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

Additional CFM is really not that noticeable, however it was VERY easy to install AND works at least as good as the old unit. You cannot beat the fact that you can avoid going up in the attic to pull out the entire unit. This installed in less than 15 minutes.

Had to use a screw to satisfactorily anchor the unit. Not a big problem.

I use this for my bathroom that is 8'x 5'x 8' and I like the look of the grill and that it is quiet but I still have my mirrow steam up during shower. I am not sure why it would not take all of the steam out of the room. But it does a better job then the one I had in.

When one of my two builder grade fans gave up the fight, I figured it would be best to replace both at the same time. The upgrade kit available here was the cheapest of the online locations and even cheaper after shipping then the local builder supply store.[...]

We used this to replace a broken Nutone 696N and it worked perfectly. We aren't very handy around here, but we managed to do it in about 15 minutes. Very pleased. Maybe our old one wasn't very loud, but this doesn't seem any quieter. However, we weren't really looking for a quieter one.

It fit very easily in the old space. I just chose the right housing, put 2 screws in, and pushed it into place. Piece of cake.
