Why Spot Heating Makes Sense in Your Home:

You hastily get ready every morning, head for work, the office, or school, just when the central heating system has finished warming the entire house. It's about as inefficient as it gets. Spot heating solves that problem. No longer will you heat an entire home when you simply need a bit of comfort in the bath or dressing room, or any other room.

Even the most efficient central heating systems send heat up the chimney. Broan spot heaters deliver every bit of energy back into your home. There's no external venting, so the electricity you convert to heat is delivered directly where you want it.

Permanently lubricated motors are quiet and require no maintenance. They can be operated by a built-in adjustable thermostat or wall-mount controller. For safety, heaters are thermal overload protected and the complete heater assembly removes from the housing for cleaning.

I bought this just to extract the fan-motor assembly to replace the dead one in my existing unit.I originally had the Broan model 9417DN-R02 bought from Home Depot and it lasted for 10 years until the fan stopped working last year. I had been dragging to replace the whole thing because where it is installed is difficult to access to take out the whole housing.Then I found out the the fan-motor assembly is actually easily user replaceable. It is mounted in the metal housing by just two screw on a metal bracket. It is connected to the unit's circuitry by a small regular 2-prong plug. See photos. Take out the two screws and disconnect the plug and it's out. Easy. The hardest part is to loosen the one screw that is located more to the inside of the housing, because you don't have a lot of space there and you have to be careful not to strip the screw.I found out that the model162 (the sticker inside says 162-M), is basically the same as the 9417DN-R02 that I had and the part number for the fan-motor assembly for both models are the same. Funny thing is that everywhere I look, the actual assembly part itself costs a lot more than the whole unit. So I just buy the whole thing and extract the part from it.

Reviewed in Canada on February 23, 2019
Installed the fan/light/heat lamp over 2 years ago and it still works like a charm. This is a must have for all bathrooms. Not only does it ventilate the humidity out when taking hot showers/baths, it lights up the room and keeps you warm when you come out during not so warm weather so you don't have to turn on your heater. Installation was easy. Just need an opening big enough to house the unit and it sits in place with springs if I remember correctly. I chose to use a transparent heat lamp bulb vs the traditional red heat lamp bulb, which I think is easier on the eyes, no need to transition from dim red lighting back to normal lighting. Only comment is that the fan is a bit noisy. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.
