I understand the Fan-Tastic 807350 Vent model has a remote control and this one doesn't but are there any other differences? If so, what are they?

I am sorry but I do not know the answer to that. I can, however, vouch for the quality of the Fan-Tastic product in general...I bought mine to replace a dismally disappointing previous product that lasted less than 1 week. The additional cost for the Fan-Tastic product was money well spent and actually cheaper in the long run. I will not use anything else in the future.

You can use a universal remote. I took the remotes out of my old fans ( different brand ) and put them in these fans. Works better than the old ones.

Ours has a remote, but we also have an on/off switch on the wall. The wall switch does not control any of the fan functions other than on and off.

3-speeds and reversible. Fan-Tastic Vent changed their model numbers 15 months ago, so what was a model 4000 became a 1250 (see chart at http://www.fantasticvent.com/assets/fantastic-vent-cross-ref-public-2014.pdf ),and the motor shown in the photo of the 4000 looks slightly different than the 4000 I purchased 11 months ago. Not certain what to say other than it's worth checking Fan-Tastic 801250 RV Roof Vent as that clearly shows a 3-speed, reversible model - and a few bucks less!

It depends upon what features are important to you. I recommend that you consider the 4000R which has reverse switch so you can either vent or bring fresh air in. The color refers to the trim on the fan that needs to match the trim in your RV Bathroom. Fantastic fans are quieter and move more air than standard equipment and are well worth the money. Replacing your old vent fan is a challenging job, but a skilled handy man who follows directions can accomplish in a few hours.

The fan on my Toto (which I believe was the S300, but I have since moved to another house and left it behind) can be turned on or off with the remote control. I always left it off.

It is the knob that controls how hot or cold. It is the same as the switch that controls which vent(s) the air comes out - at least on my RAM.

Yes, all of these remotes have receivers you have to install in the fan. Its pretty easy if you understand basic wiring and have room in your electrical box in your ceiling. With that being said, I wouldn't recommend this remote. It never worked well and had to replace it after a few months. I have had other fan remotes before with no issues, this one was a constant headache.

I do not think so... Home Depot sold me one and it did not work... I went online Amazon and bought the same one that came with the fan... and the fan was installed in @2005... and they have the exact same remote... think it was about $40. and IF you need the remote part that goes in the actual fan itself... the remote control included that part. Mine worked without having to switch that out. Good Luck!

I'm not sure about the remote control. Accommodating a nine-foot ceiling depends upon how high you mount it. The chimney does have some adjustment capability. Take a look at the maximum / minimum height in the specs (fully expanded length, then consider the height you are going to mount it (the difference between the two is the adjustment zone). Measure from the anticipated height of the base and work upwards. I have really tall ceilings in my kitchen and I setup the vent to exit to an outside wall and the chimney stops short of the ceiling - worked for us. Best I can offer on this.

I use the Ventamatic to control the transfer of air between rooms, one of which has a wood burning stove. I don't notice any temperature differential. I set the control for 80 degrees; the fan turns on at 80 and turns off below 80. Or so it seems to me; it works great. jp

do I have to buy a remote for this fan or can be controlled manually like most of the ceiling fans?

Looks like everybody but Monica got a remote control. Mine is the same as the others described here. Fan has three speeds and off. The light is just on or off (no variable or dimmer function). I did not replace the switch plate cover with the "holster", I just mounted it on top of it.

Remote components are installed inside the fan body. However, you will do yourself a favor by buying a different fan. My fan worked fewer than 24 hours before it ceased to function. Looked online, and hundreds of people seemed to have the same problem. Would never buy this again.

The fan mode is controlled by flipping the wall switch. If you want a faster speed flip the switch again. It is a very quiet fan, so wait a minute for it to get up to high speed. The humidity control is the best feature of this fan, turning it on and off automatically depending on the amount of humidity in the bathroom, the purpose of the fan. As far as I know one switch control one fan since its a multi mode switch. Hope this helps

My fan is controlled by a wall switch. When we were looking at this model online there did seem to be some that said there was a remote with the unit, but ours did not come with one. It can also be controlled manually by the pullchains. BTW, this fan is awesome.
