100 mm Passive Air Vent, Through Wall Vent Kit with Filter | Adjustable airflow · Telescopic duct · SS304 outdoor grille · No electricity required

Easy to install, would recommend

I've installed this passive air vent in my little bathroom. Luckily there was a similar model already installed before so I didn't have to drill a massive hole. I think these passive air vents are a straightforward and effective solution for improving indoor air quality without the noise or running costs of a mechanical system. The 4-inch diameter seems standard size and fit the existing hole in the wall perfectly. It is ideal for providing a consistent stream of fresh air into the bathroom (or any other room as required), helping to prevent the build-up of condensation. The construction of this unit feels durable, especially the external grill made from stainless steel, which can't break as easily as the plastic versions available. I found the replacement process quite simple due to the extendable ducting, which allows the unit to pass through various wall thicknesses without needing complex modifications or additional piping. The airflow can be adjusted, so you can manually control the volume of intake depending on the season, which is essential for preventing drafts during the colder months. I have also noticed that the included filter does a good job of trapping dust so it doesn't enter the bathroom. The bathroom faces a fairly busy road outside and there would otherwise be a lot of black micro dust inside the room. Since there is no motor, the vent operates in complete silence, doesn't generate further costs for electricity and should last much longer than an electric fan.

Installation was straightforward thanks to the adjustable telescopic duct, and the stainless steel grille looks neat on the wall without being obtrusive. The three-level airflow control is easy to adjust based on what you need, and the mesh filter is simple to clean when required. It's quietly doing its job of improving air quality without any electricity costs, which makes it decent value for money. The build quality feels solid and the rain protection design seems sensible for outdoor weather exposure.

** Summary version- see detailed below ** This passive air vent is a well-built solution that provides adjustable airflow, integrated insect screening, and a handy dust filter. While the install is relatively simple and the unit creates an airtight seal, I found the £49.99 price tag difficult to justify for a non-mechanical device. It performs well, but there are many more affordable alternatives available if you compare it against standard market options. ( see considerations) __________________________________ ** For those who want more detail ** Quality & Size The build quality of this passive air vent is good, especially for a non-mechanical device. The components feel well-made and the ducting is standard, designed to fit a typical 100mm outlet. If you are replacing an old extractor fan or an existing vent, the sizing should line up without much trouble. Usability The design is split into two parts: an external stainless steel grille with an integrated mesh to keep insects out, and an internal adjustable unit. I like that the internal panel features three levels of airflow control, allowing you to choose how much air enters/leaves the room. It also includes a rubber seal, ensuring it closes completely airtight when needed, and a sponge filter to catch dust, which is a helpful addition for indoor air quality. Installation is fairly straightforward. The extendable ducting is flexible, featuring an aluminium coating inside and white plastic on the outside, and it comes with stainless steel rings to secure everything tightly. Just ensure your wall hole is large enough to accommodate the ducting diameter. Considerations One thing to note: if you are replacing an older square vent, be prepared to do some making-good on the wall surface to accommodate this round design. Overall & Final Thoughts The primary benefits of this unit over a standard vent are the multi-level airflow adjustment, the dust filter, and the clean aesthetic. It looks tidy and functions exactly as intended. However, I am not convinced that these features justify the £49.99 price point. Since it lacks any mechanical parts or motorised components, it feels like a significant premium for a passive system. You can easily find much cheaper round vent covers elsewhere which has airflow control, so I would suggest shopping around before committing to this one.

This passive air vent is a well-made device for improving airflow in smaller spaces like bedrooms or attics. This one has been installed in our insulated summerhouse, connecting through insulation to give much needed ventilation. The build quality is actually really good, with the stainless steel external grille and solid adjustable internal vent giving it a durable, long-lasting feel. Once installed, it does a good job of keeping air moving. I particularly like the adjustable airflow settings, which makes it easy to control how much ventilation you need at different times of year. The built-in filter is good too, helping to keep dust and insects out. Installation is fairly straightforward thanks to the telescopic duct, which adapts well to different wall thicknesses. You just need a good core drill to do the cutting. The only slight downside is the price, as it feel a bit pricey for a passive vent. That said, the quality is excellent and that alone justifies the cost. Overall, it’s a reliable, low-maintenance ventilation solution that works well and feels built to last.

I installed this air vent in my bedroom, and I’m very impressed with how much of a difference it has made in air quality and general comfort. It’s very simple, but it works far better than I expected for improving ventilation. It’s great that it requires no power at all. It’s completely passive, which means there’s no noise, no running costs, and no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning. Despite that, it does a great job of reducing stuffiness and improving airflow in the room, especially overnight when the space tends to feel more enclosed. The adjustable airflow feature is particularly useful. Being able to choose between different ventilation levels means I can control how much fresh air comes in depending on the weather. On cooler nights, I keep it low, and during warmer days, I increase airflow to keep the room fresher. The built-in filter helps to reduce dust and keeps the incoming air noticeably cleaner. Installation was straightforward. It adjusted easily to my wall thickness, and everything fit securely without much effort. The stainless steel external grille feels solid and well made, and the angled design helps prevent water from entering during rainy weather. The build quality is excellent. It feels durable and designed for long-term use. It’s excellent for anyone looking to improve natural ventilation in their home without electricity or complex systems. It’s efficient, well designed, and does exactly what it’s supposed to.

Used in a workshop to allow for continuous airflow in a damp corner with no power for a fan. So far it seems to be working well and it’s made a big difference having airflow. Quality is good and installation is easy once the hole is drilled. It’s easy to adjust so it can be closed off more on days when it’s too cold. Looks pretty neat and discrete.

👍 What I liked Provides constant fresh air without electricity Passive vents work using natural air pressure and temperature differences—no fan required. 👉 That means: Silent operation No running cost Always-on ventilation Perfect for bedrooms, lofts, or rental properties. Adjustable airflow (important feature) Most models include: Rotary or iris shutter Multiple airflow settings This lets you: Reduce drafts in winter Increase airflow in humid conditions 👉 According to product specs, adjustable shutters allow precise control of incoming air
