Airvent 435103 Kitchen Extractor Fan 6" 150mm - Pullcord & Shutters

We live on a hilltop in Cornwall where winds can be rather enthusiastic so a problem with any extractor fan is the amount of wind that blows in. Fitting a flap on the outlet helps, espacially with a lump of bl;ue tac to give it some weight but this fan is a game changer. The shutters are really very effective. They open and closes automatically a few seconds after turning the fan on and close themselves afterwards. Are they entirely windproof? No but they are so much better than our previous "no shutter" fan. The fan itself is very effective and doesn't use much electricity so I feel this is money well spent

Seems ok, not tried it yet, but it's supposed to be a 6 inch fan!!, looks for 4 and a half 5 inch max Seems well built, good quality, Can't comment on use and extract rate, as ive not fitted it yet.

After 12 years my extractor fan needed to be replaced and had to be 6"/150mm. Found this on Amazon and unbelievably turned out to be exact fan that I had What a stroke of luck, made fitting an absolute doddle, secured by silicone, same previous unit as didn't want to drill my porcelain tiles incase a replacement fan had different locating holes Great efficient fan and will buy again if needed but if as good as last one, probably won't need to, it's pretty quiet and noise only increases when shutters open and air is sucked through which is understandable I can definitely recommend this unit, 👍

This replaced an older model, which was beginning to get noisy. Unfortunately, the fixing holes were located slightly differently, which required some filing of holes to line up rather than drill more holes into ceramic tiles. The shutters open sooner than the previous model and also close effectively. However, they are not so air tight and in strong winds the unit can emit a slight howl as the air whistles through it. Also, very strong winds can stop the fan, but this is a rare occurrence. It is very effective and extracts the warm humid air from the shower room where it is located. The shutter unit can be easily removed for cleaning .The unit was well packed and promptly delivered from the supplier.

Very neat small unit for the kitchen. Installed by a professional electrician and works quietly and efficiently.

I bought this to replace on old Vortice kitchen fan which was working ok but had broken louvres so was a bit draughty and cold in winter. Note the six inch size refers to the diameter of the fan, not the overall width of the unit. This came simply boxed with basic instructions but no screws or fixings. Removing the old fan was simple and this slotted right into place. The issue I had was the existing mains cable was in the wrong place, so I had to drill through the back of the new unit to manoeuvre it into place. Not that difficult and once done it was then just a question of connecting two wires, very easy but obviously check with a qualified person if unsure. I then just had to screw the main unit to the wall, mount the cover and job done. Works fine, quiet but not totally silent, and I like the fact that it has a grill to protect the shutters. It hasn’t totally cut down the draught (I will look at a new cowling setup too) but it is a marked improvement and the cord is nice and long too. The build quality doesn’t look as good as my old Vortice ditto the rather flimsy internal wiring however it is quite smart in appearance and works ok so I’m sure it will fine for most domestic use.

Excellent value works great and easy to fit

This replaced an existing 150mm fan and was a bit different so I needed to do some work. Eg New screw holes, deeper cut for the flue into the wall and a bespoke hole cut in the back panel for the existing cable. However it was nothing too complicated and once running it's a very good fan. It's noisier than the last one but that seems to be because it's considerably more powerful. The noise is airflow rather than mechanical. The closing vents should be an improvement for the winter too. It sat around for months before I could be bothered to fit it but I'm perfectly happy with it. Edit: I can see my purchase history. I first bought one in 2018. I had to replace it in 2021. It's now late 2024 and I've had to replace it again as it's screaming. I am only replacing it as it's convenient that I know it will slot straight in without fuss. It's a good fan when it's working but I don't know if 3 years is a good enough lifetime though i do run it 24/7 most of the time.
