WhisperValue Ceiling/Wall Mount Bathroom Exhaust Fan, 50-80-100 CFM, FV-0510VS1

This thing is great! Whisper is correct, this thing is pretty quiet compared to my old bathroom exhaust fan. It is super effective at moving air from the shower, while not blasting my ears off. The light is surprisingly bright, but not too bright. I was a little wary of spending this much money, but I read prior reviews about Panasonic Bathroom Exhaust Fans so gave it a try. It is totally worth the investment since this is something you use everyday and helps keep your bathroom mold free. The installer had no issues with putting this in. It looks great in my bathroom. I would recommend this exhaust fan if you have been looking around and feel unsure about what to get. I don't think you would regret it!

This fan is impressively quiet while still moving a lot of air. It makes a huge difference in clearing steam from the bathroom after showers without being loud or distracting. The slim design made installation straightforward and it fits perfectly even in a smaller space. Build quality feels solid and it runs smoothly without rattling. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for an efficient and nearly silent bathroom fan.

Super quite compared to my old unit in place which was noisy, Installation was not that easy if you have space constranints but made it work other wise a great product, I paired it with auto turn on switch.... I wonder if I can pair it with in-wall humidity sensor switch without builtin humidity sensor so it turns on and off based on humidity in the bathroom. THe built in humidity sensor seem to adjust airflow based on the himidity but if you want to automatically turn on/off based on humidity you'll have to do that with an external wall mounted switch.....which is what I have setup I paired this exhaust with Lutron Decore In-wall humidity sensor switch so It turns on/off based on the humidity in the bathroom and the airflow fan speed is regulated by the inbuilt humidity sensor...not ideal but works almost as intended.

Nice fan. Quiet. Light works well enough. Little bit of a spot light, but I like the color temp of the light. Not a simple replacement fan. Unfortunately, fans with the cool bracket that fits between joists doesn’t come with a light. This one with the light mounts to the bottom of a joist. So I had to cut away a lot of drywall and patch. Hopefully this fan lasts a long time and I don’t have to go through that again any time soon. Still vastly better than the 20+ year old fan it replaces.

This ceiling fan is a perfect replacement to our old one. In addition, it is so quiet that it tooknme while to realize that it was on.

The Panasonic FV-0510VS1 is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a quiet and energy-efficient bathroom ventilation fan. Its WhisperValue technology ensures minimal noise, making it perfect for bathrooms located near bedrooms or other quiet areas. The low-profile design allows for easy installation in standard 2x4 ceilings, although I recommend using a 4-inch vent hose for optimal performance. The fan's Energy Star certification guarantees efficient operation, helping to reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills. Overall, the Panasonic FV-0510VS1 is a reliable and high-quality ventilation fan that provides both quiet performance and energy savings.

Good 👍

My dad’s a contractor so I trusted his judgment when he told me to buy this exhaust fan for our bathroom—and he was so right. I didn’t realize how much we needed a replacement until we installed it. Total game changer! I take long and steamy showers so we need a very powerful exhaust fan and I feel like this clears the steam in just a few minutes. Our previous one was pretty loud and this one is truly whisper like quiet too so we do need to remember to check on the switch to make sure we turn it off once it has done its job! Highly recommend!

Easy to install. DC motor. 3 speeds selectable: 50 cfm silent, 80 cfm semi-silent, 100 cfm noticeable sound of whooshing air but very localized to fan area ( motor is silent, whooshing air makes noise). Yes as per instructions it takes a few (5) seconds for fan to turn on after flipping switch. We run it to vent basement at 100cfm and it even pulls air from first floor down our staircase. In conjunction with a dehumidifier and this fan, our basement is more comfortable as the dehumidifier pulls cool damp air from floor level and blows warm air (from heat-exchanger and fan motor) upwards and this exhaust fan takes it outside. We have replaced all builder installed fans with similar DC motor ones within this price range. Would buy this for bath fan replace so it can be run at full speed to remove heat in house during summer and at a low speed in winter. CON: exhaust pipe is oval and adapter not available in Canada: work around: use 4 inch aluminium elbow: tape seams of elbow with metal tape (or else joints will come apart) and then gently squeeze one end until it matches oval shape, insert and tape together to fan.

Excellent product. I have bought 5 of these in the past few years and they are all great, quiet and well built. I highly recommend them.

The 70 sq.ft. bathroom in our house had a 70 CFM Broan installed which was quite loud, but more worrying was the amount of moisture on the ceiling and running down the walls after a shower. Bought this one based on the reviews and the selectable CFM’s. It installed fairly easy since it all comes apart, just had to cut a bigger hole attach the duct and wiring, snap it back together and screw it to the joist with some extra wood support I installed for rigidity. I set it at 80 CFM and its much quieter than the previous fan which was 4 sones. More importantly there is no more moisture collecting on the ceiling and walls!

Due to the nature of my ceilings in my bathroom, a ceiling mounted vent fan was not an option. So I planned on wall mounting a ceiling fan but couldn't find anything that would fit in a 4" wall cavity. My friend who owns a contracting company told me about this fan and how it has a smaller profile. I have to say it fit perfectly with no hassle at all. The availability to select 50, 80, or 100 CFMs is a great feature given that there aren't many low profile vent fans out there. The noise levels at 50 and 80 are very quiet. However, at 100 as you can imagine it gets a little louder. My wife and I actually decided to set it to 100 CFM because 50 and 80 were too quiet. The noise of the fan offers some... "privacy" when using the bathroom. Thankfully, to change the CFM is extremely easy, simply remove the cover and flick a switch. The general install was straightforward, particularly if you are handy. A few screws secure it to the stud, wiring is as basic as it gets, and the cover leaves lots of room for error when drywalling around it. My only slight concern would be the shape of the duct. I used zip-ties along with aluminum duct tape as you have to bend the ducting to fit the low profile oval shape. I understand that this feature must exist to fit the 4" space, so I can't complain too much. Overall, if you require a vent fan that can be used in tight spaces, this is a great option.

Great fan, works great, easy to install, low noise and adjustable fan speeds. Happy with the purchase I would recomemd.
