Delta Electronics VFB25AX Breez 80/110 CFM Dual Speed Exhaust Fan, 0.5 Sone/1 Sone

Product Review

Innovative design for long life, low noise and low power consumption, the Delta Breez dual speed exhaust fan model VFB25AX delivers two air flow rates of 80 CFM at 0.5 Sones and 110 CFM at 1.0 Sone. Power consumption is only 7.7 Watts with an efficiency rating of 10.40 CFM/Watt when operating at low speed (80 CFM) mode. The life expectancy for this fan is 70,000 hrs, which is about 8 years running continuously. This quiet energy efficient exhaust fan combines several design innovations, including a switching power supply that converts AC 110~220V power source to DC power to drive a DC brushless motor. This design provides a quieter solution with energy savings up to 65-percent compared to traditional AC motor products. Users can cycle switch on/off for low speed mode and high speed mode. This product also incorporates a dual color (green and amber) LED indicator to show if it is running at low speed mode or high speed mode. Because of the effects it has on health, comfort, and serviceability, indoor air quality in our homes is becoming an increasing concern to many people. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has recommended a mechanical exhaust system be installed in your home to provide whole building air ventilation (ASHRAE Standard 62.2-2007) in order to improve indoor air quality. This Delta BreezSignature VFB25AX dual speed exhaust fan is the best product to achieve this goal with its superior features of ultra low power consumption and almost silent operation. Cycle switch on/off to change the mode in between low speed and high speed. The energy cost for operating this fan 24/7 for an entire year is approximately $8.09 ~ $16.81.

Energy Star-Certified Fan for Cost-Effective Ventilation
Ideal for bathroom spaces, the ceiling-mount Delta Electronics Breez 80/110 CFM Dual-Speed Exhaust Fan works to deliver improved indoor air quality--which offers the potential of improved comfort and health for your family in the home. And this fan's smart design is Energy Star certified, making it a good choice for keeping your utility bills manageable and running a green household.

Quiet and Flexible with Dual-Speed Performance
Because it features two speeds, the Breez makes it easy to ramp up performance when necessary--like when you want to clear out humid air after a long hot shower--then dial back for maximum efficiency. Its green and amber LED lights indicate which speed the fan is operating on at a glance.

On the "low" setting, this fan delivers an air flow rate of 80 CFM, and is nearly silent with noise production of less than 0.5 sones. Its 7.7-watt power-consumption rating in this mode translates to an impressive efficiency rating of approximately 10.40 CFM per watt at 0.1-inch of static pressure.

On the "high" setting, this fan delivers an air flow rate of 110 CFM, and remains impressively quiet with noise production of less than 1.0 sone. Its 16.0-watt power-consumption rating in this mode translates to an impressive efficiency rating of approximately 7.00 CFM per watt at 0.1-inch of static pressure.

DC Motor Technology Ensures Consistent Performance
One innovation that allows the Breez to be so efficient is a switching power supply that converts your home's standard AC 110~220-volt power source to DC power, which allows the fan to utilize an efficient DC motor.

This DC, brushless motor is engineered to run continuously, and offers a life expectancy of 70,000 hours--about eight years of nonstop ventilation. The Breez's DC motor includes a built-in soft-start function to increase the lifespan of its bearings, and it's designed to automatically power off the fan if the impeller ever locks abnormally. In addition, the motor and blower assembly is equipped with a thermal cutoff fuse for added safety.

Durable, Easy-to-Install Body with a Clean Look
The Breez's body is features galvanized steel construction for durability. It also has a detachable 4-inch duct adapter and a built-in back-draft damper.

Also, the face of the fan unit is a sleek, unobtrusive grille that blends in seamlessly with any decor--whether you're installing the exhaust fan to update an existing bath or placing it in a newly constructed home. And the grille is constructed with sturdy ABS material. It attaches securely and directly to the housing with torsion springs, and the entire unit is built for easy installation.

UL and HVI Certified for Safety and Reliability
Built for use with ducts that measure at least 4 inches in diameter, the Breez has been evaluated by the Underwriter Laboratories and conforms to both UL and cUL safety standards. It is also UL and cUL listed for use in a tub or shower enclosure when used with GFCI branch-circuit wiring. And it's HVI (Home Ventilation Institute) certified.

The Delta Electronics VFB25AX Breez 80/110 CFM Dual-Speed Exhaust Fan is backed by a limited three-year warranty.
