Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Too few and small blades, high speed fan.
Very loud once mounted on house frame (vibrates too much and transmits vibrations to the house framing.)Documentation probably does not point out proper mounting methods to reduce noise(or is it we hired an incompetent electrician?The guy mounted it directly on the house framing, without consideration of throughput versus vent size, without rubber pads we had to request ourselves, without any side framing to prevent air leak & re-circulation!Any mounting advice we found easily on the internet he simply ignored!)
This fan has no speed control (nor will it accept an add-on rheostat for this; the electrician stated it would burn the electric motor out!)This means the fan always operates at full speed, full noise level, regardless of environmental conditions.
The thermostat is industrial looking; as a result it can't be installed in convenient, reachable places.Our "smart" electrician installed it in the attic, for ever beyond reach once the bedroom ceiling finished...We had to make an access trap afterwards.In summer in Boston Metrowest, preset trigger temperature 90K roughly gets the fan running all day from 10:30AM to 2:00AM, preventing quiet sleep in the master bedroom until late at night!
Keep away from this non-sense.Get a fan with speed control in addition to thermostat.Get 5 blades instead of 3 (and larger blades if allowed by your space requirements) to allow operation at lower speeds.Throw in an override switch (not comprised in the already high price of that fan.)
BTW, I just found this on the internet: Broan Model #35316
