Rated 4 out of 5 by KeithB Easy install
This product was easy to install as I already had wiring in place. The heating element went out after only a few weeks. The customer service folks sent a whole new unit which was also easy to replace. It has been working fine for over a year now. It is pretty quiet while running and heats a fairly large bathroom within a few minutes.

Rated 1 out of 5 by xRichx Look somewhere else
I spent almost $200 on this unit and another $175 to have a hole cut in my bathroom ceiling and new sheetrock just to have the heating element burn out after using it for 3 days. I'm assuming the ceiling will have to be cut out again to service the unit if thats the case I'm just going to leave it as is and eat my loss on this unit until the fan or light burn out then go through the expensive process again with a better type unit.

Rated 2 out of 5 by JS60 Heater is a bust!
Like many other reviewers, I've had issues with the heating element failing. I am on my fourth element in two years! The heater fan works fine & I checked to make certain things weren't dirty or airflow restricted.
Very frustrating as the HEATER feature was the primary reason we bought this model & cut a larger hole in the ceiling. This model is too expensive to have this recurring failure. Broan/NuTone should think about reviewing the heater element spec / thermal fuse as there is obviously a problem with it.

The vent on this is awesome. Quiet, works every time. Light of course works as it should. The heater, however, is aweful. The heating element keeps burning up and I'm having to get a replacement. On the fourth replacement element at the moment. Would probably not buy another one like this. Support has been good about sending the entire heating scroll with element, but this gets old after the fourth time. At some point step up and send an entirely brand new unit. Thank goodness it is still under warranty.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PW54boy Works much better that the old heat lamp unit.
Bought this to replace an older heat lamp unit. I was looking for a quiet fan and electric heater. The unit itself was easy to install and has worked flawlessly.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Sherry A bit too noisy
We did not install the product. We had the baths remodeled and the contractor did the installation, so I don't know if the installation is easy or hard. I think the fan is very noisy. It does a good job of removing moisture in the air, but way too noisy. Also, the heater still has an unusual smell every time I turn it on. It's been over a year.

Rated 1 out of 5 by cherylb5411 Poor heating element; it burned out in a matter of a week. a new replacement burned out in days.
I'm very unhappy with your product. We needed something that could add heat in our bathroom, but the heating element of the original installation burned out in about a week. When I called for the element replacement at Broan, the woman didn't even ask any questions, she conceded to send a replacement element. That element didn't even last a week. The installation took cutting into the ceiling and the patchwork repair after was pretty intense and expensive, so we are using the unit w/o the heater. Very disappointing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by margo1 excellent product
This heater makes my bathroom toasty for my bathing enjoyment.
When I was considering a replacement heater for my bathroom, I called and talked with one of your customer service personnel. He was able to tell me exactly which heater I would be able to use with the existing wiring. My general repairman was able to install your product. easily.
