Xpelair DX100T 4" (100mm) Bathroom Extractor Fan with Window or Wall Kit Timer Delay Operation

Bought to replace a fan our builders fitted a couple of years ago which died last week. The old fan made a racket, so much so that we could hear it all over the house. I was 'getting around' to fitting a new (hopefully quieter) fab, but it never made it to the top of my list. So when the old fan died, I was quite pleased. Fitting was a doddle. Our builders had siliconed the last one to the tile wall, it never fell off, so I decided to do the same with this one. That meant i didn't have to drill holes. I used the same wires as the builder had used (making a note of which colours went to which terminals). When I switched it on, was very happy. Its so much quieter. Its not silent, but i cant hear it from the landing when the bathroom door is closed - so that's good enough for me. If you're looking for silence, and you're starting from scratch, you might want to consider an inline fan. For me that wasn't practical as the hole and wiring was already there. If you're looking to simply replace an existing fan, you cant go wrong with this one.

So my fan broke in my bathroom and I was annoyed I would probably have to pay a lot of money to get it fixed. However, I looked on amazon and I found the exact same fan and a fraction of the price. When it arrived I was expecting a knock off box but instead it was the real item with all the additions provided. In the box you get the plastic cylinder to connect to the outside, the sticky backed fabric that seals around the fan, all the pieces you need to fix it, including screws. Once fitted it works perfectly, not very silent, but I never leave it on when I'm going to bed so this never bothers me. I live in a bathroom that does not have a window, so I leave this fan on for hours at a time after I shower to remove the steam. It does this perfectly with no malfunctions even after being on for hours. Overall great product, great price when I bought it, definitely recommend buying.

Replacement for an xpelair fan which had been in a window for 40 years .fitted quite well with minor adjustments. Had to use the old vent as the one on the new one is for a double glazed window and mine was single glazed

Good fan and easy to fit.. recommend xpelair, it's quality brand you can trust.

I got this to replace a DX100 that had died. Just a direct swap. Arrived quickly, but box not sealed, which I was wary about, but all the bits were inside. After fitting, worked straight away. Ensure you follow electrical instructions to avoid injury.

Great price and delivery

Purchased for use as a replacement window fan, but NOT SUITABLE AS A REPLACEMENT IN A 4” APERTURE. Because of the fixing arrangements an aperture larger than 4” is required. I had the option of returning the fan, fitting a new pane with the larger aperture, but decided to carefully grind four gaps to accommodate the screws and locating lugs out of the circumference of the aperture using a stone on a Dremmel type drill - took about 2 hours. As a window fan it requires the fan spigot to be cut back, also a second person on the outside to hold the flap fitting while inserting the screws from the inside. Not very convenient if you are in a tenth floor flat. Once installed and switched on without the inner cover, the fan blade was jammed - sorted by relaxing one of the fixing screws. After clipping on the cover, the fan was jammed again - sorted by relaxing both fixing screws. Now running quietly. This is low cost fan kit is supplied for wall, ceiling or window mounting. Other than the widow aperture problem above, that perhaps should be made clear, it is good value.

I'm giving 5 stars based on the fact I've had it a month and so far so good, I will change this star rating if anything un-towards happens...However...I have not used it for the said purposes (the basic model with the fixing kit for bathroom extraction)...instead I have used it for extracting warm/hot air from my oven/hob to stop my hob from shutting down for safety reasons..I recently purchased an Induction hob and the heat from the oven when both on, sometimes causes my hob to shut down for safety reasons and this has done the trick perfectly...and for £20 quid it's a bargain...I fitted a 3 pin plug to turn it on and off when needed and I already had an sds drill to fit the extraction piping which was pretty straight forward for your more experienced DIY'r...The fan itself seems pretty well made,albeit it basic and care must be taken when tightening the screws to fit to the wall...you don't want to crack the casing as I feel some might have done..You get all the fittings required for fitting through a wall or a window and some rubber sealing which should suffice...Recommended...Cheers
