Envirovent SIL100T Silent Bathroom Extractor Fan with Timer

Great fan, quiet, straightforward to install as a replacement. (I don't quite understand why the timer screw is so tiny and inaccessible as to be reached only by a special tiny instrument - strange, but not a problem).
Recommended.

Excellent! Easy to install, extremely quiet and fit over the location of the axial fan it replaced perfectly, so possible to reuse the holes and Rawl plugs, making the install extremely easy.

The second one we've fitted as they work reliably well. Very quiet, easy to fit, easy to clean and easy to adjust the timer.

attractive fan and very quite, but front cover was difficult to remove

Easy to install, looks great. Came really quickly which was great

Nothing

The fan was as described & the customer service with regards to a product issue has been excellent by Luke.

Looks nicer and much quieter than the one it was replacing. Very happy

Price, design, noise

This extractor fan is supremely quiet. It works very well, and was easy to install.

Nothing to dislike

First class product. Runs almost silently but extracts significant quantities of wet, warm air from a shower room. What I don't particularly like are:-

1. no way of knowing what the delay adjustment represents for fan remaining on when it is switched 'off''; and

2. the release catch for removing the cover is very, very fiddly!!

Excellent fan, replaced a previous vent axia fan and extraction is considerably better and still just as quiet. Simple to fit.

My go-to axial extract fan for most situations, but it has its foibles.



Positives:

- Quiet

- Reliable (no call-backs yet, no failures out of the box yet)

- Looks ok

- Manufacturer doe not specify the requirement to protect the fan with a 3A fuse, unlike many other makes

- Comes with a little plastic tool (that clips into place under the cover) for adjusting the timer

- Comes with a (albeit flimsy) built in backdraft shutter, which can be easily removed if not needed



Negatives:

- The indicator light is on when the fan is running, rather than when the switched live is on. So if the fan is controlled by a pull cord, and the pull cord does not also operate the bathroom lights, then (after you've turned the fan on), you have no way of knowing, other than your memory, whether the fan will stay on permanently, or whether you turned it off (with the pull cord) and it's just on its run-on timer. On other models, such as Vent-Axia, the indicator gives the status of the switched live. Can be resolved by having a pull cord with neon (if there's a neutral available at the switch), or by replacing the 3-pole isolator (if there is one) with an isolator and neon (e.g. using Click Minigrid).

- There is no adjustment on the 4 mounting holes, i.e. they are holes rather than 45 degree slots. No problem if it's a fresh install, but it's unlikely these will line up with existing plugs

- Cable entry is bottom left, and the gubbins takes up a fair amount of space along the top and right hand side, so for retrofit installs where cable entry is top right and you can't pull more cable through, this is going to be tricky

- It's very easy to remove the cover while the fan is sat in your hands, but it can be very difficult to do so once mounted. So get the run-on time set how the client wants it before you put the cover on

- As it's very low profile, it needs a good flat surface to sit on - not very forgiving of poor wall/ceiling finishes

- The tube at the back sticks out a bit further than some

silent operation

I've bought two of these fans and found that they are very simple to install. The package comes with an explanatory booklet to help get the wire arrangement correct. I accomplished the task first time. The fans are much more silent operation than the previous installed fans in our two bathrooms so I am pleased with the purchases. For me, I'd give it 10/10.

Purchased as a like for like replacement, so fitting was straightforward. Compact, efficient and quiet unit. Previous extractor lasted for 6 years in a bathroom - not sure whether that's good/bad/average life span? - and overall did a good job.

Delivered next day exactly as promised. No issues.

Order and delivery were first class. Installation took about 30 mins and was straight forward. Bottom line...well pleased. Thank you extractor fan world.

Parcel got lost by DPD and customer service was excellent - simple & efficient process.
