Great price and easy to install in the space of an old fan. I especially like that it is so much quieter than the one it replaced.

Very easy to install an only took 10 minutes tops. What surprised me most is how quiet this fan is and the new grill looks very nice. Seriously considering this as a replacement for the other bathroom exhaust fans in my house.

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model 690 Economy Fan Upgrade Kit:
Great fan, good price, but the mounting plate was not an exact fit. It mounted okay but it was not wide enough. I duct taped an extension on the plate so it would have a complete air seal. The original fan was from 1968, so the fan box was old. This is a great kit, better than buying a whole new unit from hardware store. JJ

Great company, good description of product. I wish it had a bit more power. But it is a major improvement from the original unit. I am a happy customer. Took me 20 minutes to install the unit. Great directions.
