What impressed me the most was the ease of installation; it took me less than 10 minutes to replace my old unit with this one. The included instructions were clear and straightforward, making the process a breeze.
Not only is the functionality outstanding, but the price point for this fan is exceptional. The quality is top-notch, and it feels like a durable and reliable addition to my home. I strongly recommend it to anyone in need of an efficient and quiet ventilation solution for their home. It's a fantastic upgrade that I'm very pleased with.
This is a $21 fan! You want something quieter? Pay the money. This fan does exactly as it should. I don't need it to be on like the A/C. I need it to extract the bad air and or steam when I need it to. Saved me a few dollars and was an easy install.

I give it a 3 on noise level as it is a bit noisy. However it’s a noise of air being drawn in rather than noise from the motor or assembly. The motor is rather quiet and there are no rattles from the assembly, housing, fan, or cover. Again, you can definitely hear it drawing the air out.
Installation I give a 4. It’s not difficult but it’s not just attaching it to a beam and plugging it into power. It does require the motor to be removed (which is done simply by lifting and pressing slightly against the housing) and then its electric panel to be removed (again also held on with tension) to be able to attach the power and more easily attach it to a beam. Then once secured and power hooked up you must replace the panel cover and the motor assembly to finish the installation.
It can be attached with nails or screws. If this is going int a new install where Sheetrock has not yet been installed your installation will be slightly easier as you will not be confined to the opening in the Sheetrock.
This unit can be mounted in ceiling or wall systems.
** depending on how your current fan is installed you may have an easier or more difficult time installing. - - - I didn’t give it a 5 for installation due to needing to remove/disassemble two separate sections to install the electrical prior to attaching and putting it all back together **
