## Description

Panasonic designs DC ceiling exhaust fans that not only produce maximum airflow, but also remove air impurities from your home while operating at whisper-quiet audio levels. This Panasonic FV-0511VQ1 WhisperCeiling DC bathroom fan comes from a line of time-tested and customer approved quiet, powerful and energy efficient ventilation fans. This precision spot ventilation solution improves IAQ by removing moist, polluted air from your bathroom, laundry room, sun room, basement or garage. When Panasonic FV-0511VQ1 WhisperCeiling DC Fan senses static pressure, its speed is automatically increased to ensure optimal CFM output. This feature provides peace of mind, as the installer doesn’t have to worry about compromising the fan’s performance, even with a complicated duct run. The built-in Pick-A-Flow speed selector provides the unique ability to select your desired airflow (50-80-110 CFM) with the flip of a switch. The Flex-Z Fast installation bracket with articulating joints is ideal for positioning the fan exactly where you want it, in old or new construction. An integrated dual 4-inch or 6-inch duct adapter gives greater flexibility in duct layout and design. Panasonic ventilation fans are Energy Star certified. Panasonic fans use less energy, move larger volumes of air and run cooler, which means they last longer. The motors are equipped with a thermal-cutoff fuse, greatly reducing the likelihood of overheating and motor failure. Achieve quality air and energy efficiency with whisper-quiet sound levels for your spaces with Panasonic FV-0511VQ1 WhisperCeiling DC Fan.FeaturesFlex-Z Fast bracket provides flexible, fast and trouble-free installation, even from below the ceilingLighted models incorporate one long-life, 10W dimmable LED light chip panel with <1W LED night light for warm, energy efficient illuminationElegant grille design compliments the aesthetics of any bathroom

Review: This Panasonic exhaust fan continues the brand’s well-known quiet performance — it runs smoothly with very low noise, which is exactly what I was looking for. The three adjustable airflow settings are a great feature and make it easy to choose the right ventilation level for different situations. For installation, I went up into the attic to get everything properly set up, and the result was excellent. The fan works efficiently, feels solidly built, and delivers consistent airflow. Overall, a reliable and high-quality exhaust fan that I’m very satisfied with. Highly recommended!
Review: Works well and very quiet, but: 1) the exhaust port is only 4", but the cowling is compatible with 6" duct work. So even if you use 6" ducts, there's still a 4" constriction in the airflow. 2) the motor is in a box that connects to a frame. Only the box can be inserted from below. The frame must still be installed from the attic. That's where the power and ducts are connected. So you'll still need to crawl around up there to install this. But, I still gave this fan 5 stars. I'm quite happy with it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this fan have a humidity sensor?**
A: No, it doesn't come with one.

**Q: can this fan fun continuously and be set to say a range of 16 to 50 cfm continuous until the the switch is turn on then bumps up to over 50cfm ?**
A: No

**Q: Does panasonic have something for 24/7 operation to vent a closet? Like a trickle exhaust kind of thing, 10cfm is prob all I need.**
A: I have not seen a fan that has an automatic on and off but they do sell a programmable switch that is micro that you can program to turn on as many times as you want as long as you want and run whenever you want and the most of the Panasonic fans have a CFM adjustment where you can turn them down to 30 or 40 CFM to 75 to 150

**Q: Does this model would fit in a fv 11vq3 can??**
A: Not sure. Opening in ceiling is cut to 10 7/8 X 10 7/8".  Fan was bigger than my old Nutone and also taller. Installer had to move it over to avoid electrical wires which were above the old fan. It does work really well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***B on 20 October 2020*

This thing is relatively expensive for an exhaust fan so you're probably checking reviews to see if it's worth it. From my perspective it definitely is if you want a fan that does a great job drawing out shower moisture and toilet fumes and does so quietly; so quietly that sometimes it's difficult to know when it's running. I bought this model because my cheap-o builder spared all expense and put in a 3" duct. That duct limits the airflow so that the even cheaper fan that they put in could not keep up with the steam from my wife's hot showers so the mirrors fogged up all the time. I was concerned that even with a better fan the 3" duct would still keep the air flow down and it might even make a quiet fan noisy due to the restriction, but my concerns were alleviated with this new fan. I set it on the lowest of the two speeds and it works great in our 8'x9' bathroom! The speed switch is readily accessible if I want to test the higher speed later, but so far I have no need to do so. Installation was not simple, but it was not difficult either. I'm just a homeowner who does most of the repairs and updates to the house, but I'm no professional, yet I was able to get this installed and working within a couple of hours. Bottom line, if you have the coin to spare, you'll be happy with this fan.
