About this deal
If you’re concerned anyone in your home might forget to turn on the extractor, then definitely consider getting a model that includes a humidity sensor. The sensor will detect if the bathroom’s humidity exceeds a certain level and automatically switch on the fan. How much extraction you’ll need depends on how large your bathroom is, how well it’s already ventilated, and how many people will be using it. As extractor fans don’t use a massive amount of power, it’s best to go for the most powerful one available within your budget. The Xpelair offers two speeds depending on how powerful you’d like it to be. This will vary on bathrooms size, and will have an effect on noise level. The slower the fan needs to work, the quieter it will be. The timer can range from 30 seconds – 30 minutes, again this setting will depend on how hard you need the fan to work.

Range of 100mm domestic centrifugal extract fans for wall or ceiling installations, designed to work in accordance with two different operating modes:
The Envirovent SIL100T is probably the best overall extractor fan choice for a standard bathroom. Coming in white only, it should suit most bathrooms, but leaves it slightly limited when dealing with bathrooms of different colours.

The Xpelair C4HTS is a terrific extractor fan choice, coming in at 20 dB. Advertised at 16 dB we believe it’s closer to 20 dB, which is still the quietest we’ve tested. The Envirovent SIL100T is a great all-round option and the most well-known brand. Reliable and well-built, this fan is easy to install and will work without you noticing it too much.Even if your fan doesn’t wake anyone, it might simply be an annoying sound. If you’re unwinding in the bath after a long day, the last thing you want is the drone of the extractor fan running. Depending on the schedule of other members of the household, it could also wake you up. If you have a spouse or flat mate that works late shifts and likes to shower when they get in at night, then a noisy fan running at all hours could disturb your sleep.

The first and most obvious reason is if you have young children. Babies and toddlers tend to be early risers, so you may only have time to shower or have a relaxing bath in the evenings when they’ve gone to bed. If your bathroom extractor fan is old or noisy, it could wake your baby up. A silent fan removes this worry.Two speed options are available of 15 and 21 litres per second. 15 is the lowest extractors fans should be, so you have the option of increasing to 21 if you need more power or have a bigger bathroom.
