Vents TwinFresh Comfo RA1-50-2
#1 in Single roomFull review
A low cost, very quiet way to bring fresh air into one bedroom or office without ducts. Buy two for a larger room, since one unit moves little air in recovery mode.
Amazon $549$549
The Vents TwinFresh Comfo RA1-50-2 rates 3.4 among single room ERV or HRVs; the Panasonic WhisperComfort FV-06VE1 rates 2.9 among whole-house ERV ones. The Vents TwinFresh Comfo RA1-50-2 costs $70.99 less ($549 vs $619.99).
Panasonic WhisperComfort FV-06VE1
A compact ERV for an apartment, condo or small house, or for one zone of a larger one. Households that need more than about 50 cfm should look at the Intelli-Balance or a full size unit.
