Bathroom fan 50 CFM, 1.0Sone DC Motor with No Attic access Needed Installation,Very Quiet Ventilation and Exhaust Fan, Ceiling Mounted Fan, White

If your fan is old and loud and driving you nuts, this is the way to go. It's whisper quiet and does a great job drawing out the steam.

I purchased two of these fans as an update from the noisy exhaust fans that were original to my home. I’m rating as a 4 star within my comment because strangely as it sounds they are extremely quiet which makes me question the effectiveness. It’s a preference too have a bit of noise especially for my half bath that is central to the hub of my home.

My house is around 20 years old, and the original Braun fans were getting old and noisy. Since I have existing construction and the four fans in my house are near impossible to get at due to their placement under decade's old insulation, I decided to purchase some replacement fans that could be replaced without having to get in the attic. The Tech Drive bathroom fan, at first glance, checked my boxes: I needed something easily installed, and I wanted something quieter than the jet engines that were the Brauns. They were about 20 dollars more expensive than the Brauns, but if they were quiet and easily installed, it would be worth it. I bought 4. The first two were installed without issue. The hardest part was having to partially disassemble the Tech Drive fans so they could be installed without having to get into the attic or crawl space. But I got them installed, turned them on, and glorious quiet! These fans are significantly quieter than the Braun fans I had before. Probably 1/3rd of the noise of the Brauns. My kids noticed immediately, they thought the new fan wasn't working because they couldn't hear it. With the Brauns, I could pretty much hear them running just about anywhere in the house. With the Tech Drive fans, I had to be right next to the door of the bathroom they were installed in. Super pleased. Went to install the third fan, and unfortunately, I was met with an issue. The little door that sits inside the plastic exhaust had broken off the pivot. I didn't notice until I got the fan installed and turned it on. It was really loud and I could feel air blowing back into the room from it. That's when I disassembled everything again and discovered the broken door. Bummer... Had to take the whole assembly down, box it back up, and return it. Fortunately I had the fourth fan, so I put it in instead and it worked fine. But now I'm short a fan. Amazon is awesome as usual and is sending me a replacement without a problem. Bottom line is, these fans are really nice. They are quiet and easy to install. My only issue was the broken exhaust door, and the reason why I left four stars instead of five.

I'm glad when a hunch pays off. The dimensions on both are nearly exact. Not only that, but the orientation of the snail vent aligns perfectly with the Broan vent opening. All you have to do is remove the internal outlet connector and firmly but gently rip out the circular collar. It can easily press fit into the housing. At most you will need to source three 3 inch or 4 inch self tapping metal screws to permanently affix the fan into the existing housing and some duct tape to close up any minor gaps. I don't know if the designers had retrofitting in mind when they made this, but it's fantastic. The noise level is much much quieter than the original 4.0 sone Broan. You can still tell there is a running fan from 30 feet away with the door open and an EMPTY house, but it absolutely doesn't sound like the Broan blender it replaced.

Increíble lo bien que funciona lástima que no pueda mostrar un video porque no estoy en casa. Recogerlo todo el vapor de el baño lo recomiendo

Installation was fairly normal. The only difficulty to do with the fan itself is that the plastic fan housing has to be removed to install, and it's a VERY tight fit into the metal box. The box itself is thin and easily distorted when slipping it into place, so it took multiple tries and re-bending of the mounting tabs to get the plastic housing back into the box. If you can mount from above the ceiling, you may not have to remove the housing and then that won't be an issue. But once installed, it's fine. I'm not sure if the "Sones" rating is accurate; I haven't used a sound meter on it but I'm positive this fan is not as quiet as a bathroom fan I installed a couple of years ago, even though it has a quieter rating. But it's not objectionably loud, just louder than expected.

This was super quiet. It took a bit to get it installed, but this time was all taking the old one out. The screws were in some hard to reach spots, so ended up cutting the old one out to get this in place. Totally worth the extra cost for the quieter fan, our last one was super noisy, and this one can't really be heard outside the bathroom.

As advertised. A+
