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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How often does filter need to be replaced?**
A: I had a hard time finding a reference to the filters ( 7 x 2-1/8 inches in size), so the replacement filter model number is Broan 97009563 (even for the Nu-Tone identical fan model 682NT)  and a package of 4 is available for around $12 at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076F8SRXY

However the filter material is pretty thin and the metal filter frame is pretty flimsy, I would just buy cut-to-size activated charcoal sheets and reuse the metal filter frame (with old charcoal cut out) to help hold the new charcoal sheet in place, like this example at around $12 with enough material for 48 replacement filters!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AESC8VW

**Q: Does this come with the adjustable sliding mount brackets as required for a suspended (drop) ceiling?**
A: No - it's designed to mount to a floor joist

**Q: Can this appliance be used in singapore? the voltage in singapore is 220v/240v, does it mean i need additional transformer?**
A: My guess would be "no". A 110v motor will burn-up instantly on a 220v circuit.

**Q: What size bathroom is this unit designed for?**
A: The size of the room doesn't really matter, sadly, because the fan is basically just for show. (It's duct-free and uses only a tiny filter screen for purported odor removal, so it's honestly pretty useless. It just lazily circulates the air inside the room without really processing it at all.) But if, like me, you have a bathroom that was built without any ductwork, then this at least offers a convincing illusion of an exhaust fan. :/

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works but noisy

Delivered on time. So far works well however is smaller than appears and is a bit noisy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you need ductless. This is the one
*by K***R on November 22, 2025*

I needed this fan for a bathroom that had a shallow ceiling and needed a duct free ventilation. It was exactly as stated on the add. The installation was simple. The noise level is very low and the suction quality is great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy solution for adding privacy rather than air circulation to half bath
*by M***C on September 11, 2015*

Pros: light, compact. Easy install and hookup Cons: Flimsy material. Cheap filter. Some planning needed if install is not in new construction I 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.
