Broan Model QTX110SL Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan with Lights. 110 CFM, .9 Sones, 6" ducting.
SensaireŽ 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 SensaireŽ 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.

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:
I love the automatic humidity sensing option. Having kids they don't always remember to turn on the fan before a shower. This fan has plenty of power. Can't remember the last time I got out of the shower and didn't have to wipe the steam off of the mirror. Straight forward installation. Great product.

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTX110SL Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan with Lights:
I installed this fan in my 1st floor bathroom and was so satisfied with it that I ordered another for my 2nd floor bathroom. It is quiet and the humidistat makes operation easy since you just walk away and it turns itself off when humidity drops.

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.
