The new unit that replaces this one shown (with a curved face plate), is flat and takes up less head room and is slightly quieter.

The link does not work so I can't see which model you wish to compare. Go to the Panasonic Website which lets you compare models and explains how you determine which size is right for the size of the room. You don't want to buy a model that is made for a bigger room because it will feel drafty. Also you need to know how much room you have for mounting. I have a small space so I needed a low profile fan.

There are 4 models of this fan: 12, 14, 18, 20 (9212 / 9214 / 9218 / 9220). They probably mix up the description when making the different pages. The 9214 is a great in home size, btw!

I have two identical Nutone fans in separate bathrooms... one still has the original motor and one with the replacement motor.. clearly the replacement motor is louder than the original motor.

The serial number looks familiar. I have changed out two such fans. Note all attachment points or methods, and of course read and examine accompanying schematic. The process is logical and easy and can be done from a short ladder from within the room being ventilated, rather than topside.

They had a low profile model ... which I have ... that has a pancake motor. I looked at their website, and it appeard the line is changing. I would suggest calling Fan-tastic directly if you have questions. They have been very helpful in the past.

I have no idea, since I have only this version. Perhaps you could print out the features and specifications of each fan and compare them that way.

I don't know either.I had one put in my house and the other put in to my mother's, and they look and operate just the same. I'm thinking it may be a case of different model year names.

Mr. Heater seems to keep improving these units. I just bought mine in September of this year, and it was manufactured in May of this year (2013). I bought it at a local big box store.The fan on this unit seems pretty quiet. Certainly not noisy as others have reported in the past. You will hear the fan, but is smooth sounding an not obtrusive. My guess is that they've improved the fan quality in these current units.

It is the same one, just a different seller. To confirm this call amazon customer service and they describe and compare the items to you. They answer your phone promptly or e-mail.

My sister-in-law owns the DOHM, and used it while visiting us. We'd been using a fan in the baby's room, but wanted something safer once she was in a bed. The sound seems very similar, if not the same (haven't done an actual side by side comparison) and has been great. I will say we got two, and one did have a bit of a smell for the first day or two, but no issues other than that. I'm really happy we saved the money and went with the knockoff!

I don't know but at a quick glance the specs seem to be the same. In the past when I've seen small differences in product numbers like this it was because one was made to sell in a particular big box store. There may or may not be a difference in the product. A big box store that offers a price match may or may not recognize the two models as being the same for price match purposes.

This fan is taller and requires more space above the 2 x 6" ceiling joist for clearance. The whisper fit is made to fit into 2 X 6 joist space with no extra clearance needed above the joist. Also the FV- 11VQ5 is 110 cubic feet per minute and the FV-05VF2 is only 50 cubic fit per minute. Hope this helps.

Here is my question that got truncated (Amazon - you nowhere near allow enough characters): What difference does it make what direction the fan spins since the fan is shaped the exact same for both directions? I'm guessing it can't make any difference. Nevertheless, I believe the dead fan I'm replacing (Fasco K100) was CW (clockwise) and the description for this fan includes "Shipped CCW". Yet I've already bought and received this "universal" fan (but not installed it yet) and on the side of the motor I see "CW" (not CCW) along with the model number. I did plug it in briefly (while carefully holding it) and the shaft spins clockwise - clockwise if you are facing into the front of the fan (the flat top spins CCW).

Sorry, am only familiar with the one we own and which we like we like very much. Not familiar with the other model so can't offer a comparison.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question. I bought the white fan and no idea what version it was.

That is a question for the seller. The one in the picture comes in two different versions each has different calls on it.
