Broan-NuTone Bathroom Exhaust Fan, Easy Install, Powerful 110 CFM, Quiet 1.0 Sones, Energy Star

The Broan-NuTone AE110 Invent Flex ENERGY STAR Qualified Single-Speed Ventilation Fan has truly made a difference in my home. This sleek white fan not only looks great in any bathroom, but it also performs exceptionally well. With a CFM rating of 110 and a sones rating of just 1.0, it efficiently removes excess moisture and odors, leaving my bathroom feeling fresh and clean. What sets this fan apart is its flexibility. It's easy to install and can be used in various locations throughout the house, not just in the bathroom. The energy-efficient design is a big plus, as it helps save on electricity bills while still delivering powerful ventilation. I've had other ventilation fans before, but the Broan-NuTone AE110 stands out for its performance and reliability. It operates quietly, so it doesn't disrupt the peace and quiet in my home. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this product, and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable ventilation solution.

Just what I wanted: very quiet, good power, easy to install (in our case). We were replacing a noisy one, wanted to avoid too much drywall removal and retention of existing venting. Fortunately were able to use the new unit's installation brackets spacing and found a reducer to connect to existing vent line. Grill fit our space with barely a 1/4" space to nearby wall. The spring-like metal grill connections needed a bit of bending to ensure close fit with ceiling - easy enough to do.

This fan was to replace a 1960 bathroom NuTone fan that failed. Very sadly, a replacement motor wasn't available, but I went with another Broan / NuTone, anyway. After the very laborious install, I was not in mind to give this a good review. It is not easy for a replacement of a retro. Don't expect this to be as easy or an install without access into the attic. When ordering, the 80 CFM fan was not available, so I paid extra for this 110 CFM version. Now for why 4 stars instead of 1. First, the fan-assembly is a sealed unit, which snaps well into the metal housing. It's a good design which should help the longevity and make replacement easy. That is if they keep a replacement forever (shame on them if they don't, since additive manufacturing should allow them to & keep it inexpensive) Secondly, the fan works so well. It is quiet, even though one can hear it to know if it is on. At 110 CFM it really clears out the moisture. I only need about 67 CFM and am happy with the extra umph. As a new install, I would highly recommend this fan. As a replacement, expect a significant job, but know it will be worth the effort. Just really pay attention to details as you install (which fortunately I did). The only other comment is in regards to how the cover is attached - really poor design.

This fan does not have brackets that are anchored into the ceiling joists and slide thru the housing. This housing is screwed directly to the joists which makes for an easier installation IMO. I was replacing a smaller fan do I needed to cut some sheetrock, but I was unable to position the housing where I could use the brackets at designed. I ended up bending one bracket 90 deg and screwing it to a joist. The other bracket is unattached to anything. I then put some screws thru the frame into the joists on two sides and it's very solid. The wiring is very straightforward, but they do not supply any wire nuts which is kind of annoying. I reused the nuts for the white and black wires, but the neutral had been connected to a screw in the previous housing, so I had to go dig up a wire nut to connect the ground. The fan pops in and out of the housing easily. I did have a heck of a time connecting my semi-rigid duct to the outlet. They are both exactly 4", so that ended up being the most aggravating part of the entire install. After I taped up the duct connection, I taped up the gaps between the sheetrock and the housing, installed the cover, and turned on the fan. It's not silent, but it's much quieter than the fan it replaced and not noticeable with any background noise at all. Pros: Easy installation - Screws directly to joists Easy fan removal/install into housing Fairly quiet Cost Cons: No wire nuts or any hardware at all (minor) Fan outlet is exactly 4" as the duct will be. 3.9 inches would have made a significant difference (minor)

We purchased this to replace a very cheap builder's junk fan in our 2nd bath. This thing is oh so much better all the way around - it's quieter, more powerful and it's white (not like the old 'yellowed' one we had). We will definitely be buying another for our main bath (yes, that one, too, is builder's junk).

Over the years the two original brands established themselves as building contractor choices for economical, noisiest, longest running fan units. This order replaced a 40 year-old original builder unit. Installation was a challenge as the builder chose a very restricted ceiling location. Both attic space and fan housing mounts had to be modified for a fit of this larger, higher-volume model. Lower noise and increased flow are welcome improvements. Will it last 40 years? I won't be around to find out.

I purchased this fan because I trust the Broan brand based on previous use. The fan is working great, removing moist air and keeping mirrors condensate free. And it is so quiet—1 sone. Think we must have had a 6 some before—but then it was 40 years old. The only thing I don’t like has nothing to do with the fan—but with the seller, Amazon. I feel that I was taken advantage of. I put the fan in my cart at a price of $97.15. Because I had no idea of what to look for in a fan. I reviewed several tutorials to understand the major points. I then sent the information, specs, & installation guide to the electrician to confirm that my choice was appropriate for the room size and task. The electrician didn’t get back to me immediately. When he confirmed that the new fan was an excellent fan and appropriate, I went back to Amazon, but the price had increased to ~$109.50 I went ahead and ordered it anyway. But after I placed my order and looked back a little later, the price dropped back to $97.15. That’s what the price is today i.e. $97.15. So Amazon increased the price because it was in my cart awaiting the electrician’s confirmation of appropriateness .

Very quiet, easy to install.

Easy installation, good draw. Noise wise, its a fan people, fans move air, air movement makes some noise. I'd say for the amount of air it moves, it's quiet.

facile a installer , silencieuse

Buen producto

Not as quiet as I had hoped for but better than my previous one. It does the job!

Buena calidad, el ventilador produce un flujo adecuado con bajo nivel de ruido.
