Great product!
We used this light/exhaust fan to replace a recessed light above our shower. Home builder didn't install an exhaust fan in the bathroom because it wasn't required by code. This product the perfect solution for removing the steam from our shower. I installed it myself after removing the old recessed light. I had to cut the existing hole in the ceiling drywall @ 1/2" wider to fit the light in the same location but the trim baffle covered this up so no drywall repair was necessary. The only reason I had to do this is that the exhaust duct can't be mounted directly against the joist since you need room to clamp the exhaust hose onto the fan. (Design-wise, placing the fan and exhaust duct at the end of the unit seems to be the most efficient use of space.) The unit is quiet and removes the steam from our shower so we no longer have damp walls after using the shower. I highly recommend this product! Also got a good deal at Amazon (@ $15-20 less than Lowes or Home Depot.)

Perfect product for over the shower
This product greatly improved the bathroom feel after you get out of the shower. It feels drier and there's less steam on the mirror.
I removed the existing recessed light and replaced it with the Broan. It fit in perfectly in the existing hole and the ability to mark and install the nails before you slide the extendable arms on them was a huge plus since I was close to the edge of the attic making it almost impossible to install if I had to place the unit in position first. I hooked up the vent pipe and existing electricity line (switch will run fan and light together) and it worked great without any breaker tripping.
I had to pay extra for other accessories to make it work and have it up to code. It adds $75 to the cost, but I got a great price for the Broan in Amazon and the total was $155. Here's what you need to add:
GFCI breaker for the breaker box. It eliminated the need to cut holes and install the GFCI switch in the bathroom.

Well made, but noisy. Attic mounted fan recommended if quiet is your goal...
I have installed 6 of these light/fans in my new home. They are generally high quality but quite noisy. 1.5 sones was the quietest rating available of any ceiling-mounted fan at the time of purchase. The only component of these fan/lights that is not of the highest quality is the reflector which is made of plastic. The use of compact fluorescent lamps will minimize potential heat damage/discoloration to the reflector.
If you want a quiet fan and cannot access your attic, this fan is recommended. However, if you want quiet and your attic is accessible, I recommend spending the additional time/money installing an inline (remote/attic mounted) ventilation fan such as Panasonic FV-10NLF1 WhisperLine In-Line Ventilation Fan for Single or Multiple Inlets to minimize the noise. (Note that this small inline fan exhausts twice as much air as the Broan 744.) A 5-10-15-30 minute timer (such as...
