It’s tastefully designed, with a white plastic cover on the front that hides the otherwise ugly housing, and the built-in overrun timer keeps the fan running for between five and 30 minutes after switching it off. A clever low-power fan that’ll unobtrusively keep your bathroom fresh.

If you don’t already have a fan, you’ll need to get in a qualified builder to make the hole and install the wiring. Be aware that there are regulations governing where your fan can be located: if you want to put a fan in Zone 1 (the area within a shower or 2.25m above a bath) or Zone 2 (60cm from Zone 1), it must be a low-voltage SELV fan with a transformer, or an AC-powered model that’s IPX5-certified. Most of our recommendations below are intended for use outside of Zone 2, but the layout of your bathroom may dictate your options. The precise duration of the overrun is normally configured during installation, with most fans offering a range between 30 seconds and 30 minutes. You might as well tend towards the latter end of the scale as the cost is very low: on average, a fan like this uses around 8W. The level of humidity for the bathroom can be chosen from between 60 and 90% RH. The extract fan will continue to work long enough to reach the selected level.Always isolate power first. The cover can be removed by firstly pushing the small reseeded retaining point on one of the edges of the extractor fan, then slowly unclipping the rest of the cover with a small flat screw driver.

The SILENT MV 160/100 is a domestic, axial in-line fan, designed for ducted systems. Incorporating the same patented silent technology, the low profile design of the in-line model provides the most effective solution for installers in areas where space is restricted, such as false ceilings. The SILENT in-line fan can be connected to any point on the ventilation duct, without loss of performance. When installing the fan you can also choose between two fan speeds. If your bathroom has a decent-sized window, you can take advantage of the whisper-quiet 15l/sec setting, while the louder 21l/sec setting is suitable for steamier bathrooms. Extractor fans are a necessary part of modern day life. As we construct or refurbish our homes in-line with stringent building regulations to become more energy efficient by adding measures such as cavity wall insulation, loft insulation and double glazing, we effectively‘seal –up’ our homes and by doing so create poor ventilation, which can lead to condensation and mould problems. The iCON 30 is highly effective too, pumping through a huge 32l/sec of air. However, it does come with a couple of caveats: if you want an overrun timer, pull-cord or humidity sensor, you’ll need to splash out on an additional control module. It’s also quite a bit louder than most standard fans, and it may require some chipping away of your stonework to get it to fit properly. Still, it’s an amazing performer, and comes in a choice of silver, anthracite and sandstone finishes. The best bathroom extractor fans you can buy in 2023 1.
