Xpelair DX100BTS Simply Silent Bathroom Extractor Fan with Timer, Adjustable Twin Speed, Ghost Air Movement Technology for Quiet Running, 100mm (4″), Square – Cool White

Quieter than my last Xpelair fan (which failed after year's worth of heavy daily use in a downstairs toilet), even in full power mode (there is a jumper setting for two power options). Instructions were a bit confusing as it suggests the DX100BTS has a humidity sensor and adjuster on it, which it doesn't. Was easy to fit although I was replacing pretty much like for like.

No nonsense extractor fan that works efficiently and very quietly. Easy to install and looks smart enough.

Good product but noisy when setting is changed to higher power.

Easy to fit not too loud well Made works as it should looks good

direct replacement for existing fan which has succumbed to wear and tear after a fair bit of use, it was still very functional but not as quiet as when originally installed a few years ago. I'd removed and thoroughly cleaned the original one several times and will do the same with this replacement, it only takes a maximum of an hour, it's not difficult and well worth the effort in my opinion as they do become gummed up with the inevitable grime (damp dust within a bathroom environment).

I bought this as a replacement for a very noisy fan in a downstairs toilet, that woke the whole house up when you turned on the light. This has the 2 speeds and so 2 separate noise levels. Personally as the room is small and am not shifting wet air from say a shower, I was happy to leave it set on the slower speed default config, which is obviously the quietest mode. It is easy to wire up and I just set the timer to the lowest setting, which seems to be about 2 mins after the light has gone off, which is good enough for me. It is nice and quiet and I can turn the light on in the morning without waking everyone up!

Not the greatest, I could suck condensation out faster myself. Can’t afford to get someone to take it back out to return it. Wouldn’t recommend!

Works well looks ok and is reasonably quiteThe large ballast resistor that will get hot, which is a waste of power and does not fit well on the pcb well the pcb holes for the resistor should be the correct pitch and ceramic spacer to support the resistor spacing it away from contact with the pcb should have been used, sloppy engineering. The cover clip looks like it will be difficult when I need to remove it for cleaning dust accumulation on the fan. Also as the release clip needs to be accessible from the side, this reduces fitting positions making it difficult to align the cable hole with the existing power cord. No doubt when the unit fails that large I’ll fitted resistor will be the reason, before the fan bearing will give out. Which should not be before 10 years of use.
