Cata 662000 axial extractor fan, 225 mm, 950 m³/h, 45 W

Its stated airflow of 950 m³/h is the main practical draw, giving this Cata extractor a clear role in moving air from bathrooms and larger shared spaces. It is an axial fan with wall mounting and a white finish. The listed sound pressure level is 44 dB(A) at 2 m, so that figure is worth factoring in where noise matters.

Quick overview

The 662000 is described as a professional axial wall extractor, with a 225 mm diameter, 45 W power consumption and a maximum airflow of 950 m³/h. Its product details list bathrooms as the room type, while the description also names restaurants, bars and public halls as suitable settings. That gives it a broader stated use than a fan intended only for a small domestic room, although the figures alone do not establish how it will perform in a particular space.

The fan is corded electric and has a wall-mount design. Its listed dimensions are 13D x 29W x 29H centimetres, and it weighs 3 kg. The IPX4 rating and stated operating ambient temperature range of -20 °C to +50 °C are useful details when checking whether the product’s stated conditions suit the intended location. A solid pick if you need a wall-mounted extractor with a specified high airflow and have checked the opening and space available.

Practical tips

Before choosing a mounting position, compare the stated 225 mm diameter and overall dimensions with the space available. The listing describes the fan as a window/wall fan, but gives wall mounting as the mounting type, if you intend to fit it in a window, the supplied information does not confirm that installation arrangement. The product details also specify a maximum airflow temperature of 50 °C, which is distinct from the stated ambient operating range.

There is no maintenance schedule or cleaning method in the supplied details, so it would be unwise to assume a particular routine or dismantling method. The 44 dB(A) sound pressure figure is given at 2 m, if prioritise a particularly quiet room, consider that published figure alongside where the fan will sit and how it will be used. It is a concrete specification, not a guarantee of how noticeable it will sound in every room.

Everyday use

For a bathroom, the stated purpose is straightforward: extract air from the room using a wall-mounted fan. In a restaurant, bar or public hall, its specified 950 m³/h airflow may be more relevant than the compact-room focus of a basic extractor. Actual suitability still depends on the room and installation, neither of which is detailed here, so the airflow figure should be treated as a product specification rather than a room-by-room performance promise.

The white colour and modern style are modest design details, while the 3 kg weight and listed dimensions help with planning the installation. If comparing it with a simpler, lower-airflow fan, the clearest reason to consider the Cata is its stated extraction capacity, if quiet operation is the priority, the sound-pressure rating deserves attention. You may want to skip it if the available mounting space does not suit its dimensions or the published sound figure does not fit your requirements.

What to clarify

What is the stated airflow? The maximum airflow is 950 m³/h.

Is it listed for bathroom use? Yes. The room type is given as bathroom, and the description also names restaurants, bars and public halls.

Can it be installed in a window? The product name refers to a window/wall fan, but the mounting type is listed as wall mount. The supplied details do not confirm a specific window installation method.

Is it worth it?

The Cata 662000 is most relevant when the buying decision centres on a wall-mounted axial extractor with a stated 950 m³/h airflow, rather than on extra features or a detailed maintenance package. Its 225 mm diameter, 45 W consumption, IPX4 rating and sound-pressure figure give practical points to compare with the intended space. Choose it when those stated dimensions and performance details fit the job, look at a different approach if the installation is not wall-mounted or quieter operation matters more than the listed airflow.
