Will comply with Building Regulation Part F if installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and by a competent person. The XPelair VX100 does scrape a pass in our Part F flow rate test, but there are definitely better and more powerful fans out there for the same money. We’d recommend steering clear of this. The VX100 is the entry-level model in XPelair’s range. Xpelair are one of the more well-known extractor fan brands, and come highly recommended by electricians on some of the forums and social media spaces.

The VX100 is their budget model, and this is reflected in the design. It’s a pretty chunky, unattractive box – you’d only want to install this one somewhere it wouldn’t be noticeable. It’s also pretty noisy.
