Broan-Nutone 682 Duct-Free Ventilation Fan, White Square Ceiling or Wall Exhaust Fan with Plastic Grille

The original came with a missing piece and it was easy to return and obtain new unit. The unit was easy to install since no duct work involved. Worked like a charm, quiet and does the job well.Caution use work gloves when handling the metal, the edges are sharp.

Great replacement for the bathroom.

Works fine. Looks good

There aren't many choices for a ductless fan, this thing is cheaply made, and it shows, but the install is simple and easy enough if you're handy. The bracket design is not great, would be much better if it had the style that expands to span between the joists and then secure the fan to that.The filter is small and thin; I can see right through it. I doubt it filters much. The unit I received had a broken grill cover for the wire support right out of the box. I was able to fix it with some super glue.Only go with this if you know you need a ductless fan for a powder room where you don't need to remove the moist air like a normal bathroom, which is where I installed it to replace an old fan from the 80's.At least this was the best price here on Amazon, I got it for almost half of what the local big box store wanted for the same thing online, they didn't carry in the store.

We purchased an older house that had no fan in the bathrooms. I purchased this one after looking at several. It was easy to install & exactly what I was looking for. The fan is about as loud as any other, so no complaints there. Very satisfied & will purchase another when I remodel my other bathroom!

was not able to find locally so ordered online. It was here just as promised and installed and works perfectly. BTW passed local building code requirements

I recently installed this fan in my powder room. This choice was primarily to avoid the complexity of venting through a brick wall between 2 floors.Installation and Design• Instructions: The installation instructions were clear and straightforward.• Bracket Design: The bracket functions well. My setup is vertical, with the fan’s back against another wall. I foresee potential difficulties in removing the fan in the future due to the bracket's design, so I installed a string around the back to hopefully ease future removals. Hopefully the fan lasts a long, long time.• Material Quality: The materials are what I would describe as contractor grade – functional and safe, but prioritizing cost-effectiveness over premium quality.• Construction Quality: The metal housing, initially bowed, straightened out after mounting. It's average in terms of build IMO.Filter and Noise Level• Filter: The included filter was disappointing. It's a flimsy aluminum rectangle with about 1/8 inch of filter fabric, which can easily deform during installation.• Noise Level: The fan is not quiet. The noise level varies depending on the installation space. In my case, where the fan's back is against a wall, it's noticeably loud on the other side. This doesn’t bother me much, as the sound serves as a reminder to turn it off when not in use. However, for those seeking a quiet, "whisper-mode" fan, this might not be the ideal choice.Personal Modifications - To enhance the fan's performance, I invested in thicker, more robust charcoal filter material for the sides and top intakes of the cover. I was careful to secure these additions properly to prevent them from getting sucked into the fan. Additionally, I tossed a car air freshener in the exhaust plenum for a touch of fragrance. Clearly these are at the discretion of the user but it made a huge difference IMO.Summary In summary, this fan offers good value, though not great. It fulfills its basic function. With an additional investment of around $15-$20 in materials, its effectiveness significantly improves beyond what's provided out of the box.

Didn't want to spend alot of effort on this install so my bathroom light happened to be on the wall over the sink and on a stud. I cut a 7.5 inch square in the wall dryrock with one side on the stud higher than the light. Put a wire pigtail on exhaust fan and threaded it through the existing hole for the light. Attached fan box (drilled three holes in it) directly to the stud. Didn't need use that bracket that came with it. I think it would need larger opening in drywall to be able to slide box into bracket. That would be more work for those installing in existing room with finished drywall like I have. Put light back on and good to go! NO PATCHING OR PAINTING REQUIRED. I put a Febreeze car air freshener in it for better odor control.
