5.0 out of 5 stars Working well in a sloped catherdral ceiling
This Panasonic bath fan has all the great features Panasonic fans are known for: ease of installation, clean look, quiet operation, reliability and effective ventilation.I installed this fan in a bathroom in a sloped ceiling which I had access to via the attic. I do not think it is rated by the manufacturer for an angled installation. I was concerned the bearings might not be happy with this orientation, and might give out early. But I needed a fan and I've had great success with a previous Panasonic bathroom ventilation fan.I made sure the fan's baffle was oriented properly (I had to point the outlet port facing up towards the peak of the ceiling to ensure it would operate properly).I initially set this fan at its highest CFM rating (110 CFM or so, I can't remember exactly). But it started to make a slight squeal after running for several minutes. I backed off the fan to 80 CFM and no more squeal. It has been in place more than 6 months with daily usage and has not squealed again.The ventilation is excellent. There is no moisture on the mirror after a long shower. For the record, this bathroom is about 9' x 10', and the sloped ceiling adds much more volume to the room. The ventilation duct is 4" galvanized steel (smooth) with a short 4" aluminum flex section to help ease the initial connection to the fan. This duct runs about 8 feet in total with two elbows at about 15 degrees, plus another 90 degree elbow, then vents through a Broan 4" vent hood in the roof. The ventilation is excellent even with all those elbows, and length, and the lower 80 CFM speed setting.I skipped the moisture sensing option, preferring the fan to run only when someone turns on the switch. I installed a Leviton DT130 countdown timer switch (5-10-15-30 minute) and its been great. You can have this switch stay on indefinitely if you want. It's a Decora style switch and easy to install.

5.0 out of 5 stars impressed with its performance
I recently installed the Panasonic FV-0511VF1 WhisperFit DC exhaust fan, and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. This fan is a game-changer for anyone looking for a quiet yet powerful bathroom exhaust solution.First off, the installation was straightforward, even for someone like me who isn’t a professional. The fan fit perfectly into the existing space, and the adjustable CFM settings made it easy to customize the airflow to suit my needs. The build quality is excellent, and it feels like a product that will last for years.What really stands out is how whisper-quiet this fan is. Even on the highest setting, it’s barely noticeable. It effectively removes moisture and odors from the bathroom without any of the loud, annoying noise that you typically expect from exhaust fans. I also appreciate the energy efficiency of the DC motor, which should help lower energy costs over time.Overall, the Panasonic FV-0511VF1 is an outstanding product that delivers on its promises.
5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and quiet
Fan is powerful and very quiet. Slow start is confusing in the beginning but then you get used to it. Installation is not hard but not as easy as shown in the product video though. It would have been nice if speed setting was easily accessible. It is kind of set during installation and forget since all installers put caulking around the grill to be airtight. Overall, looks good and works great.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good quality
These are good quality fans for replacing the old loud bathroom fans. Easy to install once you cut the opening. Comes with all needed templates and hardware. 3 speeds on the fan and great airflow. The size is good and they are very quiet.
