Comment: Very quiet unit, easy to install. It replaced an old noisy, fan type unit. Old fan was smaller, but the new fan fit quite well.

Comment: You may look at the price of this fan and say, "Hey! I can buy four fans at Home Depot for that amount!" And those four fans will be noisy, rattling affairs that won't move air and won't last a year. This baby is dead silent (really - I had to get on a step ladder next to it to make sure it was on) and yet it moves 50 CFM with an oversize squirrel-cage fan (the secret) and an excellent solid state Panasonic motor. If you want to do the job right (and only once) spend the money - buy this fan! (And no - I don't work for Panasonic or own their stock.)

Comment: We bought this fan because it was recommended by Consumer's Report.
It is soooooo.... quiet. We love it and the installation wasn't too hard.

Panasonic FV-05VF2 WhisperFit Low Profile Ceiling Ventilation Fan
Our old fan was about the size of a shoe box for a kid's pair of shoes, was rated at 50 cfm, and was loud enough that we couldn't hear anything else in the bathroom when it was on. In fact, we could hear it running in other parts of the house, let alone the family room.
This new fan is much bigger, about the size of a shoe box for a pair of men's work boots, and also is rated at 50 cfm. But it's so quiet that we specifically have to listen for it to tell that it's on, even when in the bathroom itself. Yet it still draws at least as much air as our old fan.
Installation was straight forward. We had extra screws left over, e.g. for a 4"-to-3" outlet reducer we didn't need, but was a nice thought. We like the flap in the outlet that blocks backdrafts when the fan's off. And the springs used to hold the cover flush against the ceiling are clever.
If I'd have to find a complaint, it would be that they didn't include wire nuts. Certainly not a big deal. The instructions aren't the clearest, and a bit confusing at points. But, seriously, after reading through them a couple times, installation went smoothly and easily the first time.
We're considering it money well spent.
