Broan-NuTone AE110L Ventilation Fan with LED Light and Roomside Installation, ENERGY STAR Certified, 110 CFM 1.0 Sones White

I replaced all four 20-year-old Broan fans in my 2-story house.This unit seems 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 is 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 staple was pulled out.I installed all of my fans without going into the attic, which is essential for several of the fans.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.In two cases I needed to screw on a foot-long piece of wood (2” x 2” or 23/32” x 5.5”) to provide a large enough flat surface for the mounting bracket/housing wall.For these retrofit installations, I folded the mounting brackets against the housing (as instructed) and put about 5 short drywall or deck screws through the housing wall into the stud or I-beam to mount the housing.Be sure to watch the installation videos on Amazon and YouTube before installing.I used 2” 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 leastInstalling 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.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.

It looks extremely good for my bathroom. The light is very bright. Fan is pretty quiet. Very good fan compared to other fans.

It is a nice unit and easy to install minus the cover springs.Suggestions: Make a 4000k light swap available. Make the LED dimmable.

I made the mistake of purchasing this fan which was intended for a much larger bathroom. I believe a fan with a lower CFM would have been even quieter, although this fan is so much quieter than the one I replaced there is no comparison.I had to substantially modify the mounting hardware for this to work due to replacing an existing fan with different dimensions. Lots of cutting and riveting on of new brackets.It took some time and effort to get it wired up so the fan and light were controlled with a single switch. I don't know if it was me, or if the instructions and schematic were unclear. I would buy this fan again.

Nice powerful fan. Installation was easy. The noise level is minimal. When you're talking bathroom fans, Broan is it.

Easy yo install as a replacement fan. I wish there would be more room to tuck all the wires in place.

Very nice unit, perfect fit for my bathroom space, very good price, very quiet and efficient. Highly recommend this product.

This is louder than my old fan. I question the sone rating.
