Broan QTR080 Ultra Silent Bath Fan, 1.0-Sones 80 CFM Review

Broan QTR080 Ultra Silent Bath Fan, 1.0-Sones 80 CFM

We installed this fan in our upstairs bathroom. We tested it when we first got it fixed to the ceiling joists and wired. It was very quiet. So nice. But then we attached the vent pipe and piped it out the side of the house. It is only a six foot run, one 45 degree turn and one 90. Suddenly the fan rattled and groaned as if it were 30 years old. We ended up taking out the internal flap and are trusting the wimpy little external vent flaps to stop back drafts in the winter. That helped the noise. But it is still disappointingly fragile sounding with some rattles and speed variations. Two stars.

Broan Model 657 Fan/Light 70 CFM 4.0 Sones, White Grille Review

These are very good products, but they're designed for install in bare studs, not really to replace and existing fan unless you removed sheetrock and took out the houseing from the old fan. The great thing about it, however, is that I just took the new parts out of this one and they fit right into the old houseing. Very cool. Problem? They don't sell the guts individually so you have to buy the whole thing and then you're left with a metal sqare to recyle.

Broan 655 Heater and Heater Bath Fan with Light Combination Review

as a result of doing major home renovations for the last 6 months, i ended up spending quite a bit of time researching all the products and appliances i had to install... so hopefully this will save you some time and headache. i ultimately needed two bathroom fans with heaters for one medium sized full bathroom, and a small half bathroom in my DC rowhouse. and since the bathroom fans had to be installed inside my ceiling, i wanted to make ABSOLUTELY SURE that i didnt have to EVER dig back into my ceiling drywalls to repair or replace.
well, after weeks of agonizing and reading review after review on site after site, i settled on a Panasonic FV-11VH2 WhisperWarm for the full bath, and am SOOOOO happy i did. it was definitely rated for a larger bathroom than mine, and is slightly more expensive than i wanted, but is SUPER quiet (both heat and fan), unintrusive, and does the jobs perfectly. just note that the heat isnt mindblowing, but does a great job if you live in an older house without central like mine, and there's no heat at all in the bathrooms.... a great help while soaking in the bathtub, also if you turn the heat on 15 mins or so earlier on cold mornings with the door closed before going in to brushing your teeth or showering in the am. im so glad i bought it, and wish i bought two! [truth be told, my electrician claimed that the Panasonics were the best from the start, but im still skeptical by nature so i researched extensively anyways. save yourself the trouble.]
for the smaller half bathroom, i regret deciding to spend less, and expect less. my rationale was that the bathroom was so small, was only a half bath, and i wasnt planning on really spending any time in there. however, i did want a heater because it's on a cold wall and FREEZING in the winter. anyways, after reading a ton about lower priced models for smaller bathrooms, i bought this "Broan 655 Heater and Heater Bath Fan with Light Combination" and am SUPER disappointed. it's SUPER LOUD and vibrates like CRAZY in the ceiling both in fan mode as well as heat mode as well as both modes. it does work and does get rid of the stink though, and has a heater as well, though it doesnt really put out much at all (lame even in this super small half bath). i suppose it's better than nothing.... Don't be fooled by the high Amazon.com Sales Rank like i was! spend a bit more and get a better unit. you wont be sorry.
[NOTE- im just a homeowner, do not work for either company, and ive posted this same review on both the Panasonic item i bought as well as this one.]
