Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this ventilation fan because it was rated very quiet and also because it boasts a damper that will keep cold air from coming in.
Claim #1 was true--fan is almost imperceptible when on.
Claim #2 not so much.The damper still allowed a great deal of cold air to billow in.
My main problem, however, with this is that Panasonic has a unique light bulb base which makes it impossible to replace their bulb with any other brand (the base has little notches that aren't in the center of the base, they're off center, not like any other 4-pin base, so nothing else fits).Not only that, but Panasonic only offers ONE type of bulb for this--an 18 W 3500K bulb--which is very bright and very blue/cool.So if you wanted softer, warmer light in your bathroom, you're basically screwed.And if you need to replace the bulb, yep, that's right--you've got to go to Panasonic.
It took me 6 phone calls, 4 disconnects, 3 stupid customer service people, and finally 1 phone call back from Panasonic to confirm that they indeed do not have any other bulbs but the 18W 3500K model.
If had known this, I certainly would have made a different choice and suffered through a little bit of a noisier fan.
