About this deal

This could be a good combo with the overrun timer; if there’s still a lot of moisture, even after the overrun, the humidity sensor will activate and complete the job. Do be aware, though, that the sensor won’t work as well if it’s dirty. Wipe it down every couple of months to ensure it works as intended. If you have access to roof space, an inline extractor fan system would be quieter and more efficient.

How much extraction you’ll need depends on how large your bathroom is, how well it’s already ventilated, and how many people will be using it. As extractor fans don’t use a massive amount of power, it’s best to go for the most powerful one available within your budget.

It’s a good idea to look for a fan with an overrun timer. This means it will continue to run for a set period after you switch it off. In most cases, you won’t stay in your bathroom long enough for it to have removed all the humid air before you switch off the extractor. As standard, the Envirovent has an extraction rate of 26 litres per second which is substantially more than the Xpelair above – this is the reason the latter is slightly quieter. The Xpelair offers two speeds depending on how powerful you’d like it to be. This will vary on bathrooms size, and will have an effect on noise level. The slower the fan needs to work, the quieter it will be. The timer can range from 30 seconds – 30 minutes, again this setting will depend on how hard you need the fan to work. Recorded at 26 dB, it’s on par with the Envirovent and louder than the Awenta, although the Awenta offers extraction of less litres per second. So, if you have a bigger bathroom or condensation is a problem, it might be better you go for a slightly louder model that has more power. The Envirovent SIL100T is a great all-round option and the most well-known brand. Reliable and well-built, this fan is easy to install and will work without you noticing it too much.

Until you have one, it’s hard to explain the difference a silent bathroom extractor fan will make. It sounds silly, but removing unnecessary noise really does make a difference, especially when trying to unwind from a hard day. If you’re concerned anyone in your home might forget to turn on the extractor, then definitely consider getting a model that includes a humidity sensor. The sensor will detect if the bathroom’s humidity exceeds a certain level and automatically switch on the fan. The LED is white and reflects off the fan well, especially if you go for a glass front. The PIR motion sensor and Timer are good, although are upgrades and don’t come with the cheapest model. Two speed options are available of 15 and 21 litres per second. 15 is the lowest extractors fans should be, so you have the option of increasing to 21 if you need more power or have a bigger bathroom. This is the cheapest fan we’ve tested, and it holds up well against the competition. Granted, it has less features than others (no timer or PIR) so if those are essential then this isn’t the fan for you.Available in seven different colours, the Awenta offers an affordable option with features you’d expect. Modern looking, this extractor fan fits in well with newly renovated rooms or extensions. Building regulations require that a domestic bathroom fan must extract a minimum of 15 litres per second. However, almost all extractors on the market exceed this and average 21-25 litres per second. There are even some models that go as high as 68 litres per second. This model comes in four variations, each with different extras like a Timer, Pull Cord and Humidistat. The variation with a Timer and Humidistat is the most expensive option, but one well worth looking into. Even if your fan doesn’t wake anyone, it might simply be an annoying sound. If you’re unwinding in the bath after a long day, the last thing you want is the drone of the extractor fan running.
