Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model 690 Economy Fan Upgrade Kit:
[...] When we tried to order a replacement fan before from a local specialty store, it took weeks to come in and ended up being the wrong part and not fitting. This fan is an upgrade and yet fit perfectly. This fan is more powerful and quiet than the one we replaced. Even the cover is nicer than the original. The installation instructions were simple and clear. We will be ordering more!

The original add indicated that it would fit as a replacement for my Nautilus model N671. This was not the case, but I liked the fan and the squirrel cage blower. After looking the situation over I decided I could make it work by using my old base plate. With some modifications for mounting the motor assembly I got everything to work. I am very pleased with the unit and enjoyed the challenge to make it work for my application. It is about 50% less quiet than the old unit it replaced. I am pleased with the unit.

These fan replacements are simple to install. I did it in 10 minutes, and I'm not real good with electronic home repairs.
