Can't Install a Fan in the Ceiling? Don't Worry!
This WhisperWall fan was designed specifically for through-the-wall mounting to provide ventilation in rooms where a ceiling mounted fan is not possible. An exterior hood with a backdraft damper is included to finish off the job.

So Quiet You Might Not Know it's On
This fan features a totally enclosed condenser motor and a large, double suction blower wheel to quietly move air. A small wheel turning very fast will create more noise than a large wheel turning more slowly for a given airflow. The fan uses a wide blower wheel that moves a large amount of air at reduced RPMs. The blower wheel is also designed to draw air in from both sides, which helps keep the noise down, as there is more area for the air to enter the wheel. In fact, it is quiet enough that you might not even know it's on.

Continuous, Trouble-free Operation for Many Years
This fan is designed to give you continuous, trouble-free operation for many years thanks in part to its high-quality components and permanently lubricated motors which wear at a slower pace. Also, since heat is always detrimental to motor life (the cooler the environment, the longer the motor will last), the electrical configuration of this model's condenser motor is designed to allow it to operate at lower temperatures, increasing the life of the motor and bearings. And, the fan housing is made of heavy-gauge zinc galvanized steel and painted to protect it from rust.

Energy Star® Qualified for Energy Savings
Energy Star qualified products feature super-quiet operation and high CFM-to-Watt efficiency. The Energy Star program was created to help consumers identify products that can save them money and protect the environment by saving energy.

Tired of Cold Air Coming Through Your Ventilation Fan?
This Panasonic fan has a built-in damper to prevent backdraft, which helps to prevent outside air from coming through the fan. Also, thanks to efficient, cool running motors and fluorescent bulbs, it does not create excessive heat--a common problem with recessed lighting fixtures and some competitors' fan/light combinations. Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing to prevent heat from escaping.

Just what I was looking for!

I have a very large walk-in pantry, but unfortunately when my house was built there no way to put an A/C vent in there. I had a pass-thru vent in the wall and a ventilated door, but it still was too warm in there and I always had to leave the door open. When I was remodeling my kitchen I thought how great it would be if there was a fan to put in the wall that would actually pull the cool air and into the pantry. I searched and Voila! found the perfect solution. I actually removed the damper inside to increase the airflow and it's working very well. It's not totally soundless, but it's a pleasant purring sound that is not at all obtrusive or bothersome.

Pretty Great Product, But a Design Review is Needed

I really like this fan, it is of good quality, comes with all the materials needed for various types of instal, it is very quiet and the damper works great. The one issue I have with this product is I. It's actual design. If it's not a design issue they the manufacture should look into their manufacturing build processes. There is a metal tang on the inside of the inner plenum housing that holds the electronics in place. This tang extends beyond the surface of housing surface intended to sit flush against the matting mounting plate. Because of this, when the plenum shroud is screwed into the single mourning location it causes the housing to screw and therefore isn't tight against the wall on the right side where this tang exists. That is very disappointing. I have thought about several was s to create or add or glue shims to the other side so that this sits straight. It will forever bug me if I can't rectify this effect.

The best bath fan I have yet installed

Have installed several bath fans in my DIY career, and this one is the BEST and QUIETEST. Easy retrofit as well...

This thing is perfect for its intended purpose

I've installed two of these in musty closets in our home, attached to timers, and they've made a world of difference. If you need a little extra ventilation and don't want to muck with ductwork, just cut a hole in the side of your house and presto.

So far the product is serving its purpose well.

The product is high quality and I expect it to last. I did not hardwire and opted to add a plug-in cord with a switch.

Winner.

Installation was easy once we got the hole in the 8" masonry wall. It's so quiet I have to listen close to be sure it's on.
