Bathroom Exhaust Fans

I used the Broan humidity sensing fans in our bathrooms and laundry room. I think they’re great. I don’t bother adjusting the setting in the summer when it’s humid in the house, so they’re on frequently for those months but I figure that’s helping ventilate the house. I love not having to worry that someone has forgotten to turn on the fan for a shower or worry about remembering to turn the fan off once it’s on (or waiting around for it to clear the steam before I can leave for work). Also, in the laundry room, it can sense when I’ve laid out clothes to air dry rather than using the dryer, and the fan goes on automatically.

Anyone have any suggestions/recommendations for a bathroom exhaust fan? I’d possibly like one that is humidity sensing but is it worth it? Obviously also something that runs rather quietly. I’ve read about Panasonic WhisperGreen fans but they aren’t humidity sensing. Is that really required? What about Delta Electronics for humidity sensing ones? Thanks.

I have a whisper quiet one and we wind up lewaving it on all the time.   The noisier one reminds you to shut it off, and also provides some noise to counter the echos coming out of the john.
