Panasonic FV-11VFL2 WhisperFit-Lite Low Profile Ceiling Mounted Ventilation Fan - Fan/Light/Night-Li Review

I bought this fan as a retrofit for a bathroom fan that died.The installation experience was painful at best.I'm not a professional electrician, but I have plenty of experience with this kind of project. Home Depot fans are significantly easier to install.I've installed the Panasonic and a few Nutones and I can say that I'll probably just buy a Nutone for the next time I need to do this job.

Pros:
*Moves A LOT of air!
*Uses fluorescent lights.
*Quieter than the builders special that I replaced.
*Great price compared to retail.
* Arrived very quickly. I'd buy from this Amazon retailer again.

Cons:
*The supplied mounting rails are flimsy.I had to build up a wooden frame to hold the fan body.
*Instruction set is poorly written.You will pretty much have to guess.
*Unnecessarily complex installation. It took me more hours than I care to admit to install this thing.
*The electrical junction box is not big enough to contain all the wires after it gets wired up.If you plan to install this in your attic you will find it very awkward to wire this thing up because the angle at which you will have to work while balancing yourself on joists will kill your back and neck.Also, half the body of the junction box will be obscured from your vision.
*Even though I created a very secure base to connect the fan body to, I will still need to attach some kind of sound dampening to kill some minor resonation of the body.
