Conclusion
Overall, the Broan QTXE080 Ultra Silent Bath Fan is a very reliable unit that has the potential to move quite a lot of air to eliminate issues associated with steam/moisture in the home. A great quality is the extremely quiet operation that makes it seem like the fan isn’t even on – there is no fan blade noise, no rattles, no vibration, and no motor noise. If you are looking to replace an aged fan, you will find this unit to be very efficient and likely to move nearly 55% more air than older fans. While it does have a quite typical style and finish, there shouldn’t be any reason why it isn’t able to blend with most bathroom decor styles and layouts.
