Product Description
WhisperFit DC Fan is an ideal retrofit vent fan solution. Built-in energy-efficient ECM (DC) motor with Pick-A-Flow airflow selector allows you to select required airflow (50, 80, or 110 CFM). Single-hinged Flex-Z Fast bracket, pre-installed alignment guides, and temporary clip allow for flexible, fast, and easy installation. Can be used to comply with the latest codes and standards. This vent fan enables you to utilize existing duct, while its low profile housing design ensures a proper fit in any bathroom ceiling or other areas of a home with at least 5 5/8” depth. The slide and snap-in junction box and duct collar provide greater flexibility when wiring and attaching the duct, and this premium ceiling ventilation fan now includes preinstalled plastic alignment guides and temporary retaining clip. These clips molded into the casting will allow the fan to stay in place while the installer fastens the fan into can. Once installed, use the Pick-A-Flow airflow selector to customize the airflow to meet your customers’ needs.
Features
Plastic standard 4” adapter with backdraft damper/shutter allows for better air tightness (3" reducer included in box)
Slide and snap-in junction box and duct collar provide even greater installation flexibility
Pre-installed alignment guides help guide adaptor assembly into place during installation for a tight precision fit
Temporary clip molded into casing holds fan in place while installer fastens fan to can safely
Built-in metal flange provides blocking for penetrations through drywall as an Air Barrier, and assists with the decrease in leakage in the Building Envelope during blower door testing
UL listed for tub/shower enclosure when GFCI protected and UL listed for use with the Panasonic Ceiling Radiation Damper (model # PC-RD05C5)
6-year warranty ECM motor, 3-year warranty on parts, 5 year on LED chip panel

Hardest part was replacing the old 3" duct with newer 4" insulated ducting. That was definitely a two person job.
Very quiet overall, three speed settings are nice, silent/slow startup takes about fifteen seconds - no reason for that "feature."
The simplicity of the installation made the upgrade to this fan a breeze. It operates quietly, and the adjustable CFM settings (50-80-110) provide versatility for various bathroom sizes. If you're in search of an efficient and user-friendly bathroom ceiling fan, the Panasonic WhisperFit DC Fan is a solid choice that delivers on its promises.

If you're in search of an efficient and user-friendly bathroom ceiling fan, the Panasonic WhisperFit DC Fan is a solid choice that delivers on its promises.
The fan we installed on a second floor with duct of about 6 feet to the ceiling and not too many curves, but the fan works amazingly, I have a small bathroom maybe 10X7 (I'll post the exact once I measure) and I used to shower and it would fog the mirror and the walls would be very sweaty, with this update the improvement is amazing, no fog and the bathroom stays fresh, can't really rave much more than that but the am a fan of this fan :p
I set it to 110CFM and you can feel pooling air from underneath the door and the small window that we left there.
I installed the fan between the shower and the sync, so not right on top of the shower but as close as possible to it.
The installation is straight forward but very close to amazing, I paired it with the Leviton DHD05 and the fan kicks in automatically in NY, haven't seen during the summer if I need to adjust the humidity sensor but for December 2023 it's doing great.
They are so quiet I literally swore when turning the switch on after installation. I thought I forgot to wire something, then I saw the fan moving. It soft starts, so it does make some noise at full speed, but very little even in max.
Airflow is much improved, and selectable.
I personally installed 4; three with attic access, one without.
I regret doing them in that order because once I figured out how to remove the old fan the install was really easy.
Bottom line, if I had more bathroom fans I'd buy more of these, no hesitation.
