Broan-NuTone AE110 Invent Flex ENERGY STAR Qualified Single-Speed Ventilation Fan, 110 CFM 1.0 Sones, White

The Broan-NuTone AE110 Invent Flex ENERGY STAR Qualified Single-Speed Ventilation Fan has truly made a difference in my home. This sleek white fan not only looks great in any bathroom, but it also performs exceptionally well. With a CFM rating of 110 and a sones rating of just 1.0, it efficiently removes excess moisture and odors, leaving my bathroom feeling fresh and clean.What sets this fan apart is its flexibility. It's easy to install and can be used in various locations throughout the house, not just in the bathroom. The energy-efficient design is a big plus, as it helps save on electricity bills while still delivering powerful ventilation.I've had other ventilation fans before, but the Broan-NuTone AE110 stands out for its performance and reliability. It operates quietly, so it doesn't disrupt the peace and quiet in my home. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this product, and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable ventilation solution.

redid a bathroom, and this AE50 was just the thing to replace the existing (but non-functioning) fan that was literally 50 years old. Very quiet, moves enough air in a 520 cu ft bathroom with shower, even though I had to choke down the exit port to mate with the old corrugated foil exhaust, so a fair amount of resistance. Good manufacture.

I installed this to replace our bathroom fan which was noisy and the cover had broken. After removing the old fan, I set to install this one. I had to cut out a larger hole (made easy by an oscillating tool), but it was a pain to install the unit inside the frame. I felt like I was bending the part you affix to the joist when putting the fan motor in. It took much longer than it should have. Now that it's in it's very quiet and seems to move the moisture out of the room. So I'm happy with the product, but if I had to install one again, I'd probably look to another brand for a better install process.

This fan does not have brackets that are anchored into the ceiling joists and slide thru the housing. This housing is screwed directly to the joists which makes for an easier installation IMO.I was replacing a smaller fan do I needed to cut some sheetrock, but I was unable to position the housing where I could use the brackets at designed. I ended up bending one bracket 90 deg and screwing it to a joist. The other bracket is unattached to anything. I then put some screws thru the frame into the joists on two sides and it's very solid. The wiring is very straightforward, but they do not supply any wire nuts which is kind of annoying. I reused the nuts for the white and black wires, but the neutral had been connected to a screw in the previous housing, so I had to go dig up a wire nut to connect the ground. The fan pops in and out of the housing easily.I did have a heck of a time connecting my semi-rigid duct to the outlet. They are both exactly 4", so that ended up being the most aggravating part of the entire install. After I taped up the duct connection, I taped up the gaps between the sheetrock and the housing, installed the cover, and turned on the fan. It's not silent, but it's much quieter than the fan it replaced and not noticeable with any background noise at all.Pros:Easy installation - Screws directly to joistsEasy fan removal/install into housingFairly quietCostCons:No wire nuts or any hardware at all (minor)Fan outlet is exactly 4" as the duct will be. 3.9 inches would have made a significant difference (minor)

Very pleased. Should have replaced the old exhaust fan years ago, probably a 50CFM if I had to guess. I replaced it with the 110CFM. Compared to the old fan, it's extremely quiet and works well... One more thing scratched off my "to do list"... next!

I needed to install a vent fan where there was none and this was the fan I chose. It's about $40 more than the same Broan fan that is louder. This one is very quiet.I bought this based on the product description pictures, thinking this was one that could be installed without any studs to secure it to but it is not. The pictures of the product also show it has flanges on the metal box and mine they were folded up. I almost returned this for the above, but I was able to find a crossbeam above my shower to directly screw this into after making new holes and using stainless screws to secure it. I needed to use silicon to close the gaps around the hole I cut out also, which would have been much easier had there been flanges like the product pictures showed. Overall a good fan, but be very careful about the 'room side' description. You absolutely have to have a stud right flush above with the hole you have to secure this to or it will not work. No hanger bracket kit was included and is optional to purchase separate if you need it.

I replaced a fan that was half the rating of this and was the original in my house since it was built almost 20 years ago. The old one was building up condensation and leaking into my ceiling so I went with this one since it was a stronger fan. Install was mostly easy but I did do most of it from up in my attic since I had access to get to it making it a little easier. As others have said the vent cover is junk how it connects and will be the most frustrating part of the process. I’ve seen a lot of people complain that it’s loud. Personally I don’t think it is. It is quieter than my old one but yes you can hear that it’s on. Not sure what sound level people are hoping for. I have a decently large bathroom and it still fogs up the top of the mirror with a long shower but it quickly evacuates as soon as the shower is off. I’ve also not had it fog over even a quarter of the mirror so overall it works good.

I replaced an older Broan fan with this newer one. Installing the new fan was easy but it is much more noisier than I expected.
