Review: Motion sensor works the way I wanted - Fan installed in a roughly 5x8 hall bath. Pleased that walking down the hallway doesn't trigger the fan, but it senses motion the second I walk into the bathroom. Extremely quiet-you can barely tell when it turns on, but it vents the room nicely after a shower.
Review: Very quiet. Make sure you have the space! - I bought this thinking "retrofit" meant that I could just drop it in where my old (super) noisy fan was. I found out this is slightly bigger, which was a problem because the ceiling joists are unusually close where the original fan was installed. I eventually got it installed, and the difference in noise levels is like night and day! Really nice. I have to commend @WiggleWorm's review, however, because it was a step-by-step guide to disabling the motion sensor. While the motion sensor was totally effective at starting the fan, it shuts off too quickly (for our use at least). @WiggleWorm's guide couldn't have been easier to follow.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this rated for damp locations?  In other words, can i install it in an enclosed 15 sq ft shower stall?**
A: This is rated, per the manual, for tub and shower enclosures, BUT only if on a GFCI circuit. So the electric line that this gets installed on, as to have a GFCI outlet/switch somewhere on the line. An example would be if you tap into the usual GFCI outlet near a bathroom sink to install this unit.

**Q: Does the fv-08-11vfm5 have a light?**
A: No. The Panasonic FV-0510VSL1 does. I think they are basically the same fan, one with a light and one without.

**Q: Can the motion sensor be disabled? And only use with on/off switch?**
A: We use ours with the off/on switch.

**Q: Dimensions of cutout for my existing fan is 7" x 7". will the panasonic fv-08-11vfm5 whisperfitez fan with motion sensor fit?**
A: Nope. Going to have to make it bigger I believe. I did. Pretty easy though.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Motion sensor works the way I wanted

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These fans have been doing great. The installation instructions weren't the greatest
*by L***E on December 27, 2016*

Installed two of these to replace old noisy fans. These fans have been doing great. The installation instructions weren't the greatest, but I figured out how to install them. Somehow I initially missed that you took off the exhaust/electrial box cover off to use the mounting bracket. I installed these from the attic too(if that helps people). Another tip is watch out for causing any obstructions. I read if the fan detects an obstruction, it will up the fan speed to full blast. I used a 4 inch damper, and that caused it to speed up, making it noisier. I knew it did this, but didn't think the 4inch damper would cause it to happen. In my install, it opened to 6 inch pipe, so I got a 6 inch damper(get Aldes best reviews I saw, and bought 2 of them) and that reduced any "obstructions" that the fan would encounter. Even on the low setting(80cfm) with 12 feet of pipe, it opened the dampers just fine. Another reason I got this was the motion sensor. It will run for 20 minutes, so reduced the need for a timer, and will work if I ever end up renting out my house.
