Xpelair 93224AW 4-Inch Standard Bathroom Ventilation Wall/Ceiling Extractor Fan - White

Being ever so slightly undersized versus rival units makes it a breeze to use as a replacement for an existing extractor that's had its dayThe basic VX100 version just needs a switched live and a neutral The switched live is usually from the room light switchThe VX100T timer version needs a permanent live as well as the neutral and the switched live to operateOnce the room light has been switched on the extractor will kick in from the switched live feedIt'll run from this until the switched live coming from the room light switch is turned back off, and then:Stop immediately if its the basic VX100or if its the VX100T continue to run from the permanent live for a preset amount of timeWiring up the timer version:On the VX100T the mains connection on my unit is via the three connector terminal at bottom left of the photo:permanent live is the brown on the leftneutral is the black in the middleswitched live is grey on the rightAdjusting how long it continues to run after lightswitch is turned off:This is set using the blue adjustment pot towards centre top of the imageWith the arrow pointing top right (eg 1 o'clock position) it will continue to run for minimum amount of time after light is switched off, with the adjuster turned clockwise to point top left (11 o'clock position) it will run for maximum time possible after light is switched off or can be set to any position in betweenTrouble is the manual isn't clear which way around the adjuster is AND states that the minimum time is 30 secondsIn reality the minimum possible was 1 min 30 seconds which results in a bit of head-scratching during setup when 30 seconds go by and it carries on spinning and spinning and spinning...So the manual could do with being a little better but overall its a nice n cheap extractor that's quick to retrofit not overly noisy and does the job

Did have difficulty in wiring the fan as it was bottom entry as opposed to top entry of the old fan. I was however fortunate to be able to make a slight modification by cutting a small grove at the top to enable the wiring to enter from there. There was plenty of room inside to route the cable, works perfectly. By doing this modification I have possibly ruined any chance reimbursement should anything go wrong. It would have been easier if the supplier had made it clear that it was a bottom entry product.

Really simple fan. 100mm spigot (outer diameter of nozzle that goes into the wall).Nice n flush. I put double sided foam round the spigot to save screwing the fan to tiling, gave a nice tight, flush fit.Timer model, so permanent live, neutral and a live from the light when light is on.Three wires. Simple. Turn 'timer left for minimum time after turning off light, turn it right for more and more fan on time after light switched off.Pure simplicity, but I am an engineer, bit would be surprised if anyone could possibly struggle, especially as likely being used as a replacement for a previously wired old fan.Turn off the mains power to the whole house, because the lights may not include the permanent live.Be careful, don't be regretfull!Not suited for spraying water at. As far as I'm aware, none are. That being said, there is an O ring seal on the electrics front cover plate AND screw head, which is a nice touch.Brilliant white finish, looks the business.Not noisey, but also not mega powerful. Just a normal bathroom fan! Great price!

Saw this on screwfix for £25 and almost went for it before checking and finding it here for only £12 so already a bargain. The fan is generally quite cheap in feel but this isnt an issue once installed and the flush front is very neat as there is minimal plastic protruding from the wall/ceiling.Few installation tips the PCB board can be easily lifted out of place and this makes attaching the mains wires MUCH easier, the through hole is quite narrow so you'll probably have to shed the wire (especially for the timer model with 3 wires)The timer adjustment isn't clear in the instructions but just remember clockwise for longer time and anticlockwise for shorter time and this can be adjusted by hand.Finally another reviewer highlighted this fan is possibly quite hard to clean however this isn't really true as the assembly is very simple and the fan can be taken apart very easily, just need to remove it from the wall first! The if you lift the PCB you will see two screws, remove these whilst holding the fan on the otherside (so it doesn't fall) and the fan simply comes away allowing you to clean all areas where dust will no doubt accumulate in time. The reassembly can be a bit fiddly to get the holes realigned but only takes 2 or 3 attempts to get it.Overall a great value fan and hopefully it will stand the test of time!

OK for the money I suppose get what you pay for .

Very pleasewd with this item - it works well.
