Default Recommendation for Extractor Fans (ie reliability and noise?)

Hi

I have the need for 2 x Extractor fans.

Bathroom

12ft x 6ft (10ft ceiling) - Need to operator via light switch and stay
on timer 20mins after etc

Kitchen (fairly big)

15ft x 12ft (10ft ceiling) - Need to operator from light switch (as
above) - but to also be able to be manually overidden via pullcord etc
(as we often leave the kitchen light on for security so dont want the
fan on all the time when we are not in!)

Ive looked at various websites and I think I need a 4inch or maybe
6inch for the bathroom and at least a 9 inch for the Kitchen....

Both will be directly vented through the wall to outside.

Im ask the 'sparkies' when they come to quote, but I wouldnt mind
knowing a bit about the tried/tested brands in case I end up with a
unknown brand from the back of the van!

Has anyone advice/experience with the branded versions, are any better
than others??

Any other advice of purchasing (inc cheap places in the UK/online!) -
much appreciated


I got a Vent axia 'Centrif 250' 100mm fan for my kitchen in my
previous house.
Noisy, but powerful. I was selling the place, otherwise I'd have been
really disappointed in the level of noise from the thing.
