Xpelair GX6 Kitchen Window, Panel or Wall Extractor Fan

Very pleased with this. Not as bulky as the one I replace/updated. Works well and is quieter than the older model. Have to be patient when fitting cover as you have to get it just right for the pull cord to work but if I can do it anyone can. A little patience and perseverance is all that is needed. This helped but a finishing touch to my kitchen. The old one was very aged/yellow and it would have been to difficult timeless it and give it a thorough clean. When I took it down I saw the old one was 30 years old and still going strong! Let's hope this one lasts that long.

Very good product and excellent value. I bought this to replace the equivalent model which has been going strong for 37 years and only failed due to lack of internal cleaning. Must do better in the next 37! It was easy to fit although the mounting screw holes were slightly different and had to be redrilled. Much quieter than the previous model, and am very pleased with its perfcormance. Xpelair GXC6 Kitchen Extractor Fan Excellentservice with delivery within 3 days.

A bit bulky in size but cannot really fault this fan. It was bought for a domestic kitchen and removes steam and smells quickly and efficiently. It wasn't too difficult to fit either. The outside ventilator cover though has louvres which are too far apart to be really adequate in preventing back draughts in a windy area like ours.

I bought the Xpelair GX6 as it was a good price and the right fit to replace an old fan we had in our bathroom window that was a little worse for ware but still in working order. After installing myself I was pleased with my work but could not get the shutter to open after pulling the cord. We ended up using tweezers to manually open the shutters which then allowed the fan to work. Once opened it would not close so needed unfortunately nudging to get it to close (we have a cold bathroom). Not ideal but serviceable while I got in touch with your customer services. Initially great service, I was offered a replacement shutter section which came 3 weeks later. I fitted this the same day and was dismayed to find it had the same issue. Again I contacted customer services and was this time offered a whole replacement. Great I thought. However, when this came I opened this box and found without even fitting that it had the same issue. I was dumbfounded this time that I could be unlucky enough to have 3 that don't work. Once again on the phone to your customer services I was this time told I should wait 3 minutes as the mechanism is a delayed start. Although I could not see any wax working within the system nor on the instructions (although on another model this was mentioned) I did the diligent thing and went and checked. I waited 5 minutes and had no luck, it did not open. The customer services lady had however offered to send an engineer. The engineer visited today. He was a nice enough chap. He came in with his muddy shoes all over my floor, looked at my fan, told me he had been to a similar job a few weeks back and took the shutter off. He told me it was not the wax version of the fan and that I should not have to wait 3 minutes for it to open. He then said it seems to be working correctly but could see it was not opening. He started taking screws out of the machine to change it. At which point after offering a cuppa (as my mum has always told me I should) I went to get on with some work. Two minutes later he came out saying he had taken pictures of the fan and the wiring and had to get confirmation he could work on it. In theory I can see the health and safety concern as the fan is just off set of our sink however it is 2 foot away and the wiring is secured to the wall before going 10 cm across the glass which can't be secured (some more knowledgeable folk may have an answer for this). When working on this obviously the electricity would also have been turned off. He was unfortunately told no, he could not replace it so went away saying get back in touch with customer services. When I get in touch with customer services this time I am told the engineers report has come in and its been put down as "Installer Error". This means its my fault the fan is not working and I can have no further assistance or refund.

I bought this to replace a much older version which I think was of a higher quality, but that's progress for you. This fan is of reasonable quality and relatively easy to install and works well. But I had to fiddle with the shutter mechanism to get it to work properly, there are two springs to close the shutter. I tried using just one spring but this was not enough, so I refitted both springs and stretched them slightly and they now work perfectly. I think the manufacturer could improve on this area. I am now satisfied with this product.

Found after much searching for replacement 7 inch diameter window-mounted kitchen fan. Arrived promptly - easy fitting - does the job. There may be cheaper ones out there but you get what you pay for (Xpelair name and reputation) and there aren't so many this size. Also needed one that could be fitted with a plug which this can. Decent back-draught louvres too. Haven't really had to test it yet - warm weather yet to come and thankfully haven't burned anything lately...

Nice and silent, yet efficient - the fan is bigger than 6" (It is described as a standard 6" fan) but it is more like 7". I replaced an old 6" Xpelair and had to make a bigger hole in the wall. But it looks really smart, works well and is extremely quiet. It was really good value for such a nice fan.

Loooks well made and easily to install. Needs two people to fit it easily but I was able to do it on my own using masking tape to hold the external bezel while i linked up the internal motor unit and screw tightened the inner and outer parts together. The fixing instructions are not clear when read initially but become clear as fixing progresses. Like most instructions these days they can be understood after you have done the job. The design is good and does it's job very quietly. Recommended.
