NuTone 50 CFM Wall/Ceiling Mount Exhaust Bath Fan-696N

Old fan went out, so I ordered this one as a direct replacement. The plastic cover part looks better than the old one. I used the existing housing. The internal part pops out easily. The old one came out easily. The new one went into the existing housing fairly easily- the existing housing is about 18 years old, so the designs are very slightly different. With a little force, it went in, and fits great. It is much quieter than the old version, and draws air about the same. I think it would have been better to use the new housing, but I did not want to spend the additional time and mess for minimal improvement.

The new unit replaced a "like" model that had been in place and functioning for almost 27 years. It was quiet and operated very efficiently. I would not think twice about purchasing additional units in the future.

It was an awesome fan and we used it for what we needed it for which was for our bathroom.

Very reasonably priced, installed easily by my handy man. Much quieter than the unit it replaced

I had to replace a 20 year old Bathroom exhaust fan. I'm this was the replacement part for it. It was easy to disassemble and take part with having a plug inside. To reinstall, I had to plug new the new unit and snap it back into place. Took 5 minutes.

My contractor just took out the fan motor and replaced the old one, since I live in condo. I'm not sure if I could have just purchased the fan motor. But all looked like nicely packed and well made.

It's alright. Loud, but if anything that gives me more privacy in the bathroom. I have a very small bathroom, so 50 cfm is more than enough. Installation took… about 10-15 minutes. After 6 years still takes power bill down from what it used to be. Versatile. I recommend this

Fan works as intended, but is too quiet and offers no privacy.

While this might work great at 50CFM to remove air in a windowless bathroom, it's not worth the trade-off in DEAFENING noise for residential applications. Our old one burned out (literally electrical wiring producing burning and smoke), and replaced with same new fan. The old motor was crusted with grey dust (which is probably why it failed) even though the grill was cleaned and vacuumed constantly, but probably why it was half the noise when we took residence. Additionally, we have to run the fan continuously to keep moisture out of the small bathroom for a high occupancy residence. Looking at the specs, this fan is NOT rated for continuous operation, so it will probably fail sooner than later. Would possibly benefit from not being tied to light switch. Additional comment on noise level in a small bathroom: I cannot hear anything outside of the bathroom even with the bathroom door wide open; I've been in pleasanter industrial environments (I would post the Db level if I had a meter.)

the wires were chewed on one was chewed into and got mold on and in the motor like it was under water .they give Walmart a very bad name and shouldn't be able to push their trash on people !!!
