    Piece of junk!
    The fan motor only lasted 14 months and then v=burned out completely from filed bearings. For $129.00 from Home Depot, I expected this thing to last. Will never buy another one.

    Blower motor not strong for long
    I replaced this in my house after we moved in, after about a year the motor has gotten very loud and no longer does a good job pulling the humidity. I tried the toilet paper test to see if it could hold 1 sheet of toilet paper and it doesn't. Would not recommend. I am not happy with my purchase at all. Only thing that still works good is the light, that's why I gave it one star.

    Thank you for taking the time to review your new fan and light purchase. We are sorry to learn of the issues you have recently experienced. We would recommend trying the 'smoke' test as opposed to the toilet paper test. It is a much better indicator of whether or not your fan is pulling the air out of the room. Our Technical Support Department would be happy to offer you some suggestions and assistance at 888-336-6151. Please give them a call when it is convenient for you. We look forward to speaking with you directly.

    Kind of tricky to install but worth it. Love the round design

    Great Fan
    We put this fan in back in 10/2001. It has worked great for over 14 years even with all the powder it sucks up. We clean it and it works just as good. It is a little loud but it does it job. The noise is not a problem.

We are thrilled that you took the time to share your experience with us. We hope you will enjoy your fan and light for many more years!

      Bath Fan
      The night light is a nice feature. The fan is way too noisy, the longer it is on the noisier it gets. I would not recommend this fan.

      This was a replacement from our original that was installed 15 years ago
      It lasted a long time before the fan died and it was much easier to reinstall same size and model. Lighting is good but a bit noisy. The noise doesn't bother me but might want to keep that in mind. Good product that lasts long time..

        Great HIGH VOLUME FAN
        If you have a bathroom that steams up, then the high volume of this fan will surely help. Other reviews complain about the noise - but this fanis a wind tunnel compared to the quiet low volume fans that they are replacing. You cannot have High CFM'S (volume) and low zones (noise). I love this fan. It helps keep down the steam from the teenagers long showers. Quickly vents the bathroom after those STINK BOMBS !

        convient to install
        Product is easy to install and seems to be built to last. Haven't had long enough for a better reviews. so far happy with the purchase had other Nu Tone products and no problems so I expect this to be the same results. U would not expect anything else from Nutone

        Multiple features
        This particular item was an exact replacement for what I already had so it worked perfectly for me. Not very quiet but an easy swap as all the wiring was already in place.

          Good purchase so far
          It appears to work okay. But it hasn't really been used yet. It went up okay, but I wouldn't say it was easy. It was time consuming. There is not much there for the money we paid.

          Serves its purpose
          Internal fixture mount was ok but the plastic cover mount is loose and not flush with the ceiling.

          Terrible Design and Instructions
          I purchased this exhaust fan last week to replace an existing one. There are 3 pages of instructions in English (the rest of the book is in foreign lang.), and the instr. are very difficult to follow. There is a picture illustration of how the fixture goes together, pointing to parts...HELLO....would it kill you to write step by step instructions for all of us who are not engineers. They give you a square housing but you need to cut a circle opening or at the end of the install...you can't get the grill to hook on. REALLY !!! Look on NUtone's site reviews how many people made this mistake. All exhaust fans I even bought..you cut the opening to the housing. The glass snaps into the flimsy plastic grill...don't want to stand under that! End up is..half of it is in the garbage. Do yourself a favor and buy another brand, don't waste your money, time and effort on this brand/model.

          Noisy as heck, difficult to remove grille to replace bulb
          This was installed in 12/2014 in a newly constructed house I purchased. Right away, I noticed this fan is incredibly noisy. If you lightly push on the grille, it will quiet down somewhat. The grill is difficult to remove. Once I did manage to get it removed, I noticed the thin, cheap construction of this fan. It is obviously a contractor grade, no more no less. I've stayed in motels with quieter units than this. I do not recommend it.

            Perfect!
            Just put in my 3rd #8663rp in ten years. Apparently earlier models wore out faster than they should have--something slipped down, causing the fan to sound like a WWI fighter airplane. Nutone has ssupposedly fixed the problem with current-production models--we shall see. Anyway, the customer service representative was very helpful. He sent me a FREE a replacement blower/fan right away which took about ten minutes for me to install--not too bad. Excellent customer service, I would say.

              Loud fan
              Bought a new 8663rp nutone bathroom fan with light assembly because old one was really noisy. After installing new fan it's just as noisy as old fan. Why would this keep happening? Is this product just bad old or new?

                  This is a very good product.
                  This product has worked well since it was installed. It has good features and a good appearance. The only reason I did not rate it as excellent is that it is not the easiest item to clean when the grills get full of dust, etc. Otherwise, it is very good overall.

                    Clean dust buildup on fan fins
                    Simply cleaning dust buildup on the fan fins will quiet the fan significantly.

                      Wide and Loud
                      I had this bathroom exhaust fan installed by a professional - it appeared to be difficult job for a novice. This fan is very large - about a foot in diameter, but it does fit fairly flat to the ceiling, making it non-obtrusive. This fan takes a standard lightbulb or CFL. Although other reviews had stated that this fan was loud, "loud" is an understatement. This is sufficiently loud to cover up unpleasantries. When used in a low ceiling, the noise of this fan is almost un-bearable: turning on the light switch will immediately blast your ears with 74-76 dB of white noise. (measured with "Decibel 10th" App on an iPhone)

                      Decent
                      Easy to install, works really well but it is quite loud. I like the circular design since I didn't have to worry about squaring it up with existing walls.

                        average fan
                        This is the second unit I have installed. The first only lasted about 3 years - not nearly enough for a $100 + investment. This new unit is about 1 yr old and already beginning to make off motor noises again so I am not hopeful it will last long. The light it gives off is very good but the motor and air movement is less than desired. Noise level, when working properly, is pretty quiet.

                          works good

                            Poor Product
                            Poor ventilation properties, very noisy. Had HVAC Contractor look at, said installation was ok, just a poorly designed unit.

                              Does exactly what I wanted
                              The exhaust fan and light is mounted in existing opening in tile soffit over bath. It does a better job than old unit did, though perhaps a bit noisy. This was expected, however and is not a problem. Clears humidity quickly.
