The room is 9x10 and the 80cfm unit that was installed wasn't cutting it. I had to make use of our existing 4" vent tube on the exhaust with a reducer, but the air flow is still great. We don't get any condensation on the walls or mirrors any longer and our moisture issues seem to have been mitigated. My only complaint is that the blower seems to have developed a minor squeak when it is cold. It stops after the unit is on for a few minutes, but is a bit of an annoyance.

Called them regarding the "rattling" noise it makes and they said it was "normal". Our 100 CFM, 2 Sones fan it replaced never made such a rattling sound. Although it was louder. Overall, it sucks up the steam and does it's job. but it's not as quiet as I expected it to be. So don't get your hopes up. By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Broan Model QTXE150 Energy Star Fan, 150 CFM 1.4 Sones (Tools & Home Improvement) I don't post many reviews but thought I'd share my experience with this one. I ordered this model based on previous reviews and some internet searching. I was replacing a 50cfm fan that was rated with 4.6 sones, your typical contractor grade fan. That fan was very undersized for my bathroom and while this one may be a bit oversized, it was well worth it. It is super quiet and I that lingering humidity cloud after the shower is now gone!! I've had this installed for about a month now and couldn't be happier. If anything changes, you'll be the first to know! |
