Best extractor fan?
Discussion
Can anyone recommend me a decent extractor fan to go into my bathroom ceiling?
I've looked online and they seem to go from £10 to over £100 and for added confusion there's axial, in-line and centrifugal but which is best?
It needs to go in a plasterboard ceiling below the loft space and connected to an existing vent in the brickwork and also be wired to the electric shower and run for 20 - 30 minutes after the shower has been switched off.
Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

Cant help with this type because I only fit the in-line type in the roof space (bungalow).
I also use flexible aluminium ducting between the grille in the bathroom & the fan, mount the fan on a bracket fixed to the pitch roof timber (top chord??) & use a tile vent.
But no good for bathrooms without a roof void above.
Most will have a run-on timer, but you must also fit a 3-pole switch-disconnector outside the bathroom for a ceiling mounted fan.
