- Delta BreezRadiance RAD80L Exhaust Bath Fan with Light and Heater
While not as quiet as some of the others we have reviewed, this fan is still pretty quiet at 1.5 sones. The heater is louder than the fan, but it’s still pretty quiet too.
The exhaust fan comes with a built-in thermostat which is responsible for temperature regulation. This ensures your bathroom always has an optimal temperature. The thermostat measures the temperature of the room and when temperature levels reach a certain point, it triggers the fan.
The device has a construction of galvanized steel, enabling it to resist corrosion. This is highly significant, considering where it is installed: in a bathroom, the wettest and most humid room in your house.
To ensure extended reliability, it has a DC brushless motor. Brushless motors are known to be better adapted and produce less friction and heat, and thus give a much better performance than brushed motors. The DC brushless motor technology used here is energy-saving. Delta’s DC brushless motor fans do not use as much power as AC motor exhaust fans.
Pros
-Quiet operation
-Built-in thermostat
-Corrosion-resistant
-Superior motor
Cons
-Installation is a bit daunting.
