Broan-NuToneAE80BVentilation Fan with Roomside Installation, ENERGY STAR Certified, 80 CFM, 1.5 Sones, White

Facil de instalar, poco ruido y muy eficiente.

The contractor did not have too much trouble installing this bathroom ventilation fan. It's very quiet !

I replaced 2 builder quality fans with this one. One in a big master bath and one in a guest bathroom, both on the second floor with attic access.The one in the master bathroom was way undersized. These fans are roughly a 9 1/4 inch square with a 4" exhaust i believe and the one I had in the master bathroom was 8" with a 3" exhaust duct. Previously after my wife and I showered in the mornings there was condensation that would be dripping off the walls near the shower in the morning and it was hard to talk to each other if one of us was in the walk in closet attached to the bathroom. After installing, the noise reduction is noticeable and there was no longer condensation. We are also going from probably a 50 cfm fan with 5-6 SON rating would be my guess (builder grade). I also had to buy a 4" to 3" reducer for the vent which seems to be fine and cut the drywall out which was easy.The second bathroom was a little more difficult. You'll notice it mounts via the wing tabs to a stud. I didn't look at my previously installed fan but it was centered with metal brackets between the studs. So i had to make a wood bracket to space it out. It is also less noisy but it is a smaller bathroom so the fan noise is a little bit more noticeable then our master bath install. Still way less noisy but something to point out if you are looking for something that can't be heard in a smaller bathroom.I'm happy with the fans. They are way less noisy then the build grade fans, move lots more noise, and didn't cost 120 per unit like the more expensive fans. In the end, its a fan for the bathroom and I don't need something completely quite. The shower and other bathroom noises are louder then the fan and they move more air then the crappy builder grade fans while not costing 120 per unit for the same CFM.For reference I also installed both from the attic. On the second floor mine were both screwed into the studs for support. Overall, not a hard install but you will need romex pass through nuts, screws to install the fans to the joists (i used the existing fan screws), some ducting tap to seal the ducts, a reducer possible and maybe some zip ties for the duct insulation. That's what i can recall off hand.I am also not a professional for reference, just a DIY'er.

Replaced a decades old fan in one of our bathroom. This fan was slightly larger in size so I used the template on the shipping box and an oscillating tool to buzz the drywall opening larger. The fan mounting box has a couple tabs on it for new construction and I used those to shoot a couple deck screws to the ceiling joist for a solid mount. The included screw package is suppose to have all the screws you need for the wiring enclosure , and anchoring the motor to the housing. The screws included with mine were a little short so I used the deck screws I already had. Wiring was simple ( 3 wire ) and you will need three wire nuts for the install , don't use decades old ones. Flipped the switch and its really quiet. Lit a candle then blew it out to see how much it pulls and it was doing its job. Local big box stored were out of stock and showed anywhere from a week to two weeks to pickup. Amazon had it in stock and got it the next day.

This is spposed to replace the Broan QTRE090C 90 CFM according to Broan's website but it is way too small. I had to return and buy another one.
