Air King Ceiling Mounted Snap-In Installation 100 CFM Bathroom Exhaust Fan for Bathrooms up to 100 Square Feet, BFQ110

Works great easy to install.

OK....I was somewhat skeptical of the low price for this fan but I took the plunge and bought the 100 CFM model. It arrived today and I installed it today. The installation wasn't easy but not because of the fan. My attic is hot and I had to crawl on the support beams so I wouldn't fall through the drywall. Total time to take out the old crappy unit and install this new fan was about two hours. The fan came with just about everything needed to install it but it does not come with mounting screws. So make sure you have some high quality wood screws before you start this project or use nails. I had to use a 4 inch to 3 inch adapter on this fan but I knew that before purchase so make sure you have the correct exhaust duct size before you climb into your attic. I highly suggest anyone installing bathroom vent fans use the shiny Foil Tape used in HVAC systems. It's cheap and great for connecting the exhaust ducting to the fan exhaust. The foil tape will prevent any leakage from the exhaust duct connection if used correctly. You want to make sure there is ZERO leakage into your attic from any and all bathroom exhaust fans. I replaced my entire roof yesterday because of a leaking bathroom exhaust fan. The fan leaked moisture slowly but surely into the attic and cause a large section to grow mold. You get the picture. After installing the fan I sealed the gaps in the drywall so no air is leaking into or out of the attic from the bathroom below. I used the Foil Tape for this. It worked great. A suggestion for anyone installing this unit: I suggest you connect the exhaust ducting to the exhaust of the fan BEFORE mounting the fan unit on the fan mount. Why? Because the exhaust port if snug against the support beam the mounting bracket is connected to. There is very little room to seal the connection with Foil Tape or anything else if the fan is mounted in it's bracket before connecting the exhaust ducting. Testing the exhaust fan: I turned it on and was surprised that this fan is actually quieter than the fan it replaced (original with house). I used a sound meter and tested the fan noise of this fan: 69 dB. Not bad. The original fan was half the air flow (50 CFM) and it was noisy at 80 dB. Next test was the "smoke test": With the fan running I opened a can of "smoke" two feet below the fan intake. The smoke was sucked in the fan quickly. So all in all this is a great deal to me. It's relatively quiet, pushes 100 CFM (with a 4 inch exhaust duct) and is very inexpensive compared to other brands. What more can you ask for at this price? I'm ordering another one now for the other upstairs bathroom.

This was a factory reconditioned product.It arrived in a box (the next day) without packing and missing the screws and washers to hold the fan to the frame. It needed to cleaned.It still works

Good product

This is an exact replacement of my current fan in the master bathroom. Everything fits perfectly like the original.I deducted 2 stars because the replacement fan makes such a loud noise, a lot louder than the original fan.I am wondering if my copy is defective but since it still works despite the loud noise, I am not going to return it.

Worked great and a direct fit very little effort needed to install

I unfortunately have 4 of these in my house. I have to replace them every couple years because they just don't last. I just bought another one that did not work. As mentioned, I've very familiar with this model and it simply didn't work. Checked the motor on my other fan hookups and confirmed I was sent a dud. Not only did I waste an hour of my time, I now have to spend time and money to return a paperweight. Good times.I gave it 2 stars because it's fairly simple to replace. That's it's only good quality.

We purchased this Air King fan to replace the fan and motor of our 19 year old fan. Once I cleaned and disassembled our existing fan we realized it was not possible to remove the old housing without making it a drywall and ceiling paint repair job due to the "clip in" feature. So we cleaned out the housing, removed the fan from the new one and used the old screws to install it into our old housing. We also used the new cover as the old one was faded. It works great- and now we can hear just how our old one had really given up. This one sounds stronger and a little louder- not a problem bc it works and was super easy to install.
