Click here for special 4-Function Switch for this fan Broan Model QTX110SL Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan with Lights. 110 CFM, .9 Sones, 6" ducting. Sensaire® technology detects rapid increases in moisture levels at the ceiling, where steam and humidity naturally rise. Regular humidistats located on the wall simply detect absolute humidity levels and are prone to false triggers, or not operating when they should. - An automated solution to fight excess humidity and mold. Our humidity sensing fans turn on and off automatically to help prevent cosmetic and structural problems associated with excess moisture. - Adjust the sensitivity level and run-time. Just beneath the drop-down grille are easy-to-adjust sensitivity and run-time controls. Choose your preference, set with a screwdriver and forget it. Of course, you can always override the sensor at the touch of a switch. - Hands-free operation. Since you never have to worry about turning the fan on, Broan Ultra SilentT is ideal for problem areas in residential, institutional and light-commercial applications. Our exclusive Sensaire® technology is a perfect solution for high-traffic bathrooms, or a kid's bathroom. - It turns off automatically, and that saves money. Humidity sensing fans are ideal for anyone who leaves the house before humidity is properly vented. With a fan this quiet, you can't forget to turn it off when the job is done. That saves energy and money. FEATURES LIGHTS: . Up to 100 watt incandescent light and 4 watt nightlight (bulbs not included) BLOWER: . Plug-in, permanently lubricated motor - engineered for continuous operation . Dynamically balanced centrifugal blower wheel for quiet, efficient performance . Maintains a high percentage of rated CFM in less than ideal installations . Low RPM for quiet operation . Resilient anti-vibration motor mounts HOUSING: . Rugged, 26 gauge, galvanized steel construction . 6" round ducting for superior performance . Polymeric duct connector with tapered sleeve and no metallic clatter . 7-5/8" height allows for 2" x 8" (nominal) joist installations . Sturdy, easy, four-point mounting directly to joist . Includes unique spacer (patent pending) for mounting to engineered "I" joists . Includes hanger bars to position housing anywhere between 16" to 24"-on-center joists . Two sets of mounting holes for hanger bars allow flush installation with bottom or top of drywall GRILLE: . Integrated humidity sensor . Polymeric construction . Innovative design - the result of extensive research with designers and consumers AUTOMATIC CONTROL: . Humidity control automatically turns fan ON when either of these conditions is detected: - a rapid to moderate (user adjustable) increase of humidity - humidity above user-adjustable set-point (50%-100% RH) . Two wire manual operation for odor control - Turns fan ON when power line through wall switch is cycled ON, OFF and back ON . Remains ON for a user-adjustable 5 to 60 minutes after humidity has stabilized and is below set-point or after manually initiated through power line cycling . Saves energy because unit runs only for the time required. A unit controlled with a wall timer may keep fan ON longer than required or turn it OFF before room is sufficiently ventilated

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTX110SL Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan with Lights:

we had a professional install the unit about a week after receiving it - it was his first experience installing a fan like this. i was most excited that he managed to install it so that the fan could be controlled by the switch or we could take advantage of the auto-humidity sensing features of this fan. i wish i had known this before installing the other bathroom fan we bought - i would have gotten two of these instead because sometimes you want the fan on for reasons other than just humidity ... especially in a bathroom ;-)

overall, i've been pleased with the unit so far (it has been installed for 2 weeks). with the shower on, i can't hear the fan unless i stop and listen for it; the fan noise is minimal but certainly audible in our small bathroom when the water isn't running.

the only 'issue' i've encountered so far is that the default humidity setting is a little low in my opinion - the fan continues to run for a period of time after i feel the humidity has dissipated and it came on once on a particularly humid day (nice to have the 'kill switch' option) but i'm sure i could change that if i got out the owner's manual.

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTX110SL Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan with Lights:

It's quiet and does the job. Installation was quite easy aside from the fact that the first unit sent to me was not functioning correctly. However, they sent me the replacement part within days, and we are now good to go.

I really like the auto humistat for the kids bathroom. I know that it will get turned on when it is really needed and turned off when it is not!

The night light is great.

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTX110SL Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan with Lights:

The unit was easy to install and is extremely quiet. The only problem was that is was packed by Broan with wrong grille assembly. The wiring harness was too short and could not be plugged in. This issue was promptly resolved by Broan with a phone call to their service department. They are mailing a replacement grille with wiring harnesses in the proper location.

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTX110SL Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan with Lights:

This is the second one I have insatall for the same customer. They liked the first exhaust fan I installed in their master bathroom during a remodel, they wanted another installed in the hall bathroom when we remodeled the second bathroom. A very nice fan and functions. We used a 6" duct. Buying the the switch that is recomemded is a must.

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTX110SL Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan with Lights:

I installed 2 of these systems into upstairs bathrooms. I replaced louder and less effective fans that were installed with the house that was built 14 years ago. The humidity sensor that turns on the fan is excellent. I havent seen this feature by any other maker. You can wire the system into your current switch box if you have a light and fan switch already on your wall. This makes it easy to install since you don't have to do additional electrical wiring. I like that the fan has 2 operating modes. The first is auto mode that the fan turns on for 20 min when humidity changes are detected and the 2nd is for odor control were one can override the auto function by turning the fan switch off then back on. This allows the fan to run 20 min then goes back into auto mode. At .9 sones this fan is most quite compared to other ceiling models. Things that were not so great about it: I do agree with another reviewer that the exhaust back flow stopper probably needs a new design as I initially installed the ducting and found that the stopper fell out of the system and had to reinstall the stopper. This is frustrating when I am in the attic and working conditions are hot. The exhaust tubing is 6" diameter which is unusual for exhaust fans in homes and will most likely require new flexible tubing to your roof's vent. To get to .9 sones this was probably needed. If you don't mind slightly louder systems and want to eliminate adding new exhaust tubing, look at fans of this model that have the same size exhaust tubing as your current fan.

I like this product!

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTX110SL Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan with Lights:

Tried this product for the first time - liked the idea of the auto-sensing hunidistat. It is extremely quiet. The four-funstion switch has stickers instead of beuing embossed as my own 3- function switch is, and I think that that is a little tacky, but my customer doesn't mind.

Overall - I like the product.

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTX110SL Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan with Lights:

I liked the fact that fan automatically turns on when the humidity in the room requires the fan to be on. It works just as advertised. I had some some doubt about connecting the wires but all I had to do was contact Broan technical support, and they replied back to my emails promptly with the solution I was looking for. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTX110SL Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan with Lights:

Good unit for a the common bath fan. It is a larger one with need for large opening including depth of box but thats to be expected. The fan is fairly quiet but not as quiet as some others. Suppose its not fair to compair to the remote fantech units. Hefty price for common style unit but the moisture sensor does work great in the kids bathroom. Lights are a nice plus. Do buy the suggested switch +$25 which has fan(auto/oof/on) light on/off night light on/off Install was easy even w/o using the included hanging rails (we screwed ours straight to 2x6 as we were installing in old bathroom with no access to ceiling above and did not want to redo the ceiling. If you are looking for high end unit forget Broan and go Fantech remote mounted for less $s and silent run.

Service & Delivery comments:

Great delivery, fast and this site has best prices !

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTX110SL Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan with Lights:

Broan- Good product, much better in quality than the NUTONE of comparable ability, and cheaper, and quieter. I had a Nutone that was rusting after several years use that I needed to replace. This fan works better, is quieter, and is better engineered, has more rust resistant parts than the NUTONE. It was also cheaper than the Nutone replacement.
