Manrose QF100T Quiet Extractor Fan with Timer for 4"/100mm Duct

Easy to install, fittings to wall all lined up with existing installation (unlike another brand).A little fiddly to wire in, but go there in the end.Quieter than my original. Was unable to use the timer function because the clowns who installed the original fan when they renovated the bathroom did not wire correctly.Fan is so quiet you barely know it’s on.Great product, highly recommended.

A quiet bathroom extractor fan at a great price with an adjustable timer!Recommended....Birtie

Good value, easy to fit, silent. I have three of them fitted in my house. They don’t last very long before they need replacing. I’ve probably used a dozen over the years.

Have three installed and all working perfectly. Highly recommend.

The fan is on the quiet side and was simple to install. 100% satisfaction with the product and the seller.

It’s a very good item my third one. Good value, and quite.

Manrose fans are generally well made and last a few years of regular use. A problem with all these types of fans when replacing an old one is that there seems to be no industry standard for the cable entry location or wall fixing screw positions when you change manufacturer, which means you have to be wary of drilling any extra holes in the wall if you are replacing a worn out fan. I usually resort to drilling the required holes in the fan body using a paper template made from the previous fit. This model runs nice and quietly BUT the tube in which the fan itself sits is slightly larger diameter than other models and is a very tight fit in a standard plastic through wall vent tube, which is fine provided that the vent tube is exactly 90 degrees from the wall surface in every orientation. How likely is THAT? Other models have a slightly smaller tube which allows for a slight misalignment. You might like to check your vent tubing alignment with a Try Square before ordering this one. Adjusting the timer can be awkward as the adjusting screw is on the top, so if you know how to do it safely you might want to set that before you start fitting it to the wall.

I bought this to replace an Emma, which I think is the same maker, but an older name, Apart from the barrel around the fan being perhaps 1mm wider which made it a bit of a squeeze getting it in, it went in very easily and the addition of a "chocolate block" to screw the electric wires in is very handy as the holes and screws are larger than the very small block on the previous one. All done in 10 minutes. Then the fun started. The scale on the timer does not reflect the accurate "off" time and it took me well over an hour of fiddling to set it to the required "off" time. I am lucky I have enough room between the fan housing and the ceiling to use a small watch screwdriver otherwise it would have had to come off the wall 4 times because my cables are not long enough to pull it out of the wall with them attached. I have left the small lugs out of the cover screw holes for now to check the timer remains accurate - it's a shame because otherwise it was very straight-forward. I will say it is quiet compared to the other one and worth the approx. £9 difference between the standard timer one.
