Can the 80cfm fan clear the humidity from a small (6*12) bathroom with a shower? I was advised by a plumber to get a 110cfm fan because of the shower.

The 80 is a great fan. It pulls a lot of air very quietly, but for the difference in price I would go with 110 an error on having more CFMs with the shower.

I would also recommend the larger fan. I installed the 110cfm fan in our 10 x 12 bath and if works great.

It works fine in our bathroom, but we live in a low humidity state. we put it on a timer so we can leave it on to clear out the humidity and don'e forget to turn it off. A pain to install if you are replacing... VERY quiet!

I would go with the 110. The cost difference is fairly insignificant so I always try to go a little larger than the calculation calls for. These are great fans. I've bought quite a few for other people and have 2 in my house. Hope this helps.

I have this fan in a smaller bathroom (6x9) and it is fine. For a 6x12, you probably would prefer the results of the 110cfm fan. Also, much of the fan's efficiency depends on the length and turns of your ventilation exhaust. When in doubt, get the higher capacity.

I do not think the fan can remove all the moisture in an instant. We leave the fan on for at least an hour after showering.

The fan shuts off immediately. It is a regular bathroom fan. I have a 70 cfm, of this model installed, and it shuts down immediately.

Depends on where you live.We live in Pittsburgh where it is pretty humid. It still works, but it needs an intake, so you have to have a window or something open. You can adjust the waterflow with a knob.More humidity=lower waterflow so you do not increase humidity of room. We put a dehumidifier behind it near the intake too sometimes. The fan is powerful, the machine itself is lightweight and on wheels.

depends on how fast you want the air cleared. Search online for bath fan calculators for more info. typically something like this 80 cfm fan should be good for a smaller bathroom around 6x10 or so.

If the size of your room is large enough and you are using it for air circulation as in any other room and not for removing steam and moisture from your shower and bath, then i would say yes

An electrician mounted mine mid-way in a 3'x6' shower alcove. The fan is sealed waterproof unit on a GFIC circuit. Haven't used the shower yet because it's not plumbed yet. The fan is very quiet.

Yes it will be big enough to humidify your room, but as we are all finding you won't be able to set the amount of water that you can on others. You can choose how strong the fan goes and you can even set that you don't want the unit running all night, just to the amount that is apparently pre-set in the unit which is about 50-55.

I am using this exhaust fan in a 42 sq ft bathroom with 8 ft high ceilings. When my wife takes a shower, it is clearly good enough. When my teenage daughter takes a shower, not so much. But, I don't think there is any exhaust fan that would keep up with the hot-hot and long-long showers that my teenage daughter takes.Perhaps key to this exhaust fan being enough: I have it hooked up to a time so that I can have the fan running for x minutes after I leave the bathroom. To do that, I bought this item from http://amazon.com, too: Leviton LTB30-1LZ Decora 1800W Incandescent/20A Resistive-Inductive 1HP Preset 5-10-15-30 Minute Countdown Timer Switch I am using this exhaust fan in a 42 sq ft bathroom with 8 ft high ceilings.

The fan will exhaust the air in the bathroom in 3.5 min., assuming you have an 8' ceiling (5x7x8/80cfm = 3.5min) Very quiet and very adequate. Get a digital timer too.

from what i know about the toilet it would be fine in the rv and the fan is vented outside,with a small fan like the size of one from a laptop computer, the poo department is closed with a handle so it shouldnt suck the moisture in from the shower stall.

Yes you can adjust it, however it does not seem to allow me to trigger for high humidity when the shower is on.

The fan is fairly powerful, I would think in a bathroom it would be quite sufficient.I used it continuously for a little over a year, then it died, out of warranty however.

Need a humidistat for the <50% outside part. Found these on Amazon:IMAGE® 110V Digital Air Humidity Control Controller WH8040 Range 1%~99% RH HM-40 Type It requires 120 vac power Household power, and its contacts can only handle 5 amps at 120 vac.If your 120 vac fan draws less than 5 amps, you could use this.or,C.A.P. HUM1 - Humidity ControllerReally nice, but expensive.

Nope, I run it in my small bathroom with no noticeable effect in temperature from this running all day long. It really keeps the area dry though!

You should check your local building codes. Generally it is not permissible to vent a bathroom exhaust fan into another interior space, even a void space (like an attic, or between the walls.) This is especially true if you have a tub or shower in the bathroom.
