About this deal

In a survey carried out by ventilation specialist Vent-Axia, 40% of respondents said that they or their children had been woken in the night by a noisy bathroom fan. Even the cheapest fans are usually very quiet out of the box, but as the motor bearings start to wear – typically after about two years with low-end models – the blades can start to oscillate against the main housing, producing an annoying rattle in the process. A higher-quality fan should last longer, but if you value quietness then at some point you’ll probably need to repair or replace your fan. How do you install a bathroom extractor fan? If you don’t already have a fan, you’ll need to get in a qualified builder to make the hole and install the wiring. Be aware that there are regulations governing where your fan can be located: if you want to put a fan in Zone 1 (the area within a shower or 2.25m above a bath) or Zone 2 (60cm from Zone 1), it must be a low-voltage SELV fan with a transformer, or an AC-powered model that’s IPX5-certified. Most of our recommendations below are intended for use outside of Zone 2, but the layout of your bathroom may dictate your options. Finally, if you think you (or anyone else in the house) will forget to turn the fan on, consider a model with a humidity sensor. This automatically activates the fan when the level of moisture in the air exceeds a certain threshold. This sensor may need occasional cleaning, though, or the accumulation of dust or grime will hinder its effectiveness. What about noise? If your bathroom doesn’t have a window – or if you like your showers really hot and steamy – you might alternatively consider the EnviroVent Cyclone 7, a high-end model that switches on automatically as soon as it detects moisture in the room. But if you have an average-sized bathroom, the Silent 100T does a brilliant job at a very reasonable price.

Most domestic bathroom extractors attach to a 100mm hole in the outside wall. If you’re replacing a standard-sized extractor fan, this hole will already be present and you should be able to install the new one yourself. Before you remove the old fan, it’s a good idea to take a photo of its wiring for later reference – and make absolutely sure you shut off the mains power before you take the old one’s front housing off. Your cooker hood is one of the most functional appliances in your kitchen. Still, it often gets overlooked when it comes to making style choices. While other design ideas, like your kitchen cupboards, worktops, and sink, have a significant impact on your overall finish, so too does the cooker hood you select. If family members keep forgetting to switch on the extractor when taking a shower, a humidistat fan such as the C4HTS is the perfect solution. Its built-in humidity sensor automatically turns on the fan when the level of moisture in the air hits a preset level (between 65% and 85%), and remains on for a set length of time, between 30 seconds and 30 minutes. It’s tastefully designed, with a white plastic cover on the front that hides the otherwise ugly housing, and the built-in overrun timer keeps the fan running for between five and 30 minutes after switching it off. A clever low-power fan that’ll unobtrusively keep your bathroom fresh.A reverse-flow shutter, meanwhile, keeps outside draughts at bay; this can flap against the outside wall in windy conditions, but overall the QF100TX5 is an effective fan that’s ideal for tight budgets. How to choose the best bathroom extractor fan for you What sort of features should I look for in an extractor fan? To help you, here’s our guide to choosing the perfect fan, plus our recommendations for high-quality extractors that are affordable, easy to fit and effective at drawing out stale air.

The iCON 30 is highly effective too, pumping through a huge 32l/sec of air. However, it does come with a couple of caveats: if you want an overrun timer, pull-cord or humidity sensor, you’ll need to splash out on an additional control module. It’s also quite a bit louder than most standard fans, and it may require some chipping away of your stonework to get it to fit properly. Still, it’s an amazing performer, and comes in a choice of silver, anthracite and sandstone finishes. The PureAir Sense comes with two spigots (or sleeves): one for standard 100mm installation and another for larger 125mm portals. The larger spigot is the one to fit if you want to benefit from its excellent 39l per second flow rate. That said, its standard 32l per second flow rate is still better than most and easily good enough for the majority of bathroom installations. There aren't many silver extractor fans on the market so it's great that the one that is, is a really good one! The EnviroventSIL100ST delivers on every front: It's really powerful - delivering 95m3/hr air flow, virtually silent - operating at just 25dB(A) and energy efficient - consuming just 8w! ..and on top of all that it looks great in a satin chrome finish.Our images show the satin silver /chrome effect as it appears in different lights from varying angles. Choose a stylish kitchen hood to take pride of place above your cooker. Your kitchen extractor fan is responsible for removing smoke and smells from your home, but that doesn’t mean it can’t look great too!

Blow off some steam, banish damp and wave goodbye to condensation with our favourite bathroom extractor fans for every budget

The precise duration of the overrun is normally configured during installation, with most fans offering a range between 30 seconds and 30 minutes. You might as well tend towards the latter end of the scale as the cost is very low: on average, a fan like this uses around 8W. Vent-Axia has really pushed the boat out with this brand-new model. Aside from shifting up to 39l of damp air per second, this bathroom extractor comes crammed with more sensor tech than any other model on the market. In fact, it has a sensor for everything, even odour. Yes, that’s right, when this clever little air mover detects a nasty smell, it either switches itself on or, if already running, speeds up the fan, returning the bathroom to its original sweet-smelling scent in a thrice. The VASF100T’s two-speed motor gives you options. Set it to the lower speed when installing and it’ll pump out 15l of air per second at a near-silent 14dB – or, if you need more thorough ventilation, you can select full speed for throughput of 21l per second (although the volume goes up to a fairly audible 26dB). It’s energy-efficient too, with a motor that’s rated at just 7W, so you can set the overrun timer to the maximum 20 minutes and your electricity meter will hardly notice. And since it’s IPX5-compliant, you can install it in Zone 1 if you wish.
