It is much better than the competitor we purchased for a previous house. It is a bit noisy, but not overly so. If you are looking for a completely quiet fan this one may not be for you, however if noise is not a major factor for you, and this one is not bad just not as quiet as some, I would highly recommend this product. The heat is an awesome feature which is especially nice in the winter.

Easy to install but only because I could access attic. Otherwise, not for existing construction. A little loud but not extreme. Heat lamp makes bathroom cozy and eliminates drafts.

The heater fan died on our old Air King. Bought this model to replace the exact same older model that was already in the house. The older model was quieter and put out more heat. Still a decent buy just not as good as the old one.

We were replacing a very loud unit of the same size and were able to reuse the box. Super easy to install with two people. This fan is so quiet that you have to really listen to hear it from 15 ft away. Would definitely buy again!

The unit seems to be removing moisture from the air well. Areas of concern are 1. the noise level which is significantly louder than that of our previous unit and 2. when looking up at the unit, a person can see everything on the inside of the unit whereas our previous unit cover was designed so that the contents were not easily visible. 3.against a white ceiling, the cover color is beige not white.

Not quite as quiet as I’d hoped, but still quieter than most of its class. Installation slightly fidgety, but not especially hard. Would buy again.

Only had the 2 heater/fan/light combo in and using for 1 week now but fan is a lot more powerful then previous and a little quieter as well. Have not used the heaters yet so to early to tell on that part. The light is a little simmer then I would like to have. But overall I believe it is a very good unit.

This was a good value with a lot of features. You can wire up each function separately or all together on one switch. Attractive too.

You need attic access to install. The fan rattled made lots of noise. I had to remove the motor take it apart and put a gasket around the edge to stop the rattle. The blower is not well balanced. The brackets that mount the fan are not adequate. I had to run straps up to roof rafters to support the device. Unless you are handy at solving issues. Don't buy it. Ultimately I was able to make it work

noisy blower not well balanced rattles
Bought this fan for bathroom exhaust of excess humidity. I installed this with some issues. Once installed the blower rattled and vibrated quite a bit. The blower was not well balanced and the side panel of the motor rattled. I had to pull apart the blower and place a foam strip around the motor mount to stop the rattle. Very painful. I would look for something else other than this product. the design is not well thought out

    The fan was loose in its housing and not centered. Therefore it made an unacceptable amount of noise. After considerable adjustment and additional rubber spacers and some tape, it finally began working correctly
