Questions & Answers

The current opening is 9x9. Can it be installed without drywall repair?
ByAug 6, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Thank you for your question, Dave. A 9" x 9" ceiling opening is typically a good fit for this model. The fan housing is smaller than the opening, and the 9.5" x 9.5" grille is designed to cover the surrounding area, so drywall repairs are often not needed. We recommend verifying your framing, ductwork, and wiring before installation to ensure compatibility.

                Not as great as advertised
                Professionally installed and Not as quiet as stated. Using a dimmer on separate dimmer switch by Leviton unfortunately the light flickers.

                  Absolute junk
                  Please don't buy this fan light combo. Got my license electrician to install this and it's not worth it. It does not move any air 30 minutes after a shower. Also look at the damper it does not fully seed all the way. And yes Panasonic it's installed correctly with brand new ductwork and still not working correctly.

                    Whisper mighty LED pic a flow
                    Just finished installing the whisper mighty LED. Easy peasy install. It has multiple anchor points so either side or flange anchor. I definitely upgraded the cfm air flow in my master bath. The light is bright. Very bright. The drop down vent cover is pretty and looks like it just belings in my bathroom. I am 100 percent satisfied with this product. All pros and zero cons.

                    Very quiet and efficient
                    This fan sucks literally. But not in a negative way plus it’s super quiet and does a great job of ventilating the area. The only thing I can recommend is to properly run your ducting for the fan. The package comes with almost everything you need. It is a great value for For the price. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade or add an exhaust fan to their bathroom installation was super easy even came with a template as pictured.

                    Easy to install - nice light feature
                    We got this fan to replace our laundry room fan. Our old fan was noisy and only worked half the time. This fan was very simple to install. We were finished in about 20 minutes. It fit exactly into the spot where we removed our old fan. It is quiet and has good, nice air flow. It also has a wonderful light feature, which i really like. It is not too glaring or harsh, more of a soft lighting, yet bright enough to light around the washer/dryer space.

                    Panasonic exhaust fan with LED light
                    I ordered this exhaust fan to replace an outdated and non functioning large round fan with light. It is significantly smaller and much more attractive. It has a switch inside that allows you to select one of the two fan speeds (70 or 90 CFM) based on your room size. It also has an easy electrical plug connector. I will have to wire directly to the unit, and then simply plug the grill cover with light to the installed fan. Installation for me is going to take some time. The metal housing in my ceiling matches the size of this Panasonic, however the 4” duct is on the left side of this fan. My existing duct is on the right. I will have to find some sort of adapter to make it work in my case. I will also have to repair my drywall, but I knew that and think it’s definitely worth it. I love that this unit has LED lights in the grill cover and even has a low 1-watt nightlight feature! I am excited to get it in and running.

                    Quiet, Great Airflow, Nice Bright Light
                    If you're tired of the cheap, low flow, fans from your builder - this is the right answer. I've used Panasonic bath fans for many years because 1) you get spectacular air flow 2) it's overall one of the quietest fans and 3) reasonably priced. That being said, super happy with this new fan and happy to get rid of another cheap builder model. Self admittedly, this gave me a few additional challenges to install, but by no fault of the product more just based on how the house was built. However, it's worth noting that these fans do use 4" duct and many cheaper models use 3" - so an adapter may be in order to make it work, as was required with mine. Also, i did not have a separate light switch, so i wired mine to have the light come on when the fan is on. Overall very pleased. Great airflow and just enough noise so that you know it's working. I installed in our bathroom that has a much smaller shower room to eliminate the possibility of moisture damage.

                    Bathroom fan
                    I like that this bathroom fan has a light. The grill is clean and it makes the bathroom brighter. The fan is strong enough for me small bathroom. The installation was easy enough for a handyman to install. I like Panasonic brand an I have installed many bath fans. I would recommend this bath fan for DIYers it's not that hard to install. The fan is quiet enough.
