Nutone 8664RP 100 CFM 3.5 Sones Designer Fan/Light, Round White Grille with Glass Lens

We bought this fan as an upgrade from our standard builder model. It's attractive and inexpensive, but those are pretty much the best qualities. I read lots of bad reviews about the motor going bad on this model, but our contractor liked it. Well, needless to say, after 12-14 months of standard use, it started to slow down after being on for 10 minutes or so. Finally, one day, after being on for about 10 minutes, the motor gave out. This thing has been a pain, and unfortunately, that seems to be the standard review for it. Look around, pay a bit more, and you'll be happy in the long run.

As others have stated here, this isn't the best fan/light combo you'll find out there. On the plus side, it's relatively easy to install and pulls a decent amount of air. On the negative side, it is ridiculously cheaply made with a design flaw that sees the plastic turbine that spins around simply forced onto the middle rotor - within a month, this had slid down from centrifugal force and started banging onto the metal vent, risking a possible jam that would have subsequently fried the whole motor. I found a temporary fix by pulling the motor out (via the ceiling and not the attic, at least) and raising the turbine back up on the rotor and literally crazy gluing it in place. That worked for another three months and now this morning it shut down again in a different manner entirely - I'll take it apart to see what's up, but following my initial problem I had called Nutone customer service and (again, on the plus side) they sent me a brand new replacement motor no questions asked...Read more

Moves air well. My mirrors no longer fogging up. It provides plenty of light for my 60 square foot bath and was easy to install. however, it sure is loud. It you want quiet time in the bathroom, this not for you. I sounds like a jet plane taking off.
