Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The vent in our bathroom died recently, so seeing that it was a Nutone 665, I ordered this unit, assuming it would be easy to pull the old one out and replace it with this.Unfortunately, the housing has been redesigned for the worse.The old unit did indeed slide out very easily, leaving its hanger bars in the space above the ceiling.The new unit requires you to attach the hanger bars to the housing before installing it.Furthermore, the old unit had an opening for the power to come into the unit where the connections were light, vent, and heat were made.The new unit has these connections outside the housing.
Basically, I had to cut open a larger hole in the ceiling to allow for the hanger bars and give me space to hammer them in.The grille is barely larger than the housing, so now I have an ugly space surrounding the unit in the bathroom ceiling.
If they hadn't changed the design, I could have reconnected the power, slid the unit in, and hung it on the old hanger bars and written a 5-star review.The new design makes it much harder to install in a finished bathroom and I see no reason why it was changed.The old unit's design was far superior.If I fix the drywall and this unit dies, I'll have to cut the ceiling again to get it out.I'd rather just leave the hole and find some kind of frame to fit around the grille to hide the hole.
