There were limited options for a charcoal filter bathroom fan so I just took a chance on this one. It has light, cheap plastic and does not sound like a smooth fan. Sounds cheap and seems to be built cheap. Maybe there will be more quality options in the next few years? It does seem to function ok as far as deodorizing the room.

Broken on opening.
Metal hangers for securing faceplate to base are attached to faceplate by plastic clips. On one side, those clips were broken, and fell out of the box on opening. I secured the faceplate to the ceiling using two screws. Also, fan motor is tiny and does not seem to be very effective. In my opinion, a poorly designed product and basically a waste of money and time.

We appreciate that you took the time to provide your comments on the model 682NT. We would have been happy to provide you with the broken clips should you have contacted us directly. We are very sorry this happened and would have happily fixed this issue for you. Non-ducted models do not exhaust or move any air to the outside. They will recirculate the air through a charcoal filter and then back into the room. Should you have questions or concerns about the performance or function of this fan, please give our Technical Support team a call at 888-336-6151 for more assistance. Thanks again for your feedback and we look forward to speaking with you directly.

    easy instilation
    The exhaust fan was great wish there was more ways to mount but was easy to install. The fan was quiet as I hoped it would be. 5 stars!

    Did not fit existing hole in the ceiling. Will be returning the vent fan.
    I would recommend the product if you can be sure that it will fit within the existing dimensions required.

    Small and none intrusive
    Helped a lot for a bathroom that didn't have excising fan ducting. Allows for "bathroom privacy noise" and humidity.

      exactly what I needed
      this was easy to install and exactly what I needed for a lower level bathroom with no window or venting access. It moves the air well and is relatively quiet.

      Great Fan for small bathroom
      Quick and easy installation and wiring. Great for getting moisture and odor out of a smaller bathroom without duct access.

      fit my space
      I used this in a basement bathroom without outside access for venting. It installed easily and works well. Just wish it also had a light fixture with it.

        Very disappointing!!
        When my fan arrived, not only was it obvious that it had been opened, returned to the store and was re-taped shoddily, it looked like it was kicked around a bit. Upon opening the box I found the plastic vent cover cracked, the metal motor housing bent in and the instruction sheet missing!! You can look up in your records, I have spent 10's of thousands of dollars at your store: my purchase before this was a washer & dryer combo for over $2300.00! Frankly, I am thinking of switching over to another home improvement store, and honestly, wouldn't you? No customer should be treated this way. I would appreciate a response.

            OK exhaust fan
            This fan was rather easy to install (depending where the room is and available power source). I would only recommend for small bath room. A little on the noisy side but does the job in removing moisture and odors. Good fan for the price.

            Overall decent product
            There was a small crack, which I wasn't able to determine whether it was from the delivery service or if it came from the warehouse with that defect! Performance is still great

            A bit flimsy
            It is difficult to mount flush. The carbon filter is very small and seems to hang in there by a thread.

            Quiet fan
            A little tricky to install. Instructions weren't the best. Fan seems to work well.

            It serves the purpose I needed filled
            I have a bathroom in the middle of the first floor of a century+ farmhouse. I needed a solution that did not involve getting duct through floors and adjasent rooms and this fan fit the need. It is very quiet, so no worries it will sound like a jet taking off when turned on. A few concerns to consider, however. The wire connections are difficult to access without removing the fan assembly. Luckly, a couple screws and this is easily accomplished. The fan has a ground connection for the incoming line, but no gound for the actual fan. The fan actually plugs into the power assembly with a normal 2 prong plug. It's not even a polarized plug. Very disappointing. The plug between fan and power assembly is not tight. It is not likely to unplug on it's own given the fan does not vibrate, but I would have preferred at least a tight connection. The fan housing is SHARP. Have care when you work inside to connect the wires. Virtually every edge you have to work around is sharp. I had multiple abrasion by the time I was done. This fan is not a nice finished product. If you have the option to run duct, I would very much recommend going that route. That said, however, if you are like me and needed a solution for a room that does not lend itself easily to fan ducts, this fan will fit your need nicely.

            eliminates odors well
            this fan serves its purpose. without having a vent to get rid of odors, the charcoal filter removes that number 2 smell.
