I hate them. So much. PLEASE can someone recommend a very very quiet one before I literally rip it out of the wall.

I hate mine too. Dh comes up to bed and leaves the ensuite door open with the big blaring lights and insanely loud fan noise. Totally ruins my relaxing drifting off to sleep. Every night I have to tell him to shut the bloody door and every night he mutters something stroppy under his breath at me about not being allowed to clean his teeth in his own house. I'm not sure what I feel more rage towards to be honest.

What an indictment of ensuites! I hate the things for exactly this kind of reason. Isn't there a family bathroom you could use instead, and use the ensuite for storing or drying clothes?

you get a fan and then an extra module that can do either a timer or a humidity sensor a switch. those are the bits that look like odd white bananas.

We have the same issue. We’ve taken to using the torches on our phones to brush our teeth by / see the toilet with at night so we don’t wake the whole house up by turning on the fan and light (connected).
