If smallest and loudest are what you're going for - this is the fan for you...

Otherwise - don't buy it!

1.0 out of 5 stars noisy piece of trash, August 20, 2010

This is the cheap garbage that the builders put in even though it is too small to do the job. Might be OK for a closet size bathroom, but I think that is pushing it. For such a small air mover, it sure does make a lot of noise! I think they actually design them noisey so they can get you to upgrade to a silent model.

I stole the motor out of this for use in an older Broan fan. Model 663/688 Part # 97012038. Fit reasonably well in the old fan, even used the new cover for an "updated" look. Like the other reviewers said it's a noisier fan than most, but for the money, I'm not complaining. 5 Stars for what it is.
