Bathroom exhaust fans are desirable in any bathroom, and they are required in bathrooms that have no windows or a window that can't be opened. On the topic of bathroom ventilation, click this link if you would like to read more about bathroom windows.
Bathroom fans should exchange the air in a bathroom completely every five minutes. In addition to keeping the air fresh, they also help inhibit the growth of mildew and other fungi that easily breed in a bathroom.
Fans can be noisy, so listen to the model you are buying before you bring it home.
