Hi,

B&Q, Wickes etc sell not to pretty looking shower fan/lights. They all about
£40 mark.
Vent Axia does one for about £100. It looks better but is it really 100%
better?
Could you recommend other manufacturers or are they all this same?

Thanks

Yes. Vent Axia are much better fans than certainly of the DIY store
products.

I had a cheap one in my cloakroom that came with the house and lasted
three years or so. This was replaced with a DIY store one that also
lasted three years. I now have a Vent Axia that has been there for
ten years and is still going well and running quietly.

The failure mode on the cheap ones seems to be bearing wear which
causes them to become noisy.
