Broan-NuTone Bathroom Exhaust Fan Easy Retrofit without Attic Access, Quiet 1.5 Sones, Effective Ventilation at 80 CFM ENERGY STAR Certified Moisture and Odor Control

This unit was MUCH quieter than my older Broan from 1999. A HUGE plus was the box portion of the fan assembly was exactly the same as the unit already installed in my home 26 years ago. If you have a similar unit this means you can just insert the new fan portion of the fan right into the old box, plug it up and you're in business. Install took maybe 2-3 minutes. The new grill design looks more modern and appealing too. Great price and performance!

Super happy with my new 80cfm bath fan. Super quite but works very well.

I bought this to replace an in-op exhaust fan in our bathroom. It is the same one we purchased some years ago. It is very inexpensive ($16 when I purchased) and can clear 50 cubic feet per minute. I give it a 3 on noise level as it is a bit noisy. However it’s a noise of air being drawn in rather than noise from the motor or assembly. The motor is rather quiet and there are no rattles from the assembly, housing, fan, or cover. Again, you can definitely hear it drawing the air out. Installation I give a 4. It’s not difficult but it’s not just attaching it to a beam and plugging it into power. It does require the motor to be removed (which is done simply by lifting and pressing slightly against the housing) and then its electric panel to be removed (again also held on with tension) to be able to attach the power and more easily attach it to a beam. Then once secured and power hooked up you must replace the panel cover and the motor assembly to finish the installation. It can be attached with nails or screws. If this is going int a new install where Sheetrock has not yet been installed your installation will be slightly easier as you will not be confined to the opening in the Sheetrock. This unit can be mounted in ceiling or wall systems. ** depending on how your current fan is installed you may have an easier or more difficult time installing. - - - I didn’t give it a 5 for installation due to needing to remove/disassemble two separate sections to install the electrical prior to attaching and putting it all back together **

Install was easy enough and works as advertised. But definitely no quieter then the 20yr old one that it replaced.

Fantastic for the price & quality. A true upgrade to the ventilation, actually keeps bathroom mirrors defog'd and counters dry. The sound is perfect, just enough to feel like you get some privacy but soothing not jarring. Pretty fast & easy setup, except the cover was a bit annoying and 1 of the tabs already came broke off.

Very happy with this purchase with this very quite fan. Direct replace of my original over 25 year Broan 688 unit. I only replaced the fan unit and grill while keep the old housing to save some effort, so no wiring and cutting. Took just a few minutes to install it. I like the new grill style better. Overall, I think this could be the best upgrade I have for my bath room fan because this is the genuine component not the off label for Broan-Nutone exhaust fan.

Very quiet and easy to install without help. Fits easily into existing ceiling fitting. Looks great. Great price!

Purchased a few of these for our house build. They do work well as a ventilation fan. I only give 3 stars as they are very loud..

We installed this in the bathroom wall and installation (with the kit) was pretty easy. It does make a bit of noise, but it's not loud or an annoying noise; it sounds like a regular fan on high. Some other reviewers have said it's extremely noisy, but maybe it's where it was installed that's causing more noise, as this model can be used on either a wall or ceiling. It works really well to vent the steam from showers. We switch it on when we go in, and leave it on for a few minutes after we get out. The mirror clears up within a couple of minutes. The product info listed here mentions two sone levels, but this model is 6 sones according to the Broan website.

Es el modelo que necesitaba, justo a la medida.

Un poco de ruido pero muy buen extractor, definitivamente es un producto altamente recomendable!

Really noisy and internal parts rusted very quickly . Unfortunately bought two and could not return the unopened second one as return window closed.

I was very disappointed to find out that I needed to spend an extra £200 to purchase 2 step-up converters. There is nothing in the description or on the packaging to clearly articulate the fact that the fans are not suitable for the UK. Unfortunately I had to wait until my electrician was available to install the fans - which took place a few days outside the refund window. Now I am stuck with two fans that I can't use. Wasted money. I contacted customer service and they have ignored me after offering to reimburse me. Very dissatisfied customer.
