Does anyone have any experience with Air King ventilation fans (www.airkinglimited.com/USPages)? I am considering replacing my existing bathroom and would like to find a quality product. Any information related to Air King, Nutone, or Panasonic would be appreciated. Thanks

Panasonic are quiet.
You can not hear the smaller 60 to 90CFM fans running. The larger ones are still quiet.
The big ones, 300+ CFM do make noise, but they'll suck the water out of the toilet too.

You'll need to put a lited switch in when you use panasonics. You won't know they're on.
Are you can make them automatic.
Either a humistat that controls it directly (I think some have one built in).
Or replace the light switch with one that has a timer that leaves the fan on for a period of time after the light is turned off.
You can get those from http://www.efi.org
