Customer Reviews for Broan-NuTone 50 CFM Ceiling Bathroom Exhaust Fan with Incandescent Light

Installed a week ago replacing one that was over 30yrs old! And the difference is definitely the sone level!. It’s quiet and a diy could install only took about 2hrs to complete

Good price for product. Installed by professional, no comment on ease. It is a little louder than expected. Have only had x 1 week, previous exhaust was working for 20 years.

GREAT Exhausted and light Fan at a awesome price Very happy with this product.

nice using it to pull some of the heat out of a stairway eazy to install

The instructions are difficult to read with three columns of cramped small print in Spanish and English - switching columns for the languages from one page to the next. You'll want to read it in pdf form from the Home Depot site so that you can enlarge it. Installation was a pain for me. It is better suited for new construction. For me, a roomside replacement was impossible for these reasons which may also apply to you: 1) My old unit was nailed to a joist in the attic, so I had to crawl up there to pry out those nails. 2) The wiring from my attic did not provide enough length for me to make the connection to the new fan below the ceiling. This fan's wiring is accessed from the top of the unit. 3) Using just the inside mounting holes on this fan did not seem like they would be enough to keep the unit from vibrating a little. I could make it wiggle with a gentle push, so I also used the mounting at the top in the attic. 4) The duct on this new fan was on the opposite side from the old one. This also had to be changed from the attic. -- Another problem is that one of the white wires on this fan was tucked deep in to the wiring compartment and was not visible and easily accessible like the other wires. I was expecting two white wires, but thought that maybe this fan only needed one. When the fan did not work, I almost detached it for a return due to a missing wire. Just to be sure, I fished around in the opening and barely found the "missing" white wire nestled along the side and out of sight. The instructions say to "snap the damper/duct connector onto housing". There was no snapping happening. I just used tape to make sure it stays in place. You'll want to use gloves at times - some of the metal edges feel sharp. It was far more work than I expected, partly due to my shallow attic space, but now that it is done it seems to be working fine. At 50 CFM I still have steam after a shower, but much less than I did before. I'm pleased so far. It makes sound, which I prefer, but is not noisy.

It was easy to install and works well.

This is an inexpensive unit but suitable for small to medium sized bathrooms. I used this to replace the exact same model in our rental (which had lasted over 10 years). Great fan for the price!

A little cutting. Easy to install and great lighting. It is quiet for a fan.

Easy to install. I am no electrician. And I had no trouble installing it. it looks nice. Runs well and is quiet

Works fine. Easy enough to install as a replacement

Easy to install. Works well and pretty quiet. Smaller than previous fan so I trimmed the hole out with some wood.

Easy to install. Works just as shown.
