Good enough for a hallway bathroom exhaust. A smaller diameter (3") for exhaust hose. But also a smaller height so it can fit in smaller spaces.

It was pretty easy to install. I did have to get into the attic to hook up the hard pipe vent. It is nice to have the option to connect into an existing flex pipe if one was there previously. Owners are very happy.

This is described as a replacement for the former Nutone 8814R unit. It definitely is not, and costumers should know this. It will not fit in the same space. Nutone is now owned by Broan and the products are different.

Installation was pretty easy for a retrofit. Appears to be a good quality unit. The fan is a bit louder than expected but not bad. There is a slight design flaw- one the springs that hold the fan grille cover does not clear the electrical connection located cover within the unit housing and h

do you like rattling raspy noise coming from your fan? we didn't think so. also, it's not as powerful as you might think. not impressed with the "quiet" - it isn't. not impressed with the representative telling us how powerful the fan is - in our opinion, it isn't. 1 star and would like to return this item.

We appreciate your review on the AN110 ventilation fan. This model is rated at 110 cfm's with 3.0 sones. It should be ducted using a 4" round duct size and we do recommend rigid, metal ducting. Elbow or bends and the length/type of the duct run can affect the performance of the unit. Please contact our Technical Support directly at 888-336-6151 so we can help you more with your unit. It does come with a parts warranty when you purchase the unit. We thank you for your feedback and look forward to helping you with the sound and performance.

    Simple installation, very solid and sleek looking. I sized it to the small bathroom size 40sq ft., and wanted large enough to handle the shower steam. This will be an efficient powerful fan that will serve this bathroom very well. Nutone is my favorite fan company hands down.

    Installed this one because of the smaller footprint required. It's a decent fan, but it's noisy. Replaced the flexible ducting with a section of rigid duct immediately out the fan but no improvement.

    Low noise level and suitable cfm for a small bath fan. Well made, good instructions, easy install. I purchased this bath fan for a remodeled bath. The install was completely done without having to enter the attic. The toughest part of this project was cutting the ceiling to size.

    Quiet motor and relatively easy installation. The grill plate seems a little flimsy and the hinges to hold it in place are cumbersome.
