[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely do the Panasonic WhisperWarm. It's sooo quiet, and warms up super fast, it's like 1300W which is the same as a space heater. I just installed it in the basement bathroom and it really works well. It's just over $300.

I considered the heated floors too but:

1) it only covers the floor that's not under any vanity or tub. So really it's a tiny part of the bathroom. 
2) it doesn't EMIT heat, it just keeps the tiles from being ice cold. It's very subtle. My friend has it all over her house and I've checked it out. She actually put it under her entire basement floor because she has no radiator heating in the basement. You don't even really notice it, other than when she pointed out the floor isn't cold. So you could just put a rug on the floor. [/quote]

OP here. I love this idea. I know you just installed it, but did your pre-research discuss whether a heated exhaust fan can breed mold? I wonder whether the heat/dampness combo could lead to mold growing in the system. [/quote]

I don't see that happening. The Whisperwarm can run the exhaust fan by itself, the heater by itself, or the heat/exhaust together. Usually after a shower i turn on the exhaust and it does an auto-shutoff in 2 hours. When the heater is on it's so dry that there's no way there will be mold. [/quote]
