Replaced a weak fan that was over the toilet, went up into the attic to stabilize & separated switches for fan/heat. Smooth fan sound and made a big temperature difference while soaking in our tub. Gives a warm glow output that’s not too bright, great buy!

I was a bit surprised at the size of this unit. I was expecting something a bit smaller. Not that that is a bad thing. I have not hooked it up yet, but I did notice in the instructions that it shows you how to wire it onto one single switch, 2 switches or 3 different switches for all of the components separately. This is great. I plan to use one of the bulb sockets as a regular light and the other for a heat lamp. i will wire the fan and lifgt onto one switch and the heat lamp separately. This unit does require it's own 20 amp circuit. Currently I am waiting to install this due to the fact that it needs to be vented outside rather just into the attic. I have had people tell me that venting into the attic is ok and others tell me that it will promote mold growth. If any professionals are out there, please feel free to leave me a comment. In the meantime, I was thinking that Broan RVK1A Roof Vent Kit would be perfect for what I need. I am not an electrician, but the provided instructions seem pretty straight forward and clear, i think I can manage to install this on my own in an evening. My bathroom is fairly small and has no other heat source, in the winter we end up using a small ceramic heater while we shower, etc. Hopefully this will be enough to warm things up a bit. If this review was helpful, please take a second and vote.

My high bathroom ceiling made me go with the dual bulb heater. A low ceiling would be a good candidate for a single bulb or for a dual unit using one bulb for heat and the other for lighting. One issue when unpacking was the fan being slightly out of place which caused rubbing on the fan housing. This was easily fixed bending the motor back into place. You should check fan movement before installing, but this can be fixed at any time with the bulbs out. I opted for the heat lamps on a timer and the fan on a separate switch. According to the instructions, the fan needs to be wired on way or the other. There's a temperature sensor inside the housing that will turn on the fan if it gets too hot in the housing. So don't decide not to wire the fan because you don't want or need it. Use a separate switch like I did and not turn it on and have the safety thermostat in the circuit. Wiring is straightforward and if you can't figure it out, get an electrician. The box for wiring is small and not much extra on the wires going into it. I'd use tape around the wire nuts to keep them on since the attic is the last place you want to check wiring in the summer. I used the knockout on top of the wiring box because it was easiest to have the wiring exit and made it easier to move unit around for installation. YOU SHOULD make all wiring connections in the box before you mount it to the joists. So far a simple unit that works fine. I'd buy it again. I can't find any difference between Broan and Nutone. So I bought the cheapest one. UPDATE. The temps in my area got up to 50 degrees and the fan temperature sensor turned the fan on (like it's supposed to). I think I'll use the fan when I have the lamps on. Two reasons 1. You shouldn't use the temperature sensor to turn the fan on and off (my opinion as an hvac tech). This appears to be a safety control for high temps. 2. Using the fan will validate that it's working. If the fan isn't working, the temperature sensor can't turn it on even if it wanted to. I don't see any high temperature safety cutout on the unit, but I'll double check to make sure. Either way, using the fan when both lamps are on seems to be the safest way to operate.

I originally bought this for parts to swap out with my older NuTone 9427p, but unfortunately, the cover is not supplied with the older V-type springs. The older style cover, NuTone S89260000, is available but I only found it for $85 on Amazon. The fan motor does appear however to be an easy swap if you have the old mounting bracket. The bulb mounts in the newer unit appear to be better quality, so if you can figure out how to swap those too, it will keep the bulbs from flopping around as much.

is ok, just cannot find light bulbs that get hot enough, so will go back to space heater, the vent runs whenever stuck because too expensive to remove buy ceiling heat reinstall etc

We bought our townhome in 2019 and it's an old place, built in 1973. The place was remodeled by the investor real estate agent and the bathroom vent, dirty with debris finally seized up this past week. An electrician offered to replace it for between $300-500 and I said, nope can't afford that. Removed the old trim plate and checked out the data plate in the old box and learned that ours was a 164-L made by Broan NuTone. Checked their website and they sell the fan drum, bracket and motor as an assembly for $85.00. Quickly ordered that and it is set to arrive next week. Also dug around on Amazon and found that they sell the whole enchilada for less than $60.00. It does not say which revision it is, but it's a Broan 164, so bought that as well. Needless to say, the Amazon arrived today and I dismantled the motor and wheel assembly from the new one, which is a 164-M by the way and swapped it out. Voila, we now have a running fan. I'll save the remaining box assembly for parts and plan on keeping the Broan order as well and swap out the other one in the other bathroom. So, all in all, it cost me $160.00 for two fan assemblies and one main assembly. Glad my research paid off!!
