If you only remember to turn on the fan after you've stepped out of the shower, or if the kids can't be trusted to remember at all, this QTX110SL ultra-silent humidity-sensing fan/light from Broan offers a convenient solution. It also works well for busy families that need to leave the house before all the humidity has properly vented. Equipped with Broan's exclusive Sensaire technology, the fan detects when steam and humidity levels quickly increase at the ceiling, then it turns on automatically to help return the room to normal humidity levels, which in turn helps prevent mold and other cosmetic and structural problems associated with excess moisture. Even more, it turns off automatically when the job is done (auto shut-off time is adjustable from 5 to 60 minutes). In addition to its ventilating fan, the unit provides a bright 100-watt incandescent light for general overall room lighting, as well as a 4-watt nightlight for safe navigation in the dark (bulbs not included). Other details include 110 CFM, quiet operation at 0.9 Sones, hanger bars for easy universal installation, 6-inch ducting, and UL listed for use over bathtubs and showers (when connected to a GFCI protected branch circuit). Ideal for high-traffic bathrooms or a kid's bathroom, the fan/light's housing measures 10-1/2 inches long by 11-3/8 inches wide by 7-5/8 inches high, and its grille measures 13 inches long by 13-3/4 inches wide. Broan covers the unit with a three-year limited warranty.

As North America's leading producer of residential ventilation products, Broan-NuTone provides high-quality range hoods, ventilation fans, and indoor air-quality products. The company's collection also includes chimes, central vacuums, intercom systems, medicine cabinets, built-in electric heaters, whole-house fans, attic ventilators, paddle fans, ironing centers, trash compactors, and speakers. Even more, Broan-NuTone manufactures private-label products for GE, Sears, Whirlpool, and other appliance leaders.

Quiet, Automatic Humidity Sensing Bathroom Exhaust Fan
This unit is not only efficient, but it is extremely quiet. While it is a bit pricey, it has some great features, besides you can barely hear it running!
I love this fan, because it allows you to have regular ventilation, humidity sensing ventilation, but a regular light and a night light. It moves 110 CFM and the sound level is 0.9 sones. It allows the user to set the sensitivity, as well as a timer for how long the fan runs once it reaches a certain humidity level. Great job Broan.

Perfect Solution
The previous reviewer does a great job of highlighting the various product features.-
We've had this product installed in our bathroom now for almost a year and we absolutely love it. We previously had recurring problems with mold in the shower area and bathroom in general. The problem was made worse by the fact that family members couldn't consistently remember to turn on the (manual) fan we had.
This fan has solved the mold problem for us because it automatically turns itself on and off, saving on your electric bill as well.
It moves a ton of air, yet it's super quiet. The two lighting options: regular, and nightlight are nice.. FYI-Broan makes this particular fan in two different models: incandescent and florescent-this one is the incandescent model.
Note: To do all this magic requires a special three rocker wall switch. So if your installing this as part of a remodel, it will likely require you to add additional wiring from your...
Not what I expected
After reading the other reviews I was excited and hopeful that I was purchasing the perfect fan. UGH...when it's installed and the light from the unit is on, you can EASILY see all of the guts of wires and mechanical things through the louvers. I can't believe nobody commented on this. My contractor has to go buy a nightlight bulb for it anyway and will look for some black mesh to put up there to hide the innards. Why can't things be designed well in the first place?
As far as performance, I don't know yet. It does take a special wall plate for the switching. As far as noise production it is alot less the one I owned before but that one sounded louder than a garbage disposal or jet. You can definitely hear it but it's not obnoxious.
UPDATE: I took a long, steamy shower and I would estimate that this fan reduced the remaining steam post-shower by about 50% and cleared it out after about 10 minutes vs. the former 25 minutes. Additionally, I did not hear the...
