Xpelair 93224AW 4-Inch Standard Bathroom Ventilation Wall/Ceiling Extractor Fan - White

Being ever so slightly undersized versus rival units makes it a breeze to use as a replacement for an existing extractor that's had its day The basic VX100 version just needs a switched live and a neutral The switched live is usually from the room light switch The VX100T timer version needs a permanent live as well as the neutral and the switched live to operate Once the room light has been switched on the extractor will kick in from the switched live feed It'll run from this until the switched live coming from the room light switch is turned back off, and then: Stop immediately if its the basic VX100 or if its the VX100T continue to run from the permanent live for a preset amount of time Wiring up the timer version: On the VX100T the mains connection on my unit is via the three connector terminal at bottom left of the photo: permanent live is the brown on the left neutral is the black in the middle switched live is grey on the right Adjusting how long it continues to run after lightswitch is turned off: This is set using the blue adjustment pot towards centre top of the image With the arrow pointing top right (eg 1 o'clock position) it will continue to run for minimum amount of time after light is switched off, with the adjuster turned clockwise to point top left (11 o'clock position) it will run for maximum time possible after light is switched off or can be set to any position in between Trouble is the manual isn't clear which way around the adjuster is AND states that the minimum time is 30 seconds In reality the minimum possible was 1 min 30 seconds which results in a bit of head-scratching during setup when 30 seconds go by and it carries on spinning and spinning and spinning... So the manual could do with being a little better but overall its a nice n cheap extractor that's quick to retrofit not overly noisy and does the job

Easy to fit and does the job

Bought this to replace a 26-year-old extractor which had gone yellow with age, and was letting down the look of my recently redecorated bathroom. I was surprised at how cheap this was (just over £10 for the standard unit); it is a lot sleeker and better looking than the one it replaced. The fan is fairly quiet when first turned on; after a few minutes it does get a little louder (or perhaps this is a characteristic of mine). However, this doesn’t bother me as it is no louder than the unit it replaced. I guess an assessment of the noise is subjective, depending on what it is being compared to. Fitting was very straightforward with the exception of one major oversight. On the basic model, the terminals in the choc block are not labelled as L and N; the instruction manual does not make it clear either. To air on the side of caution I telephoned the manufacturer (Xpelair is a subsidiary of Glen Dimplex, the telephone number is within the packaging). They advised me that the terminals should have been labelled (?!), and that the Live feed is the left hand/top terminal, the neutral is the right/bottom one. I have taken a photo and labelled it up to assist future customers. This is a huge oversight on an otherwise great product; I imagine that wiring it up incorrectly would probably damage the unit. Anyway, having installed the unit I am very impressed. This was not an expensive product - I spent more on two coffees and a slice of cake the other day - however, on the other hand, it is a very simple product consisting of a basic electric motor and some plastic blades! So would I expect to pay much more? Probably not! I don’t expect this to last forever, however as things currently stand I am pleased with it. It looks fantastic and is much more aesthetically pleasing than the older, bulkier models. Does what it says on the tin; would recommend. Will come back to this review in 3-4 months and report on whether it is still working.

Saw this on screwfix for £25 and almost went for it before checking and finding it here for only £12 so already a bargain. The fan is generally quite cheap in feel but this isnt an issue once installed and the flush front is very neat as there is minimal plastic protruding from the wall/ceiling. Few installation tips the PCB board can be easily lifted out of place and this makes attaching the mains wires MUCH easier, the through hole is quite narrow so you'll probably have to shed the wire (especially for the timer model with 3 wires) The timer adjustment isn't clear in the instructions but just remember clockwise for longer time and anticlockwise for shorter time and this can be adjusted by hand. Finally another reviewer highlighted this fan is possibly quite hard to clean however this isn't really true as the assembly is very simple and the fan can be taken apart very easily, just need to remove it from the wall first! The if you lift the PCB you will see two screws, remove these whilst holding the fan on the otherside (so it doesn't fall) and the fan simply comes away allowing you to clean all areas where dust will no doubt accumulate in time. The reassembly can be a bit fiddly to get the holes realigned but only takes 2 or 3 attempts to get it. Overall a great value fan and hopefully it will stand the test of time!

j'ai reçu l'extracteur d'air dans les délais mais hélas, la qualité n'est pas au rendez-vous. Complètement cassé a l'intérieure, il est complètement inutilisable.

Acquistata dopo che la quarta ventola da 10 cm. in 16 anni ha smesso di funzionare, (tutte 4 abbastanza rumorose) in media una ventola ogni 4 anni. Poco importa la durata se molto sfruttate in media 7/8 ore nelle 24 ore giornalieri, ma l'importanza è data dall'estrazione e rumorosità data dalla ventolina, e devo dire che questa dopo le precedenti 4 avute e dopo i miei dubbi nel decidere tra le varie marche in vendita, che finalmente con la mia perplessità visto il basso costo pagato per l'acquisto, (direi anche ridicolo spedizione compresa amazon) ho trovato in questa ventola finalmente una rumorosità bassissima quasi silenziosa e una buona estrazione d'aria in poco spessore e una bella estetica, compresa di timer regolabile. Timer automatico che all'accensione della luce la ventolina parte e gira dopo circa 6 /10 secondi e non subito, (per evitare se uno sbaglia pulsante) e spegnimento regolabile fino a una durata di pochi minuti a mezzora. Non devo fare pubblicità a nessuno ma questa ventolina merita una recensione positiva perchè veramente un ottimo prodotto a buon prezzo. Spedizione e imballaggio velocissimo grazie Amazon se la mia recensione è stata utile votala grazie.

Ventola gradevole sotto il profilo estetico, compatta e dalla rumorosità molto contenuta.Il cablaggio elettrico è molto semplice da fare. Uniche mancanze che faccio osservare sono l'assenza della 'valvola' di non ritorno sul canotto di uscita e il libretto di istruzioni privo della lingua italiana.Un prodotto venduto in Italia deve avere, per correttezza, anche il manuale in Italiano!!

Ventola rumorosa, di facile montaggio.

Il prodotto è facilissimo da installare e funziona bene non eccessivamente rumoroso appare come in foto la plastica sembra buona
