  • Works exactly as you'd expect. Great as a drop in to existing old housing if compatible
Style: 50 CFM Energy Star Size: 2.0 Sones
My 25 year old broan 50CFM 4.0 was failing, so it was time to replace. I made sure this one fit into the existing housing, so installation was a breeze. It really is a lot quieter at 2.0, if you use the fan to cover the sound of you taking a dump you might want to go louder. But I prefer a quieter fan. Apparently it is more energy efficient as well while still pulling out the same air, but I could find no information as to power usage. i've had this for some months now and no issues at all. If I had to complain, it looks like the new cover design may restrict airflow a bit, but at only 50CFM, its likely not. ... show more

  • Fit Perfectly!
Our house was built in 1989 and has 3 bathrooms with ventilation fans. I highly suspect those fans have NEVER been replaced. I looked at the fan cover and saw the name brand "Broan" and took a chance ordering this replacement fan. It worked like a charm! I removed the fan from the outside housing and only installed the internal fan. I removed the old fan in the master bath that had gotten severely clogged and rusted and refused to turn anymore. The outside housing in the ceiling is severely rusted, but still holding well. Replacing the entire unit would involve a full bathroom reno, which we aren't ready to do just yet. I vacuumed out all the dust and installed the new fan inside the previous fan's housing. It was simple, easy to do, doesn't even involved shutting off the power to the bathroom, and worked like a charm. It fits perfectly, and we have a working bathroom fan again! I ordered two more to replace the fans in every bathroom. ... show more

  • Speed
Style: 50 CFM Energy Star Size: 2.0 Sones
The Broan-NuTone 688E is a quiet and efficient bathroom exhaust fan, earning its Energy Star rating. Its 50 CFM airflow is suitable for smaller bathrooms, effectively removing moisture and odors. Installation is generally straightforward, and the low sone rating (2.0) makes it pleasantly quiet during operation. While basic, it's a reliable choice for those seeking a cost-effective and efficient bathroom fan. ... show more

  • Dependable brand, powerful, with standard noise level - which I like
Style: 70 CFM Size: 6.0 Sones
Recently one of my bathroom fans started to have issues. I had not replaced the fans for almost 20 years, so I wasn't surprised. All of my fans were made by Broan and since they lasted such a long time, i decided to get new Broan fans. Thankfully, I found the Broan-NuTone 671 at a very good price and bought several of these as replacements. Installation was easy and straightforward. The only issue was removing the old fans which required a dusk mask, and goggles (they were really dusty). Once the 671 was installed it worked as advertised. It is a "noisy" fan as one would expect, and it is not "quiet" at all. But I prefer this because it masks a person's "activities" while in the bathroom. Performance is very good - it clears the moisture from the air faster than my old fans for sure. Lastly, the vent cover of the fan can easily be opened for maintenance (like dust cleaning). This fan is a good choice for something inexpensive, reliable, and straight-froward. ... show more

  • Needed a fan that would suck up the bad smells.
So this fan is super easy to install (you really don't need an electrician for this) good enough noise to block out those awkward sounds, and has been working great for the past month. When my old fan broke it reminded me how much I miss the sound when sitting in the toilet, also made me realize how much I needed the air to be sucked out. Thank you for making my bathroom liveable. ... show more

  • I can't believe this thing works, but it does!!
The media could not be loaded. For the price, this is an amazing deal. I bought one on sale and expected to return it. I simply did not trust a fan at that low of a price. I was so impressed with the first one, I bought a second at full price, which was still less than 20% of the price of any other comparable bathroom fan. It is a little bit loud, but that white noise is half the reason iI use a bathroom fan, honestly. So, it's perfect. I now have one in each of my bathrooms and i could not be happier. I am thinking about buying a couple more just in case they wear out quickly, but I've had the first one running for over a month and it's still working as it did on day 1. Great fan for an unbelievably low price. If you need one, buy this one! ... show more

  • Not a slip-out.....slip-in replacement
I wanted to replace a same-make bathroom ceiling fan installed when house new(2001) because of sometimes noisy operation sounds. I am 81 years old and not mechanically inclined. Couldn't get model # of old fan but nominal dimensions same as this new one and some reviews indicated 20 year old new builder-furnished & installed with no problem using this new fan. Some reviewers mentioned 15, 30 minute, no problem installation as replacement. MY EXPERIENCE: took out old fan(easy)..I had hoped housing would not need replacement..but fan/housing too big for old housing. The installation requires in my case climbing in attic thru garage-placed trap door with extension ladder, finding fan, removing nails from joists holding unit to prevent excessive vibration, removing housing assembly/fan motor assembly, cutting slightly larger hole in ceiling sheetrock, fitting & nailing new unit in and plugging unit in and turning it on to see if works. At my age climbing ladder in 10.5 ft garage height, crawling across catwalk boards on the attic floor 2/3 of the length of house, removing blown-in insulation, etc. easily discouraged me. I kept the 2 fans I ordered for a handyman installation next time I need a service call for several problem fixes. I cleaned the old fan assemblyy & housing and this solved the problem--for a while. I think the fans this company make are high quality, especially for the money. ... show more
