Review: The new fan fit right into my older fan unit box making installation a snap! - 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!
Review: Perfect!!!!! - Super happy with my new 80cfm bath fan. Super quite but works very well.

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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value for the money.
*by S***R on October 31, 2020*

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 **
