Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model HD50 Heavy Duty Bath Fan:
Bought the HD50 to replace another in a long line of cheaper fans that continued to fail through almost constant use. The HD50 is built much better than the cheaper models, is very quiet, and has a sealed motor for longer life. Works great so far, but time will tell if it actually lasts longer than the others. Note that the mounting box is larger than a regular bath fan so you have to replace the whole thing and cut a larger hole in the ceiling to fit if you are replacing an existing standard bath fan.

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model HD50 Heavy Duty Bath Fan:
I was asked by our contractor to purchase 50 cpm for new house we are building. It had to fit a 4" round duct. This hd model had everything that was required in addition to low sone rating. Couldn't have asked for better.

Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model HD50 Heavy Duty Bath Fan:
We used this to replace a fan in a small powder room. The fan is awesome, it is very quiet. (Maybe too quiet if that is possible. . . ) It was well worth the price, especially compared to the "Nu-Tone" fans offered at [...]. They were 2-3 times noisier and were about twice the price. I would definitely recommend this product.
