    Well designed

    Though I did not install this unit in a closed wall/ceiling, it looks like it would be very easy to do; I recently replaced the motor in an old bathroom unit that is nearly identical to this and that replacement motor cost more than this whole unit. The effort to engineer a quality affordable product is evident. It's lightweight at 3.5 lbs, moves a surprising amount of air (rated 50 CFM) and sound level is noticeable but not annoyingly loud. For my application (venting a tiny greenhouse), it doesn't move quite enough air so I've ordered an 80 CFM unit (at considerably higher cost). I considered just buying/installing a 2nd one of these but the 80 CFM unit I ordered runs on 1/3 the electricity of one of these and, for a bonus, is quieter, too. For venting a small space on a tight budget, I think this is a quality product at an incredible price!

    NOTHING SOLAR ABOUT IT

    My search was for solar powered exhaust fans. This product appeared to fit my need and it was ordered. Inspection of the product revealed there was absolutely NOTHING SOLAR POWERED about this product. It is a typical electrical plug in-ceiling bathroom type exhaust fan. It is a good value and quality bathroom electrically powered exhaust fan if that is what you need.

  • easy

    this fan was purchased to replace 25 year old broan fans that were still working, but made a LOT of noise. I was concerned that 4 sones may not be any quieter than what i had, but it is SO much quieter. Installation was quick and simple, didn't have to install the entire box, just unplug the old fan, put in the new fan and pop on the new cover, could not have been easier!

  • Smaller fan, Easy to install , Great affordable price

    Small exhaust fan ,however this fan is well constructed, the directions are informative and easy to follow. The electrical connection,, black wire to black, white with white, and ground to ground, all with cap wire ties, was very easy. Turn of power before this step. The fan has a 3'' vent connection, easy to use a 3'' adapter if needed. Surprised at the power of this fan ,,efficiency, style and a most affordable price. Very happy with our new fan.

  • Cost less than buying replacement parts

    Great buy. Cannot believe that this cost less than buying replacement parts, and the internal parts will fit existing fans made 20 years ago.

  • Not expensive and lasts forever.

    I have bought a second unit for my basement bathroom. This unit is a little bit noisier than some, but I like the fan noise. No one wants to be heard going to the bathroom... also it's nice and high powered. I recommend to anyone on a budges and wants a good vent for their bathroom or any room for that matter!

  • Easy and works - so far!

    This was a good easy to use adhesive / glue which dries invisible and although I have not used it much (a vintage litttle jug spout) it seems very firm and I have used hot water on it and so far so good!

  • Little workhorse

    Just now replacing one of these after 20 years of hard use. During those 20 years, I took the fan component out a couple of times a year and cleaned all the dust off and oiled. Put it back in and it ran like new. After 20 years, the shaft is wearing and it wobbles making it noisy. Inexpensive replacement.

  • Good quality replacement, better than the newer versions

    purchased to replace motor in a condo unit that built in the fan so completely that you cannot remove the fan as it is mounted without ruining the ceiling. worked like a charm but required a bit of retrofitting p.s. you can't do this with the replacement models because the motor is now 'plastic' - this one is in a metal mount
