I plan to install in a 5x7 powder room off of the kitchen. Is 80CFM large enough. Can you buy too large?

I recently put an 80 cfm fan in a powder room that is also about 5 x 7 with 8 foot ceiling on main floor of two story house (length of ductwork makes some difference). I think that was a little bigger than the recommended size (I saw anywhere from 5 to 8 minutes recommended to remove the room air volume) but I didn't want to go too small. 80 cfm is plenty. Drawback of going bigger is need for larger diameter duct to make use of the fan power, a little more noise from a larger motor, and less energy efficient both due to motor and to pulling more heated or cooled air out of the house.

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.

I have it in a very small bath about the same size as your room and it is excellent. Yes it is possible to buy too large.. For one, its currently about 8 degrees out here in MN and I don't want to pump more of my heat out than necessary... Also you can create negative pressure in your house which could affect fuel burning appliances. I think these Panasonic fans move at least as much as they state unlike the inexpensive broan model it replaced... This Panasonic replaced a 80cfm broan but it definitely moves more air. These are extremely quiet also. According to standard fan sizing recommendations, with your room of 280 cubic feet (assuming 5x7 and 8ft ceilings) 60 cfm would even be sufficient. I would go for this one at 80. Hope this helps.

I think you'll be fine...but I agree with you that you can't go too big..I installed this Panasonic fan in our main bath shower, which is 6' x 5' and is separated from the main bath by a door. If works great.

large is never too excessive as long as you have the space. I have the med tall which works great because they love to be as high as possible.

You could buy two small kits. Each covers 31 ish square feet, so you should be ok. I found there was just enough base coat in the large kit for my 32 sq ft of counters. I think the large kit does 50 sq ft.

I love my 800's. It all depends on the size of the room you're trying to fill.

I'm no expert and can only talk of personal experiences. I would recommend an 8 x 4. I tried 10 x6 and found that it is too unstable trying to come back down it tends to develop a nasty wobble and led to a crash. The 8 x 4 is nice and stable.

I really didn't need much space, I converted a room off my kitchen into a makeshift exercise room. The space, within the room, I used for JMBR was about 8ft x 8ft and it worked really well.

If you go on the Body Solid website and look at the manual, I believe, they have a room designer template. I believe you need an area which is 8 feet square.

Hi Mary, thanks for the question. It really depends on the dimensions of the space. In general, rooms (or barns) that are larger than 20' X 15' are better served by two fans rather than one large fan. We hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please feel free to call one of our experts. They can give you all the answers you need over the phone, and they're literally sitting next to their phones right now (yes, even on a Friday)! Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

You should take all your measurements together.It depends how high is you oven.

I think a 600 CFM is a little too small. Personally I would look at a 700 or 750 CFM.

I'd get one that is bigger. This is just ok for a 15 x 15 room in my opinion. Makes a nice noise, circulates air pretty well - but won't cool a room off in my experience. Good luck!

I think the unit is too small for that size room. If I am not mistaken sunbean has another units for larger rooms. I use it in a 30 square foot room, it makes the room very hot , but this might not be the case in a larger room.

I think both sizes would be fine. The larger size would just extend a little further over the unit. It's mess (breathable) though.

I use mine in a room about that size. The 305s are definitely a better size for that size room, but if you plan on moving to a larger room down the road, the 308s are a good choice.

I read a review that said its best to have at least 2 sq ft of airspace inside. I would go a little bigger is space allows you to.

Measure the rooms and go by inches... Ex if its 10X10 square (inches) and your room is 100in long you'll need 10 but it's best to over order, I love this carpet but some had no sticky backs or ripped and needed replaced. Otherwise it is pretty durable once laid.

It is never too late just follow the instructions you receive with your order. My guess is that you will need a space of about 8' by 12'. Good luck
