We recently renovated our bathroom and swapped out the old, broken exhaust fan for this one, and it’s been a perfect upgrade! The sleek, modern design fits beautifully with our new bathroom aesthetic—clean and unobtrusive, just what we were looking for. The fan is super quiet, which was a huge bonus. It’s much quieter than our old one, yet it clears the moisture from the air quickly and effectively. Even after hot showers, the bathroom stays fresh and dry in no time. After 2 months of use, it appears durable. The size was exactly as advertised, which made it a perfect fit for our project. It was a breeze to install—everything lined up and worked smoothly, so no issues there. Overall, I’m really impressed with this fan. It’s quiet, efficient, easy to install, and the size was spot-on for our space. If you’re upgrading your bathroom exhaust, I’d highly recommend this one! Read more

This fan moves a lot of air for the noise level. The light looks sleek and modern. The large open intake on the side reduces the chance of dust clogging it up over time. We really love how this fan looks and performs. Installation isn’t plug and play obviously but that’s expected of any fan. I just figured I should mention it so people don’t under estimate the amount of labor involved in replacing a bathroom fan. Read more

I'm converting a closet into a bath as an addition to a 1½ bathroom. I shopped around for an exhaust fan and was skeptical about buying the Broan 678 Ventilation Fan and Light Combination, 50 CFM and 2.5-Sones due to the many comments here about rattling-vibration noise. But because of the low price I decided to give it a try. I received and after some minor adjustments, got it installed and it works beautifully. I also added a 4.5 watts LED light, which makes it appear more expensive. It's also quieter than the one installed by the 1½ bathroom, so I'm purchasing another one. Here are some suggestions: Rattling noise is created when components vibrate against each other. An easy fix (it worked in my case) is to get a tube of caulk (I used clear instead of white) and caulk every area where there's a joint, even at the outlet where the duct with the flapper mounts to the fan. Just take your time and make sure to get every single joint. When mounting fan to a joist, use screws instead of nails. Nails can begin to back off due to fan's vibration. Also, place some type of insulation between the joist and the mounting plate of the fan to dampen vibration. I used a piece of ¼" thick rubber. After the fan is mounted, use a can of foam insulation and spray the foam around where the fan casing meets the ceiling. As the foam expands and hardens, it will provide additional support to the fan, making it more stable. As an added bonus, you may also prevent your AC from escaping around the fan. When installing the light housing, make sure the nut that support the housing is tight. Don't use just the nut to get the light housing tight against the fan housing, instead push the housing with one hand while tightening the nut. By pushing with your hands, you'll feel whether or not the housing is well seated. Finally, tie the electrical wires or tape them together and to the fan housing. Wires, it left loose will vibrate and may create noise. A vibration noise like a loose wire may not be enough to be bothersome, but add the many places an exhaust fan can vibrate and it can drive anyone nuts. However, with some preventing measurements, this fan will sound and look good without breaking your wallet (or purse for that matter). Note: I could give it a four start due those loose joints issues, but with such a low price and the easy fix to those issues, these exhaust fan is a great product. Read more

I bought this because it said that it’s a retrofit and will fit in the old metal box but it’s way too small to fit inside the same brand older metal box. We removed the old unit completely now the hole is much too big. By the description I was under the impression that it would fit inside the old one. We still needed to go in the attic! The noise level is okay. You can hear it on but not crazy loud. The light is very bright, which is nice for the bathroom. Read more
