"This fan made a huge difference in my bathroom—it’s much quieter, moves more air, and looks sleek. I didn’t realize how poorly my old fan was performing until I installed this one. Powering it up was a breeze, and now my bathroom clears steam so much faster."

"For the price, this is a fantastic upgrade. The sound is just right—not too loud—and it actually keeps my mirrors from fogging up after showers. Setup was pretty quick, although the cover was a tiny bit tricky due to a broken tab, but overall I’m satisfied."

"I had an electrician install this fan and it's been working great—super bright and really quiet, but still powerful. Honestly, it makes my bathroom look better overall. I'm very happy with it so far!"

"I installed the Broan-NuTone 678 Ventilation Fan and Light Combo, and it's been a huge improvement for humidity control and lighting. The fan runs quietly, fits well in my existing space, and the light brightens the whole room. Installation was straightforward—I'm really pleased with the value and performance!"

"I've installed countless Panasonic WhisperFit fans, and nothing else matches their quiet performance and easy installation.

Pairing it with a humidistat has truly transformed bathroom air quality, eliminating mold and moisture issues. This fan has become a staple in my business for its consistent reliability and whisper-quiet operation."

"After replacing seven builder-grade fans with Panasonic models across two homes, I can confidently say these are the best retrofit fans for homeowners.

"As a professional electrician, I've put in a ton of exhaust fans, but this Amico 80 CFM really impressed me. The low profile fit is perfect for 2x6 framing, which is a common challenge on jobs, and the solid metal construction feels very durable right out of the box. It's ultra-quiet—just enough background noise to know it's running, but not disruptive at all. Installation was straightforward and the final result looked great and moved plenty of air. I'd highly recommend this for tight spaces or shallow joists."

"I accidentally bought the full unit instead of just the motor and fan for my replacement job, but in the end, installation only took about 20 minutes and it fit perfectly in my old spot. It's much quieter and moves air faster than my old fan, plus it looks a lot nicer. For the price, it's a great buy."

"The product is super quiet and works well, but I found retrofit installation tough—getting the motor back in was tricky and I needed a screwdriver with a screw retainer. Still, once in, it's a great upgrade from my old fan."

"I'm honestly impressed with how quiet this fan runs compared to my old one—I barely notice it’s on! It clears out the steam from my showers quickly and the light is bright without being overwhelming. I hesitated at the price, but now I see it’s totally worth it for daily use and mold prevention. The installer had no trouble putting it in, and it looks great in my bathroom. Highly recommended if you want a reliable, quiet fan!"

"The installation was straightforward and it fit perfectly in my smaller bathroom space. What stands out is that it’s nearly silent but still moves a lot of air—no more foggy mirrors! The build quality feels solid and there’s no rattling. This fan has made a big difference in comfort, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, efficient bathroom fan."

"I needed a vent fan for a tight space and this was the answer. The selectable CFM feature is fantastic—50 and 80 settings are so quiet we actually set it to 100 for a bit of privacy noise. Installation was easy if you’re handy, but the duct’s oval shape made things a bit tricky. All in all, if you need a low-profile fan for a small cavity, this is a great pick."

"I replaced my old bathroom fan with this unit and noticed a huge difference in moisture control and noise level. The LED light is extremely bright, and most days I don’t even bother turning on the main lights. The heater warms up instantly, though it’s a bit louder than I expected. Installation was tricky since my wiring was hard to access, but with some planning, it worked out well."

"As an installer, I found this product to be an excellent all-in-one bathroom solution. My customer was thrilled with the heating, ventilation, and lighting functions. Customer service was very helpful and provided the exact part number I needed for my switch. Definitely worth the investment."

"I’ve noticed a big improvement in airflow and room comfort since installing this register booster fan. It’s impressively quiet and fits my vent perfectly. The WiFi app is simple to use, and I love being able to switch between manual and automatic modes on my phone. The thermostat feature has really helped balance the temperature in my room. Overall, it’s a well-designed, effective device and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone dealing with weak airflow."

"In my home with lots of windows, the HVAC always struggled during extreme weather. After getting two of these fans, there’s a clear difference in airflow and comfort—and noise is minimal. Installation was a breeze, and the speed control is easy to adjust. Even my daughter manages hers from her phone with no issues. Best of all, utility costs haven’t noticeably increased. I think it’s a great value and would recommend it to anyone with uneven heating or cooling."

"This smart vent fan was easy to install and instantly made my son’s room more comfortable. He runs hot, but now he feels cooler and enjoys the extra airflow. I appreciate the digital display and how quiet it runs. It’s made a significant difference for both of us and we’re both happy with the purchase."

"Our master bedroom has always been hard to cool due to a long, winding duct run, and running the central fan constantly drove our power bill up. After installing this vent booster, our room stays 8-10°F cooler—even during extreme heat—and our power bill actually dropped by about $50 a month. The noise is a bit noticeable at the highest settings, but it’s manageable and even acts as pleasant white noise while sleeping. The Bluetooth app makes adjustments super easy. In short, this product has exceeded my expectations and I absolutely recommend it to anyone with airflow issues."

"I’ve struggled for years with a cold master bedroom that always felt 10+ degrees colder than the rest of the house, especially with vaulted ceilings and only a single 4” duct. This register booster was easy to install and program, and has transformed the room—it’s now warm and comfortable, within a couple degrees of the thermostat setting. I no longer need heating blankets. The noticeable increase in vent airflow was a pleasant surprise. The fan is a bit loud on the highest setting, but I actually don’t mind it since I’m used to running box fans at night. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone needing better room airflow."

"I used this to cool my PC inside a cabinet and it’s worked flawlessly. Feels well-built and durable, and the included remote or automatic temperature activation gives you complete control. Highly satisfied with the performance and reliability."

"This genuine Broan vent cover was super simple to install—just a few seconds—and the spring clips held it securely. I’m very satisfied with the improved look of my ceiling vent in my new home."

"Our bathroom fan cover was an outdated beige, but this new one is a crisp white and instantly modernized the space. It was easy to clip into place and fit perfectly where the old one was."

"After extensive research, I decided on this fan for its balance of quality and affordability. The quietness blew me away—sometimes I wonder if it's even on. It completely eliminates steam, leaving my mirror clear even after hot, steamy showers. The bright light makes my bathroom feel open and clean, perfect for makeup and daily routines. Installation took a bit longer due to the instructions, but overall, it's a game changer that I've already recommended to friends and family."

"I'm really impressed by how quiet this fan is compared to my old one. It looks nice, and even though the installation instructions could be better, it wasn’t too difficult to figure out. The suction is strong and it does a great job of clearing the air. I'll definitely be using this fan in my other bathrooms."

"The ventilation is powerful and silent, and the lighting is just right for our needs. Installation was straightforward, though the vent doesn't sit totally flush with the ceiling, but that's just a minor detail. Overall, it's a great value for the price and keeps our bathroom mirror fog-free."
