    • Speed
The Broan-NuTone 688E is a quiet and efficient bathroom exhaust fan, earning its Energy Star rating. Its 50 CFM airflow is suitable for smaller bathrooms, effectively removing moisture and odors. Installation is generally straightforward, and the low sone rating (2.0) makes it pleasantly quiet during operation. While basic, it's a reliable choice for those seeking a cost-effective and efficient bathroom fan. ... show more

    • Works exactly as you'd expect. Great as a drop in to existing old housing if compatible
My 25 year old broan 50CFM 4.0 was failing, so it was time to replace. I made sure this one fit into the existing housing, so installation was a breeze. It really is a lot quieter at 2.0, if you use the fan to cover the sound of you taking a dump you might want to go louder. But I prefer a quieter fan. Apparently it is more energy efficient as well while still pulling out the same air, but I could find no information as to power usage. i've had this for some months now and no issues at all. If I had to complain, it looks like the new cover design may restrict airflow a bit, but at only 50CFM, its likely not. ... show more

    • Wish the cover would cover better
Review Image by Gta
Fan is very quiet and easy to install, the only gripe I have is the cover. I used it in a powder room, once I walk in I can see the rough drywall because of the cover. However I can easily replace the cover which is quite affordable. If this is mounted on a higher ceiling, I don't think it would be an issue at all. ... show more

    • Great value for the price!
Great value for the price! Easy 5 minute replacement of existing older model; with a single flat head screw driver. And yes, it is SUPER QUIET vs the old one. WIN-WIN.

    • Quiet and I was able to retrofit into an old box

Review Image by CarefulShopper
I used this unit to retrofit into a box for 20-year-old Broan 688 motor which was becoming very noisy. The box of the old unit was somewhat smaller. Thus, in two units I could use the old grate covers. However, on one unit with the metal box went into the wall shallower, I used the new cover which projected outward more. The solid cover does decrease the noise even more. But you can see around the edges so when I used this one, I repatched and painted the wall around the box. In addition, in one of the boxes I used duct tape to augment the air seal between the new motor and the old metal box. ... show more

    • Functionally great, this cover is ugly
Review Image by KRISTEN HESS
Fan works fine, much quieter than original from 1990, but get the finned cover not the solid as pictured. You can see right into the guts of the fan and is extremely unattractive. $2 more for the other cover. I'll be spending $12 for a replacement due to cosmetics.

    • New Model Fits Old Housing
I've had to replace four 25 year old versions of this model this year. The good news is that the part that actually needs to be replaced, the motor and fan platform, is pretty easy to switch out. The platform is held in place by three tabs. Once you release one tab, the others come loose. The only issue is that the new motor platform is slightly taller than the old one and this causes fitment issues with the fan cover. If you use the replacement cover, you can see the rough cuts for the fan assembly hole in the ceiling. ... show more
