    Generally this item is well made and of good quality. I have removed one star due to the following reasons:- 1. it is not always a direct replacement for the older R90B since the external cover is larger than the original. 2. The screw that holds the power unit into the fan case can be fiddly to fit when the unit is ceiling mounted. 3. The instructions are not very clear especially about when the flowback flap needs to be fitted and when the square hole in the external cover should be removed.

  • Most critical review

    Straight replacement - tricky to fit

    The fan was purchased to replace the old R90B and it does in fact fit straight into the same aperture. It is however very tricky to get the incoming supply cable into a position which doesn't foul the fan cover. Also the optional pull cord switch feels cheap and is very suspect! Initially it was very intermittent in operation and I had to take the pull switch PCB out twice before it would operate consistently. All that being said if you need to replace an old R90B - This is the best option!

  • Greenwood Airvac RF90B

    Purchased as a 'direct' replacement for old Greenwood Airvac (earlier model) for which this is supposed to be replacement. There is no doubt that it is a replacement and similar model but at present I haven't got around to fitting as it appears to be a physically larger unit than the existing one. Can't say for sure but I don't think it will fit in the existing hole, however, as it was advertised as being a 'direct replacement' for the model I have I will be very disappointed if it doesn't fit !! If it is not the same physical size this would mean modifying the hole in the ceiling but perhaps worse if the depth is not the same it will mean new fitments/supports above plus the existing extract hose will need to modified to allow it to fit. Here's hoping that it does what it says and is direct replacement.

  • Stress-free replacement of a 20 year old R90B Greenwood Airvac Extractor Fan!

    I bought this after reading the reviews. I needed an easy solution to replace the existing Greenwood Airvac R90B extractor fan. Modern extractors tend to be physically smaller and would have left a big hole in the ceiling so finding something with an exact fit was ideal. I'm surprised to find that in 2017 I can still get an extractor that fits the same space and ceiling cut-out. Not only that, if you only want to replace part of it, you can keep the existing shell and only replace the fan motor. I was tempted to leave the existing shell with existing wiring and existing black wire unit, but Mrs. B insisted on replacing everything. If you only want to replace the fan (and currently have the old R90B model), then take off the old grill (one screw) and there's a handy labelled tab on the motor which points at the one screw you need to remove to pull out the motor. I wish I'd paid more attention to that as I ended up dismantling much more that I needed to for the initial inspection. Then just slide in the new motor to the existing housing which makes the power socket also plug in as the plastic molding is all lined up thanks to the clever design. Then you can test the motor to make sure everything works. After that you can decide how much of the old casing you want to replace. It also comes with clever clips to secure the unit to the ceiling plasterboard. I used this method. The previous installer had simply drilled 2 additional holes into the old housing straight into the loft beam. I would have followed suit but the clips were easy to fit so didn't need to pierce the housing. You can't miss the clips they are packed separately and come with very very long screws (2 pack). I pinched out the mid-section square on the front facia which wasn't that clear from the written instructions, but was clear in the diagram. When I did that, I noticed more steam being extracted - instead of just the side vents. The pipe connection hole at the top of the housing came with a rubber ring which helped fit the hose snugly, but I still re-used the metal screw fastening ring which was attached to the previous fan for extra security. The hose (that funnels the steam out of the loft) is not supplied with the unit, but I just reused the existing silver foil hose that was fitted to the old unit. It's not the most powerful fan in the world but I'm not a plasterer and I was dreading having to fill a gap in a ceiling, so I'm happy for the fan to take a couple of extra minutes to clear the steam. It's much quieter than my previous fan - probably due to the dirt build-up in the old unit. I had delayed this bit of DIY for months and recently noticed a build up of mould spots on the ceiling due to poor ventilation - even with the window open. Once the mould has been treated (with a tea-tree oil and disinfectant solution) and scrubbed off, with the new extractor in place, I'm hoping that the mould will not return. The electrics were really straight forward. Slide the small black wire box towards the side of the case and then out, then unscrew the neutral and live connections (after switching off the mains of course). Do this in reverse with the new unit. I took several photos as I was dismantling the old unit so I had a reference for putting everything back. I also had to drill out the circle punch at the top of the new casing as that's what the previous installed had used to feed the electric cable through - by falling the same installation process, I was certain that existing cabling was going to reach the desired connection. Overall I'm delighted that I found this item on eBay for the price that I did (under £35) and the speedy free delivery. I'm temped to buy a second unit and keep it as a spare, but Mrs. B disagrees so I'll keep my fingers crossed that they keep making this model for many years. Thank you Greenwood for a stress-free solution!

  • RF90BW Direct replacement for discontinued R90B

    I was very pleased to discover that this fan is a direct replacement for the old Greenwood R90B. Indeed, most of the parts are interchangeable, including the ceiling box, the motor/fan assembly, the circuit board. It fits perfectly in the same ceiling cutout dimensions. The new model has a better design of front panel/cover. Instead of the old fragile grille, it has a smart cover with slide out filter. If you have an old flush mounted R90B that needs an overhaul (new motor and backdraught flap etc.) then this is just what you need.

  • Replacement

    Bought this to replace equivalent existing 20yr old Greenwood Airvac R90 which had become somewhat noisy! Much neater looking than original and has a removable washable filter which is a bonus. Otherwise exactly the same dimensions.

  • The obvious replacement for previous model, as fits ceiling cut-out, but pullcord assembly could be better

    Good replacement for previous Greenwood Airvac model in that it fits the same ceiling cut-out. OK to fit other than a bit of a fiddle finding space for existing supply cable within new unit. The weak link is the pullcord and connector to switch as they are a bit feeble.

  • Does the job

    Bought to replace the older version. The noise level and extract rate are about the same but its advantage is the removable dust filter which hopefully will prevent the fan blades becoming completely clogged with muck and fluff which happened the last fan.

  • It is fine, but this model does NOT have an overrun timer

    I didn't check the spec close enough - my bad - this model does not have the overrun timer so it is either off or on depending on the position of the pull-chord or light switch.Fortunately, I was able to swap over the control board from my old one which was suffering from a noisy fan and now I have a new quieter fan with an overrun timer.
