From the Manufacturer In the midst of the Great Depression, two aggressive young men emerged with two new products that would make major contributions to the housing industry. In 1932, Henry Broan developed and manufactured a kitchen fan called the Motordor Fan that provided quiet and efficient kitchen ventilation. His creation launched what is today known as Broan-NuTone LLC. Four years later, in 1936, J. Ralph Corbett developed a melodious door chime replacing the obnoxious door buzzer of the time. His development launched what is today known as NuTone, Inc. Both men, headquartered in the Midwest, started their companies with a simple product and a few employees. Each expanded their companies, creating revolutionary new products that provided unmatched conveniences for homeowners nationwide. Both companies quickly became global competitors and continued to provide innovative, superior products to meet the needs of consumers. In 1981, Broan Mfg. Co., Inc. was acquired by Nortek, Inc. and became the lead company of Nortek's Residential Building Products Group, which was named the Broan Group. During this same time period, NuTone was sold to Scovill Manufacturing in 1967 and was then acquired by Williams plc in 1991. In 1998, Nortek acquired NuTone,

We purchased an older house that had no fan in the bathrooms. I purchased this one after looking at several. It was easy to install & exactly what I was looking for. The fan is about as loud as any other, so no complaints there. Very satisfied & will purchase another when I remodel my other bathroom!

Pros: light, compact. Easy install and hookupCons: Flimsy material. Cheap filter. Some planning needed if install is not in new constructionI purchased this item because it is one of two ductless bathroom fans that I could find on the market (the other is from Broan's NuTone line) and I needed to replace an existing 1960s fan that was never vented out . It seemed to be shipped in good condition. The product is pretty basic - fan, grille,and hardware. it says that a 7 1/4"x7 1/4" rough-in is required for install, but truthfully I needed a much bigger access hole to complete the installation. You will also need about 4" of height. A metal bracket is located and nailed into the ceiling joist. The fan housing is then snapped into the bracket. Position the bracket properly to allow for ceiling drywall thickness and electrical conduit access because the fan housing is not sturdy enough for multiple installs. Electrical access is via one of two punch outs- one in top corner of fan housing and one on side of housing. Take time to think how you will route the electric because I don't recommend knocking out both punch outs as this seemed to weaken the flimsy sheet metal fan housing and allow for distortion. This product doesn't have a light so wiring it up was a breeze (in my case a separate light fixture and this fan are ran from the same switch). I believe this fan works by recirculating air through a filter. The filters are supposed to last 60-90 days and can be ordered from the manufacturer. The filter is very thin on a very flimsy frame and is held in by a clip. The filter fit pretty snug and was in place when the fan was delivered, but after I popped out the punch outs and mounted the fan housing to my ceiling joist, it no longer fit and I had to bend the filter to get it in place (hence my previous comments on flimsiness). This fan is not meant to remove moisture from the air so DO NOT USE in full baths with tub/shower. I think ideal use is in a half bath/powder room in a part of the house with good ventilation. This fan is quieter than other fans I have used in the past, but still loud enough to mask the sounds of nature. Time will tell how long before the filters need to be switched out but since I am expecting low activity and minimal bomb droppage, I am targeting six months or more before changing.Note: the NuTone 682NT looks to be the exact same thing as the 682, but cost almost twice as much. Perhaps it is constructed from better materials or the grille is nicer.

Didn't want to spend alot of effort on this install so my bathroom light happened to be on the wall over the sink and on a stud. I cut a 7.5 inch square in the wall dryrock with one side on the stud higher than the light. Put a wire pigtail on exhaust fan and threaded it through the existing hole for the light. Attached fan box (drilled three holes in it) directly to the stud. Didn't need use that bracket that came with it. I think it would need larger opening in drywall to be able to slide box into bracket. That would be more work for those installing in existing room with finished drywall like I have. Put light back on and good to go! NO PATCHING OR PAINTING REQUIRED. I put a Febreeze car air freshener in it for better odor control.

I needed a bathroom fan for an older house without duct vents. Unfortunately, this is the fan that fits the need.This fan is the epitome of poorly designed cheap manufacturing. The metal housing is barely thicker than a soda can so it has sharp edges and doesn’t maintain its structure very well. The wire knockout on top of the housing didn’t have the screw hole drilled correctly so I had to drill it out myself before using that knockout. I didn’t see any wire nuts included in the package. Apparently they need to keep this in the budget category.The charcoal filter is carefully snapped into place and barely held by some subtle metal notches. The overall feel of this fan is not at all for anybody who takes pride in their living space.Due to the small size of the plastic plate, we also have to patch the old opening on three sides of this tiny little cheap fan.On the bright side, the fan does run as expected. And it doesn’t blow into the ceiling, which is the point of this design. I just wish they could make a higher quality version of this fan.

Installed in basement powder room. There’s no tub or shower, so we weren’t worried about moisture problems. We basically just needed something to mask the noise… if you know what I mean. 😉

C est une solution idéal pour une petite salle d'eau sans avoir percer le mur pour faire un conduit vers extérieur.

Ordered for my powder room to install since it has no air flow but sadly it has so small filter that it hardly do the job.

My basement bathroom did not have a fan. I put in some wall vents and installed this fan in the ceiling. Clears steam from the bathroom really fast.
