Broan-NuTone AE110LK Bathroom Exhaust Fan with Light, Easy Install, ENERGY STAR Certified, Powerful 110 CFM, Quiet 1.0 Sones, White

I bought this to replace a massive 40+ year-old light-fan-heat unit that was becoming a fire hazard. Because the old unit was a completely different size (and ancient), I knew I wasn’t going to be able to use the retrofit feature or do the installation from the bathroom itself. (However, if you’re buying this expecting to do the full installation roomside, you’ll be disappointed. Only the fan and light can be swapped without attic access, but installing the box requires attic.) The installation was pretty straightforward and as-expected; I won’t go into the nitty-gritty of how awful working in my attic is or the troubles of replacing an ancient fan, but that’s not this fan’s fault. (Should caution, I have construction experience, and doing a first-time installation of this would not be a good job for the average DIYer.) Connection to existing 4” duct was easy. The tabs to place the fan with the correct drywall spacing were a nice touch. The unit only screws into a joist against one side, so I was worried during installation that it would sag and not sit level, but that hasn’t been an issue since the whole thing has been assembled. Installing electrical and fan were a breeze. The clips on the cover were annoying but to be expected. The cover has slight gaps against the drywall but I’m hoping it’ll settle into place over time. The light is super bright and the fan quality is superb - quiet and clears condensation from a large bathroom with ease without making the room feel cold or dry. Overall, this is an incredible fan that I would absolutely buy again, but my one caveat is that if I had bought it thinking I could do the entire installation roomside, I would’ve been disappointed. Update after a year: it’s definitely lost a lot of power (50% or so), so I’ll most likely have to replace the motor soon. Luckily, that process is pretty easy.

This exhaust fan is well built and extremely quiet. I'm not sure why some reviewers have said it was not that quiet? Relatively easy install but rest assured, you may have some minor issues when installing this in place of an existing fan. But take your time and it all comes together. The light is very bright and "white". The exhaust function works so well, that there is little to no steam on the mirror.

Nice quiet fan with good air flow. Light is bright but the plastic cover that it is mounted in is VERY poorly designed. Cover relies on two spring to hold it to the fan unit. Installing the cover is frustrating because you need to have the cover almost completely in position before the spring clips can be engaged. By that time you can no longer even see where the spring clips are supposed to be inserted in the fan housing. Even when finally in place they just barely hold the cover. Broan-NuTone needs to go back to the drawing board on this design. I'd give it a D-. Too bad because the rest of the unit is quite good.

As a contractor, I have to order these fans off Amazon cause nobody around me stocks them. I won’t install anything else in a customers home. High cfm super quiet, and super easy instal. Highly recommend

This bath fan was a excellent replacement to an older smaller hampton bay fan we previously had in the house. Though I did have to cut a little more drywall to install in the ceiling, the roomside installation made the process easy as there was no need to crawl around in the attic for the install. The difference in the noise between the two was night and day. The suction is excellent, with the door closed you can actually feel it drawing air from below the door, have very little issues with the kids turning the bathroom into a sauna (as long as they turn the guy on) The light works great as well, we currently only have a vanity light that used to be the only light source in the bathroom so with a darker shower curtain it could be a little dark in the shower, but not anymore this casts ample light from above. On another note I love the fact that the grating for the air is on the sides and not a slotted vent looking down as on the old one you could see up into the fan which looked pretty cheap, so now dont see anything up there but the square and the light. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a quality bath fan with a light that doesn't stand out and does the job.

Very nice quality and bright light. I was concerned that such a slit of light would be insufficient...it is a brilliant natural light . Happy with the purchase

Fan is louder than expected

Looks amazing and very quiet. The light is just right for my needs, Very happy with my purchase.

I wasn’t intentionally looking for an exhaust fan with a light but I’m so happy I got it! It really makes my bathroom brighter. It’s very quite and completely removes the steam from my 5’x7’ bathroom. Happy with my purchase!

We had it installed on a timer as it’s so quiet that you don’t notice it. We also had it installed so that the light and fan can be turned on separately. Nice, modern looking unit.

We installed this in our shower room. It is a single enclosed room with just a shower in it. The previous owners had a light in there with no fan and there was water damage on the ceiling. We had previous put in a light/fan combo that was more decorative but found it to be too dark so finding a better light was top on our list. This fan exceeded our expectations for light, it is bright! We're very happy with that. It also does a fantastic job of keeping the room from steaming up, by the end of a shower the room is so moisture free we don't have to leave the fan running. The kids hate it that it's not like a sauna when they step out anymore, but there will never be moisture damage again! Downside would be the fan is louder then we expected, but as long at it does it's job we're willing to overlook that. The other thing we found very annoying was how the cover attached to the fan box. The wires are tricky to get and slide into place and though the cover is up it won't sit straight or tightly to the ceiling. Overall we would buy this again purely for the quality of light and ventilation it provides in the room even with the downsides.

Easy to install, very well make

Fonctionne bien mais après deux-3 mois il a commencé à faire un bruit fort d'une dizaines de minutes au démarrage. Ça n'a pas cessé depuis.
