Review: Panasonic WhisperFit DC Retrofit Ventilation Fan: Redefining Quiet and Efficiency - The Panasonic FV-0511VFL1 WhisperFit DC Retrofit Ventilation Fan with Light stands as a beacon of excellence in the realm of home ventilation solutions. Our extensive experience with installing these units—too numerous to count—solidifies our opinion that this product is unparalleled in its class. Panasonic's WhisperFit series has become the gold standard for us, offering superior performance that eclipses other well-established brands in the market. Labeling a product as a "game changer" is often done lightly, but in the case of the WhisperFit, it's a title richly deserved. The fan's operation is exceptionally quiet, a feature that is as impressive as it is appreciated. Moreover, the simplicity and ingenuity of its retrofit installation process are unmatched. We've honed the installation down to a mere 35 minutes, a testament to the fan's design, although first-time installers may require a bit a lot longer. The fan's bracket system is a stroke of genius, designed for easy handling and installation by a single individual without the struggle of supporting its weight during attachment. This design thoughtfully allows for the separate installation of the vent and electrical components, minimizing the physical strain and simplifying the process. Beyond its installation convenience, the WhisperFit offers three selectable ventilation speeds, easily adjustable to meet diverse needs. Pairing this fan with an optional humidistat—Panasonic offers compatible models—addresses the common challenge of mold and mildew in residential bathrooms especially. This combination proves particularly effective in environments where user behavior or inadequate existing fans contribute to excessive moisture, automatically activating the fan when humidity levels rise. The combination is perfection. Our endorsement of the Panasonic WhisperFit extends beyond a mere five-star rating. Its consistent performance, ease of installation, and quiet operation have made it a staple in our business, with frequent reorders facilitated by the swift delivery services of desertcart. This synergy between Panasonic's innovation, desertcart's logistics, and our implementation expertise creates an efficient and effective solution for ventilation Please keep in mind that footprint changes for ventilation fans will likely require minor drywall repairs or touch-up painting, highlighting the typical considerations when replacing or upgrading fans. Additionally, our video showcases the fan's discreet ramp-up feature, illustrating how it quietly progresses to its full capacity—a subtle yet significant detail that underscores the fan's sophisticated design. In conclusion, our allegiance to the Panasonic WhisperFit DC Retrofit Ventilation Fan is unwavering. Its impact on improving indoor air quality, coupled with the ease of retrofit installation and operational silence, makes it an indispensable asset for any property. Panasonic's commitment to quality and innovation continues to impress, ensuring our continued patronage for years to come.
Review: Easy Installation, Great Performance, and Very Quiet - I have done seven ventilation fan replacements between my previous house and current house using the Panasonic fans. Builder-grade ventilation fans just did not cut it - they were loud and useless. Of the seven Panasonic fans used five are previous model FV-08-11VF5 (other than using AC motor and having just 80/110 CFM selections, it is identical to the FV-0511VF1 under review). Two are FV-0511VF1. They are all excellent ventilation fans, probably the best retrofit option for the home owners due to their easy and innovative installation method. Especially if the access to the space above ceiling is limited. FV-0511VF1 uses DC motor and it takes about a minute to reach its full speed, unlike the previous AC motor model which reaches full speed in less than 10 seconds. Once reaches the full speed I can feel the air flowing and it is pretty quiet (especially compared to the builder-grade fans I replaced). One thing to keep in mind, even though this fan comes with a 4"-to-3" duct adapter, I recommend using 4" duct whenever possible to get the best performance and the lowest noise level out of the fan. Of the seven replacements I have done, I was able to replace six original 3" ducts with 4" ducts through attic space. I was not able to replace the downstairs bathroom one as its duct goes through floor and ceiling space that I have no access to. And this one definitely has less performance and higher noise level than the other six.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the dimensions of this fan?**
A: Outer grate 13" x 13"
Recessed guts: 10.25" x 10.25"/ 5.625" high

**Q: What is it about this kit that makes it preferable for retrofitting versus new builds?**
A: This is good for both new and remodel construction.
(Existing replacement) The fan is bigger than most fans that are being replaced so there isn’t need for drywall patches/paint. The flexible bracket makes it extremely easy. If you have basic tools, a little experience with remodel work and take your time you won’t need to go into attic at all, or if you use the slim low profile version it can be done in between upstairs and downstairs situations. I’ve installed over 200 Panasonic exhaust fans as a professional electrician over the years. They are one of the only exhaust fan brands that I can honestly recommend. Hands down the quietest as well. There is a reason they cost more than the builder grade $15 Broan fans that come in most houses.

**Q: The product description says "dc".  does that mean it will or won't run off of standard 120v ac current?**
A: These fans run on normal US 120v … The “ DC” motor is powered internally once you supply 120v AC power and is better quality & makes it quieter.
Hope this helps …

**Q: does this have a 30 day return window? Not sure it will be right and installer not doing for 10 days**
A: Mine worked, didn't worry about 90days
