and ideas? the panasonic lines seem good. very quiet and efficient, but
i want a METAL intake grill.
man there sure are lots of crappy bulbous cheap looking plastic grills!
one is for the bathroom so i figure 80 cfm and less then 1 sone. the
other fans is for a larger room so about 40 cfm and around 2 sones.

Bathrooms are damp. Metal grills are steel and rust readily (ugly!). Be
happy with the plastic and by next year you won't even notice it.
IIRC, Consumer Reports had an article on range hoods that might have
some clues as to which manufacturers are building the good stuff. Good
luck.

haha. well maybe you are right about me forgetting in a year. but we do
have a broan fan in our other bathroom. the grill is metal, but painted
so maybe its protected. it looks spotless after almost 2 years. trouble
is, its a bit too loud and i can't seem to find the model anyway.

as far as consumer reports go...i'm not sure i trust them. something
about how long they're been around and how large they are makes me
think they've been gotten to. :D.

Ah...you'd trust the integrity of complete unknowns on the Internet
over the most widely respected consumer testing agency in the world?

Suggest you google on "Risk Management." ;-)

Also suggest you worry more about cfm,s as they are what tells you it
will dry out the room fast or slow put up with the noise you don,t live
in the can but mold doe.s. Squirrel cage is the best to get and most
efficeint at moving air . Good Luck as a Contrctor the advise on here
is for the most part good and most know what they are talking about,
but always trust your gut
