Bathroom Exhaust Fan with LED Light and Roomside Installation, Energy Star Certified, 110 CFM, Very Quiet 1.0 Sones White, AE110L

Easy to install, looks nice and works well, also quite. I purchased a second one for another bath

Works great. Easy to install. Went from 80 CFM to this one which is 110 CFM. Light is bright. Best of all four inch connection didn't have to change existing ductwork.

I replaced all four 20-year-old Broan fans in my 2-story house with Broan-NuTone AE110L fans. Installing each fan and cleaning up requires about 3-4 hours for an experienced, careful handyman. The job is messy due to the drywall dust and blown-in insulation, so be sure to wear a mask. I did not merely replace worn parts (assuming parts would even be available) for these reasons: 1) The old contractor-grade fans had been declared a fire hazard by our HOA. 2) The old fans had a very unusual, dim, hard-to-find fluorescent light bulb with a flicker-prone mechanical ballast. 3) The old fans were cheap, low-capacity and noisy, using axial blowers instead of powerful centrifugal blowers. These new units seem well-engineered/quiet/high capacity, and the spare 25,000 hour LED light modules are available for $35 from Broan-NuTone. This fan has the same height and spatial relationship between the mounting bracket/housing wall and the air outlet duct as the old Broan fan does, even though it has much higher capacity. The electrical inlet is in the opposite side, but in every case, there was plenty of spare Romex wire length available once a cable staple was pulled out. I installed all of my fans without going into the attic, which was essential for several of the fans. Be sure to watch the installation videos on Amazon and YouTube before installing. I was able to remove the old fan and prepare for the new one by using a long extension electric screwdriver, drywall saw, pry bar, and Channellock pliers. This was one of the most difficult and messy steps. For these retrofit installations, I folded the mounting brackets against the housing wall (as instructed) and put about five 2 inch drywall or deck screws through the housing wall into the ceiling joist stud or I-beam to mount the housing. In two cases I needed to screw on a foot-long piece of wood (2” x 2” or 23/32” x 5.5”) to the top or side of a ceiling joist in order to provide a large enough flat surface for the mounting bracket/housing wall. I used 2” wide aluminum duct tape for the duct connection and also to seal the fan housing to the ceiling drywall (highly recommended to stop air/dust leaks). The hole needed in the ceiling drywall is one inch larger than the old 9" x 9" fan in one direction only. Be sure to mount the fan housing far enough into the ceiling so none of it hangs out; the grille springs can accommodate up to 1/2” indent at least. Note that if your 4" discharge hose or your attic grates are restricted in flow, the fan noise will increase. If you have separate light and fan switches and want an LED dimmer, another reviewer recommends the LeGrand RHCL453PTCCCV6 over the Lutron for minimal buzzing noise. Installing the LED module in the grille is a little tricky: hold the grille in both hands and sequentially work the grille's 2 latches up onto the the highest notch on each side of the module.

Good ventilation rate, a bit noisy. Used to replace a much more expensive nut one with moisture sensing that quit after 3 years. Grille provides much better exhausting. Light is bright.

Since the new fan was installed, the bathroom is no longer damp, the mirror is fogged up, and there is no noise. I am very satisfied with this product.

Very quiet. Easy DIY install (retrofit). Tip: Install the main box before wiring. Make sure the duct is easily accessible after installing the main box, remove the internal wiring junction box and pull the electric from the house into the main box. Then mount the box, wire it up and connect the exhaust as instructed. Removing existing fan is the hardest part.

The light looks good and the fan works, but the fan light is WAY too bright. You can't switch the bulb and you can't control it with a dimmable light switch. I would have returned the two fans I bought like this had I known how bright the light was and that it could not be modified (I learned this after I had them professionally installed). Very disappointed.

Worked so well I bought another

love my fan. Bought it mainly for extra light as my bathroom very dark. Plenty of light. Hardly makes any sound. No complaints from person installing fan.
