" ... We live in Florida use them in both bathrooms so the auto sensor and timer are wonderful. ... "
" ... They're always automatic if they sense humidity, which is great, plus they have instant timed run whenever the button is tapped, with simple second tap to turn off and return to just automated. ... "
