Bathroom extractor fan AWENTA WA100DW two-speed 64/85 m³/h 5/12 W 230 V with pull-cord switch, white

AWENTA WA100DW is a two-speed bathroom extractor fan designed for ventilation of bathrooms and small rooms. The unit delivers 64 m³/h on the low setting and 85 m³/h on the high setting while consuming 5 W and 12 W respectively at 230 V. A built-in pull-cord switch provides straightforward manual control and the white finish enables discreet mounting in typical domestic sanitary interiors.

Advantages

The fan offers two selectable airflow speeds that balance ventilation performance and energy use, allowing lower power consumption during continuous operation and a higher flow for rapid moisture removal. Its integrated pull-cord switch removes the need for separate wall controls and simplifies installation in situations where a local manual control is preferable. The compact design and white casing facilitate unobtrusive placement in bathrooms, toilets or small utility rooms.

Suitable for

• Ventilation of small bathrooms and toilet rooms
• Supplementary ventilation for en-suite or guest bathrooms
• Moisture and odour control in small utility or laundry rooms
• Replacement of existing small extractor fans with manual control

When it may not be suitable

This extractor fan is sized for small rooms; it may not provide adequate airflow for larger bathrooms, open-plan wet areas or spaces with high ceilings. The unit relies on a manual pull-cord switch for control and does not include timed, humidity or motion-sensitive automatic functions; if automatic or switched remote control is required, choose a different model with those features.

Key specifications

• Airflow: 64 m³/h (low) / 85 m³/h (high)
• Power consumption: 5 W (low) / 12 W (high)
• Supply voltage: 230 V
• Control type: built-in pull-cord switch
• Colour/finish: white
• Intended installation: wall or ceiling mounting in small rooms

How to use

Install the fan according to the manufacturer’s mounting instructions, ensuring correct electrical connection to a 230 V supply through a qualified installer when required by local regulations. Use the built-in pull-cord to switch between off, low and high airflow settings as needed: select the low setting for continuous ventilation and energy savings, and the high setting when rapid moisture extraction is necessary after showers or cleaning. Ensure ducting and external grille or outlet are unobstructed to maintain rated airflow.

What to consider before purchase

• Room volume and required air changes per hour to confirm the airflow is adequate for the intended room size
• Need for automatic features (timer, humidity sensor or motion sensor) — this model uses manual pull-cord control only
• Mounting location and ducting path to ensure correct installation and unobstructed exhaust
• Local electrical installation requirements and whether a qualified electrician is needed for connection

Usage recommendations

For typical bathroom use, operate the fan on low continuously when humidity is moderate and switch to high for 10–20 minutes after bathing or showering to remove excess moisture. Periodically check and clean the fan grille and impeller to preserve airflow and efficiency, and verify the exhaust outlet remains clear of obstructions.
