Without a bathroom vent fan, bathrooms are susceptible to excessive moisture buildup that increases the chances of damaging bathroom walls, floors, and ceilings, as well as bathroom fixtures. Warm, humid air, caused by running hot water for baths and showers, is a perfect environment for mold, mildew and microorganism growth. High moisture in rooms can also break down interior room materials such as wallboard, wall paint, and trim, not to mention the entry door.For a safe, healthy bathroom ensure there is appropriate ventilation. The high air flow, long lifespan, noise-free operation, and low energy consumption makes this a very appealing prospect if you’re in the market for a new kitchen extractor fan. In fact, one customer reported using this device for more than 5 years without any issues, so longevity is something this fan has in spades. This particular model also doubles quite nicely as a bathroom extractor fan. Pros:
