. A huge improvement over the old fan! I’m assuming they use quality bearings and motors with a fan that’s balanced.
We also wanted the option to turn the speed down (which can be done easily by pulling down the cover) during winter if it got a little cool at 110 CFM. In a way, yes, we could turn the heat on but we opted not to have the heat function so I did not wire this portion in.
[Summary]
It’s Panasonic. I always swore by their old phones and anything fan-related. It’ll last for years to come. It’s WORTH the extra money compared to the big box store fans that seem ‘cheaper’. You get what you pay for and it’s something you don’t want to replace it in a few years or deal with a noisy fan. Super recommended brand and product.

great product. truly quiet. if my wife and i are talking at a normal volume, we cant hear the fan running.
as in the description, there is a delay when you turn on the fan and/or heater. it explains why in the manual (capacitors charging probably). id guess the delay is maybe 2 seconds tops. you cant really tell its on unless you are listening for the sound anyways 😀
Installed in a small bathroom, running at 110cfm.
100% worth it (overkill is underrated IMHO).
Mirrors dont fog when the wife takes a 30min hot shower (not judging).
My bathroom gets pretty cold in the winter, the heater makes it tolerable within 2mins and toasty warm in about 5min.
my only (very small) complaint is the heater directing vents are not the best. wish it would point it like my HVAC vents (at the opening to my walk-in shower). as such, its directly over the double vanity and thats just fine.

INSTALL
To install this in an existing ceiling it comes with a folding bracket that opens and expands into the ceiling after cutting the hole. The instructions don’t explain that you need to remove the exhaust duct, install that on the bracket first and then you can slide the larger unit into the ceiling bracket that now has the exhaust duct on one side. It’s a little tricky but took me 20-30 minute once the hole was cut to actually install it.
POWER
The unit can be switched from 50, 80 or full 110 CFM heat flow. I measured that on full heat it uses 1,550 Watts of power. I haven’t tested it but my guess is 50 and 80 wouldn’t go down greatly. So when they say this is 1,600 Watts I would call that extremally accurate. You will want a dedicated 20 Amp breaker for this as it will use 13.3 Amps. Ideally with 12AWG wire.
NOISE
Very quiet. So quiet you have to stand under it to see if it’s on.
I also set this up on a Wyze smart switch so I can control it remotely, know when it’s on, setup automation and have an auto-shutoff feature so it can’t stay on too long accidentally.
Mad hatter –
Love look of whisper ceiling fan with heat. Seemed fairly easy to install -BUT page 13 of manual shows switch installation. NOTE – specific switches not included with expensive product. They ( Panasonic) recommended a brand called SWIDGET which is yet another $100 added to hefty price.
