ManroseCF100T Centrifugal Bathroom / Toilet Extractor Fan with Timer for 100mm/4" Ducting

Perfect replacement for a utility fan which had broken. All wiring and fittings were the same.Adjusting the timer will be cumbersome once installed.

The noise takes a little getting used to. It's not the dull whir of the conventional fan extractors but more a high pitched whine you get from a hoover or jet engine but at a lower decibel. I did notice it to start with but now I hardly notice it at all compared to my older and much more distracting fan. The power is also pretty impressive too. Damp in my bathroom has been an issue and this things sucks out the air in the room at an impressive rate and at a power that allows it to fling out the moist air along a long vent to the outside wall (around 15"). The installation is pretty straight forward, although I found the front guard distorted rather easily and required a bit more finessing with the screws than a more solid guard would have provided but a very minor niggle for a good quality vent at a solid price.

Excellent extractor fan - my previous fan was a cheap axial fan from a local trade merchant which didn't really work that well and was noisy/rattley. This one is the same size as that axial fan but sits far further from the wall (approximately 4 cm or so).It is much more effective however, it has a different sound (more of a 'whoosh') but it's not too loud and you can see it pulling the air through far better than before.These centrifugal fans have much more 'push' than an axial fan and are particularly well suited if extracting along ducting or against any kind of resistance.This fan clears our bathroom so much quicker than before and was easy to install so highly recommended!

Bought as a replacement for a similar Manrose extractor we were not disappointed. Good airflow and easy to install.

Bought this extractor to replace the old one that had stopped working. Fitted perfectly and looks great in our holiday home bathroom. Easily fitted no problems, seems to be good quality at a reasonable price. Very happy with our purchase so far.

I purchased this fan in September 2016. I didn't fit it for a number of months after this point, Feb 2017. Yesterday the fan failed. Unfortunate after only 16 months of intermittent running. it is not the failing of the fan that worried me the most, it is the nature of the fail. The fan, historically, would turn itself off after the programmed run on time. Yesterday the fan turned itself off as before, however after a couple of seconds there was a loud buzzing sound and the fan stuttered back to life. The fan intermittently turned off and on accompanied by the loud electrical buzzing. After a minute or so the fan began to run as if the light switch was on (mines comes on with the shower room light switch), when indeed the shower room light switch was off. The only way I could get the fan to stop was to cut the power to the shower room at the fuse box.It is fortunate that this happened when it did as I am due off on holiday soon for three weeks. I shudder to think that this fan, with an electrical fault could have been on constant run for three weeks whilst the house was empty. I have this model of fan fitted to other areas of the house. They will be removed as soon as my holiday is over and will be isolated via the fuse box when I go.I do not see this fan as old, it isn't. I see this as a dangerous early fail by this fan. Shame as it performed well up to this point. However I no longer have confidence in this item.

Does exactly what it should do, easy to install

Bought and installed the Manrose CF100T centrifugal fan in September 2015. Easy to install and worked well.Unfortunately, it failed in May 2018. It's taking ages and ages to start up (10 - 15 minutes) and the timer off facility has totally ceased. Done all the DIY maintenance things to see if I can breathe life back into it, but to no avail. Reading forums on line about the 'symptoms' and it appears the 'patient' is in its death throws!No, problem, I actually think it's quite a good product (despite it not lasting that long) and I'm going to replace it with another Manrose fan. This time though, I'm going for a Manrose 'Gold' fan because, according to the Manrose.com website, the 'Gold' range of fans have a 5 year "no quibble" guarantee.Having said all that, if you particularly want a centrifugal fan don't let this review put you off. If I could have given it 3 1/2 stars I would have. Its a good fan, I just got one that didn't last long... luck of the draw ;-)
