Rank #4 in Best Bathroom Extractor Fan 2026: 10 Ranked, and the 16 dB Claim That Isn't Measured
Manrose MF100T Inline Extractor Fan with Timer, 100mm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Manrose MF100T sits at number 4 in this guide, and it is the odd one out here: it is an inline mixed flow fan that mounts inside the duct rather than on the wall or ceiling. That is why its numbers sit in a different league — the listing quotes 68 litres per second, or 245 cubic metres per hour, against the 78 to 98 cubic metres per hour that the axial 100mm fans in this guide list. Same 100mm duct, different job.
Its noise figure is 25 dB(A) at 3 metres, so this one, like the other fans here that name a distance, tells you where the measurement was taken. What it does not do is agree with itself. The specification table on the same listing says "Battery Powered", "Remote Control" and "Control Method: App", while the description says Class II double insulated with no earth required, a 25-watt power consumption and a built-in run-on timer. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any test of ours.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“What an amazing bit of kit! This Manrose MF100T has completely transformed our shower room and sorted out the damp residue that our old standard 100mm extractor simply couldn't cope with.The difference in extraction power is enormous — our old fan extracted around 10 litres per second, whereas this beast manages a whopping 68 litres per second (245m3 per hour)! You can genuinely feel the difference.It was easy to install, surprisingly quiet in operation and has made a huge difference to the amount of steam and moisture left behind after a shower. If you're looking for a very cost-effective way to tackle bathroom steam and damp, I honestly can't recommend this highly enough. An absolute winner!”
Verified purchase“This is powerful. If the bathroom door is not latched, the vacuum will open it a bit! It is more noisy than last one, mostly air movement, but not an issue. BUT the bathroom is not left wet! Just a light mist on our mirror and window. Impressed!”
