Broan QTRE100S Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Fans with Sensaire Technology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Broan Humidity Sensing Fan was installed in our bathroom two months ago. The bathroom doesn't get steamy anymore - no steamed mirrors and no condensation on the walls or window. The fan is quiet - a gentle low whoosh is all I hear. I hear it turn on but it quickly becomes quiet background noise I don't notice. The electrician installed a wall switch for the fan as well. When I wash down the shower walls I can override the sensor, turn the fan on manually and the fan pulls the cleaning smell out of the bathroom quickly. In the morning, when everyone is rushing, no one needs to remember to turn the fan on. Then, in the hurry to get out the door, no one forgets to turn the fan off. Not that we ever had that problem! ;) The humidity sensor feature turns it on every time when needed and turns it off when the air is clear. It will prevent mold AND save energy - it was worth the extra money for the humidity sensor.

Hunter Fan Saturn 90052 Bathroom Fan, Decorative Satin White Rings with Frosted Glass Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I spent quite a bit of time pricing, comparing, and researching various models of light/fan assemblies to install in the small bathroom off my master bedroom. After visiting all the local home improvement stores, I expanded my search online. I slowly narrowed down my options and this Hunter fan bubbled to the surface.
A few things to keep in mind as you're doing your due diligence to locate the fan that works for you.
First, you should be aware that most ventilation fans are made of white plastic. If your bathroom has a window that doesn't block the sun's UV, over time this nice white plastic will yellow. I didn't want that, so this narrowed my options down to units that have no visible plastic. This GREATLY reduced my options.
Second, carefully consider whether you want a fan that is silent or near silent. I visited my local home stores and demoed these silent fans and decided I didn't want them. If they're totally silent, I can't tell if they're even on! I didn't like this. I wanted a little rushing sound just to let me know that it is, in fact, operating.
Ventilation fan noise is rated in "sones." Three or four sones is about as loud as a quiet conversation. Six sones is very loud. Any fan with a sone rating under 1 is almost totally silent. This Hunter fan is rated at 2.5 sones, which I found to be ideal. Since the fan is off the bedroom, it's loud enough to remind me it's operating, block out any quiet sounds I don't want anyone in the bedroom to hear, yet it is quiet enough not to bother whoever is trying to sleep in the bedroom.
The fan is rated at 80 CFM, which is just right for my bathroom (I calculated it needs a minimum 30 CFM fan). If you have a small bathroom, I'd suggest a fan two to three times the minimum CFM rating for your room. The higher the CFM, the greater the breeze you will feel through the room. When you're taking a shower, too much breeze can feel uncomfortable. It might be tempting to go overboard with the CFM rating, but if you're like me and enjoy a comfortable and relaxing shower, I'd suggest you get only what you need.
I found installation to be a breeze! Aside from the usual miserable attic installation issues, installing this fan was painless. The assembly is light and the fan housing compact (only 6-1/2" high). After the housing is installed in the attic, the wiring, fan, and light are installed below, in the bathroom.
The final installation is outstanding! No plastic visible anyplace. The marbled and frosted glass is very attractive and the hush of the fan is exactly what I was looking for.
I'd recommend this fan for those who, like me, are looking for an easy fan to install that is both attractive and functional. The Hunter series of ventilation units meets these expectations at a reasonable price.
