Broan Model QTXE110S Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan. 110 CFM, .7 Sones, 6" ducting.
SensaireŽ technology detects rapid increases in moisture levels at the ceiling, where steam and humidity naturally rise. Regular humidistats located on the wall simply detect absolute humidity levels and are prone to false triggers, or not operating when they should.
- An automated solution to fight excess humidity and mold.
Our humidity sensing fans turn on and off automatically to help prevent cosmetic and structural problems associated with excess moisture.
- Adjust the sensitivity level and run-time.
Just beneath the drop-down grille are easy-to-adjust sensitivity and run-time controls. Choose your preference, set with a screwdriver and forget it. Of course, you can always override the sensor at the touch of a switch.
- Hands-free operation.
Since you never have to worry about turning the fan on, Broan Ultra SilentT is ideal for problem areas in residential, institutional and light-commercial applications. Our exclusive SensaireŽ technology is a perfect solution for high-traffic bathrooms, or a kid's bathroom.
- It turns off automatically, and that saves money.
Humidity sensing fans are ideal for anyone who leaves the house before humidity is properly vented. With a fan this quiet, you can't forget to turn it off when the job is done. That saves energy and money.
NOTE: There are 2 different wiring options for this fan - see wiring guide. Use 2-function switch model 68W for option # 2.

GRILLE:
. Integrated humidity sensor
. Polymeric construction

AUTOMATIC CONTROL:
. Humidity control automatically turns fan ON when either of these conditions is detected:
- a rapid to moderate (user adjustable) increase of humidity
- humidity above user-adjustable set-point (50%-100% RH)
. Two wire manual operation for odor control - Turns fan ON when power line through wall switch is cycled ON, OFF and back ON
. Remains ON for a user-adjustable 5 to 60 minutes after humidity has stabilized and is below set-point or after manually initiated through power line cycling
. Saves energy because unit runs only for the time required.
A unit controlled with a wall timer may keep fan ON longer than required or turn it OFF before room is sufficiently ventilated

from Bradenton, Fl. on 5/28/2010Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTXE110S Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan:
My application was a retrofit situation. I bought this unit to replace the original Broan 688J (50 CFM; 2 Sones; 3" Duct) that was undersized (& noisy) for a 7' x 10' bathroom. Installation definitely requires attic access given the upsizing of duct and the mounting option used (screwed directly to adjacent ceiling joist). The supplied hanger bars were not used. Strongly recommend to inspect the fan housing & duct connector prior to install to foil-tape-close all air-leak sources (unused holes & inadvertent openings). Not doing this will result in significant attic-air intrusion into the vented air space. The fan has been installed about 3 weeks as of this writing. The short-term opinion is one of satisfaction all around.

I researched bathroom vent fans and decided on this model.I installed it myself and found it a simple installation.There was one small problem with the humidity sensing module.One week after installation it stopped functioning.Broan handled the support effeciantly and curtiously.This fan is quiet.Performs very well and is not obtrusive.
It has met all of my expectations.I am highly recommending this product.

Does a great job.
from FLINT, MI on 2/11/2010Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTXE110S Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan:
I INSTALLED THIS PRODUCT IN MY BATHROOM. IT IS SO QUITE, I HAD TO GO INTO THE ACTIC TO MAKE SURE IT WAS WORKING. THE MINUTE IT DETACTS MOISTURE, IT BEGINS TO WORK. AFTER A SHOWER, THE MIRROR CLEARS UP IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. IT ALSO IS GREAT WHEN USED MANUALLY TO REMOVE BATHROOM ORDERS. I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS, SO I HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING NEGATIVE YET.
from Connecticut on 12/15/2009Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTXE110S Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan:
Installed the fans in two adjacent bathrooms. They are so quiet that I never know they are running until I check the "off" indicator light on the two-function control switch. After installation, we never need to worry about turning them on or off. I can rely on them to do their jobs and then turn off themselves. The moisture sensing technology is a must!

from Westchester County, NY on 12/12/2009Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTXE110S Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan:
Not designed for retrofits. Great unit however. I will probably buy one for another bathroom. Humidity sensor works very well. Pretty quiet too. Pricey but highly recommended.

from Chicago, IL on 11/16/2009Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTXE110S Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan:
We recently installed a fan in each of two bedroom bathrooms. The plastic backdraft damper that is supplied to carry ducting to the roof broke on both fans before then ever got installed. It is made of cheap plastic pins with foam on edge on framework to soften noise. This damper does not stop cold air from coming in, its shape doesn't really cover the opening. We had to repair both dampers (we have the skills, most would not)and still keep them functional. The damper flap has two plastic pins that fit in two plastic u-shaped devices on the damper frame. These pins can break when trying to remove the flap from the frame. The entire damper should be sheetmetal, period. The wind causes it to bang back and forth. The fan is quiet, but it isn't always turned on.
from Fort Bragg, CA on 10/16/2009Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model QTXE110S Ultra Silent Humidity Sensing Bath Fan:
I bought 2 of these fans, for both bathrooms. I cannot comment about the ease of installation, because I hired someone to do it. I love these fans. They come on automatically, are VERY quiet and just do the job of eliminating the moisture in the room.
