Manrose QF100T Quiet Extractor Fan with Timer for 4"/100mm Duct

Very pleased with the extractor, easy to install. Quiet and does its job very well.

This fan does make noise as you would expect from a spinning electrical device; however, unlike our previous 10-year-old fan (that this replaced) the noise is substantially less. It is not silent by any means however the key difference for me is the motor noise/vibration does not transmit in the wall. This key difference means the fan is inaudible in other rooms (or outside the bathroom door) and makes a huge difference in our home. The flow rate of this fan this wipes the floor compared with our previous fan. We used to leave the old fan on all day simply because the walls were sopping wet! Now with the new fan, the walls are still damp after a power shower but they are dry after the 30-minute run-on duration (I set it to the max so that we can turn the fan off and know the room will still dry out). Duration kind of doesn't matter however since the fan is silent outside the room and you could, in theory, leave it on since it is also approximately 1/3rd the power use compared with our old model. It is also worth noting that technology seems to have moved on and the enclosure is a lot neater than our previous fan, in fact, it looks half the size from a bulk perspective and sits much tighter to the wall. It is a 100mm square/standard-fit so there was only a little drilling to seat new screw locations in the wall and the wiring was straightforward enough since the old fan was a similar run-on model so there was already a switched live. Another thing to note is there are no side entry grommets for the wiring so our old surface-mounted wiring required me to creatively adapt the case with a small hacksaw so that the wiring could enter the chassis. Now I'm guessing in a newer house than ours with plasterboard this would be fitted with rear entry cabling however in an older solid wall house you are left with wire chasing or case adaption (I choose the later). There is no led/light on this model (which was an oversite on my part) so I will now have to replace the pull cord switch in the ceiling since there is no other way to tell if the switch is ON/OFF other than waiting 30 minutes to see (if it is important to you that this is visible on the fan itself then I suggest another model with integral on/off light). All in all, I'm happy with the fan and would definitely buy this again should the need arise.

I bought this to replace an Emma, which I think is the same maker, but an older name, Apart from the barrel around the fan being perhaps 1mm wider which made it a bit of a squeeze getting it in, it went in very easily and the addition of a "chocolate block" to screw the electric wires in is very handy as the holes and screws are larger than the very small block on the previous one. All done in 10 minutes. Then the fun started. The scale on the timer does not reflect the accurate "off" time and it took me well over an hour of fiddling to set it to the required "off" time. I am lucky I have enough room between the fan housing and the ceiling to use a small watch screwdriver otherwise it would have had to come off the wall 4 times because my cables are not long enough to pull it out of the wall with them attached. I have left the small lugs out of the cover screw holes for now to check the timer remains accurate - it's a shame because otherwise it was very straight-forward. I will say it is quiet compared to the other one and worth the approx. £9 difference between the standard timer one.

Good quality. Fan is very quite then the one I had before. Easy to fit.

This was a like for like replacement as a toilet extractor fan. The last one, and this did, and still is working effectively. Csn vibrate a little but happy with the product.

very quiet , easy to install and works well

The design has been improved since the last one I bought. It’s easier to connect the wiring. Well done

My extractor fan had died so this was a simple replacement. Prior to dying, it was a relatively noisy extractor fan. Nothing too distracting, but that's because I had little reference to noise levels. Not only was it noisy but the sound was very harsh. I had gone through a variety of extractor fans and noticed there were some very cheap options so wasn't sure the merit of paying £35.99 when you can pay significantly cheaper. Indeed I've even found this item cheaper elsewhere. Nevertheless I figured a quiet fan was worth a go, and I'm glad I did. This was really easy to fit, mainly because all the fixtures were already there as this was dimensions wise a like for like replacement. Now the volume. The fan gives off a gentle hum, and sounds more like a gentle wind than a fan, and is noticeably quieter. Glad I got it and can recommend but keep an eye out for cheaper vendors.

Le produit semble de qualité, l'installation est (très) facile. Pour le modèle avec timer, il suffit de brancher le neutre directement, et ensuite le "switched live" sur le fil qui sort de l'interrupteur, et "permanent live" sur le fil qui arrive à l'interrupteur. Le schéma livré sur la notice est très clair. Bon la notice est en anglais, mais honnêtement, c'est super simple. Je l'ai installé hier, rien à dire, il ne fait pas beaucoup de bruit. Je suis satisfait de mon achat !

nichts zu bemängeln

ASPIRATORE CONSEGNATO CORRISPONDE A CIO CHE AVEVO RICHIESTO,LA CONSEGNA E'AVVENUTA DOVE AVEVO RICHIESTO, IL PACCO ERA BEN PROTETTO,UNICO PROBLEMA NON C'ERANO ISTRUZIONI IN ITALIANO.

Viene sin un cable de conexión que hace imposible su funcionamiento. Fatal tanto trabajo de desmontar antiguo y volver a ponerlo otra vez para tapar el agujero.
