Expert opinion

I recently purchased the Broan Nutone 688 Ceiling and Wall Ventilation Fan, and I am very pleased with my purchase. This fan is designed to help eliminate humidity, tobacco smoke, and cooking odors from your home. It has a 4.0 Sone rating so it runs very quietly, and the torsion springs make it easy to install. The paintable polymeric grilles allow you to match it with your existing decor.

The fan operates on 50 CFM and has a permanently lubricated motor with a Broan designed polymeric blower wheel for high quality operation every time. It also comes with a wiring cover that makes connections away from tight corners. Plus, the motor snaps in and out for easy cleaning without any screws required.

The product dimensions are 0.38D x 9.25W x 9H inches, making it perfect for small spaces like bathrooms or kitchens. It is also certified frustration free and comes with a 1 year limited warranty so you can be sure of your purchase. I was very impressed by how easy it was to install this fan all I had to do was follow the instructions in the manual, and it only took me about 30 minutes!

One of the best features of this product is its versatility you can use it both indoors and outdoors, depending on your needs. It s also very energy efficient thanks to its low power consumption of 120 volts, which helps save you money on energy bills in the long run.

Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an efficient ventilation fan that is easy to install and fits into tight spaces in your home or business. The Broan Nutone 688 Ceiling and Wall Ventilation Fan is perfect for those who want an affordable yet reliable way of removing unwanted odors from their environment without sacrificing style or comfort.
