Hunter 82042 Energy Star Bathroom Fan with Light, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This fan is very quiet, but the description is bad, design is fair, and looks are fair.
- There is no way to turn off the night light. I assumed it would turn off when it was light in the room, but it does not. You can get a $2 night light that turns on/off with a light sensor, so why can't they put such a sensor on a $150 fan? I replaced the 4w incandescent night light with an LED since you can't turn it off and I don't want to have to replace the thing every month.
- The housing is not designed for installation into an existing hole. The hole needs to be much bigger than the housing due to the duct attachment point and very deep housing. I had to remove the duct and re-install with much difficulty once the housing was in place in the ceiling. The housing is 8" deep, making it a tight or even impossible fit in any place except a top floor bath.
- The grille is approximately 12x13 at the largest point, and the grille is curved, so it is about 10x11 at the corners. The 14.75" x 14.75" shown in the manufacturer's description might be including the box it came in. I don't know where they got that measurement.
- The light bulbs are low energy CFL with a two-prong conductor that I have never seen before. I checked my local big box store and could not find a replacement bulb. I hope the bulbs last a long time. What's wrong with a normal light bulb fixture?
- The design is ugly, kind of like a bulging belly sticking to your ceiling.
I specifically selected this model based on the advertised grille dimensions, hoping to cover up the hole from the old fan. Had I been able to get my hands on the thing in a store, I would never have purchased it. There was no store within 100 miles that had this fan, so I purchased based on the description. Amazon/manufacturer need to accurately describe the items they sell.
This is a disappointing purchase, especially at this price, but I decided to go ahead with the install since I have to assume that the other descriptions will be just as inaccurate and our old fan was already pulled. 2 stars only because it is very quiet.

(More customer reviews)the fan has very little noise, bright light, uses a special gu 24 base bulbs, i found a company on the web i bought four bulbs for 5 bucks each, hunter wanted 15 plus shipping, measure your bulbs, its around 2 1/2 inches i think, and look on the web for a gu 24 bulb thats around that size and order them cheaper from someone else, there was three companys that had the size bulb this hunter fan takes, it works great, sucks alot of air and its bright, cons is the special size bulb, but a search on the web will fix that problem, plus they are the long life bulbs, so 4 extra should last me a long time..be careful not to order a bulb longer then the size you get for there is little room between the bulb and the cover, very little.....

Hunter 82030 Energy Star 70 CFM Bathroom Fan, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The directions are very clear and easy to follow, covering all the possible scenarios. When I finished installing this fan and a new switch, I turned it on and ... nothing. I thought I'd done something wrong with the wiring until I looked closely and saw the fan spinning. It is that quiet. When I put the flex duct on the output there is now the noise of the air in the duct, but it is still very quiet and can barely be heard outside the bathroom. I think if I used a rigid duct or a larger diameter duct, that noise could be minimized.

Hunter 82032 Energy Star 110 CFM Bathroom Fan, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We just bought a twenty year old house and its most pressing need was the master bath fan. All three bathrooms have the same old model in them, a very loud and the most basic (and cheap!) fan you could pick up at any home improvement store for twenty or so bucks. Well, the master bath one was on its last legs...and sounded like a jet engine when running, if it even ran when you flicked the switch. It would let the entire house know that the room was in use.
This fan by Hunter exceeded expectations. It is so quiet that I originally thought it wasn't even working after installing and turning it on. I had to get nearer to hear it, and then even tested it with some paper towels (held up to the grill). In fact, the fan is so quiet that it will not "hide unpleasant noises" from the bathroom anymore, so keep that in mind. Trying not to be redundant but this is the quietest bath fan I have ever heard, yet it is strong enough that we finally don't have a steamed window and mirror after using the shower.
Two other points to note are that the grill cover is almost 2 inches longer on all sides than the unit, so it will cover up any mistakes or possible issues nicely. Be aware though that this unit was about 4 inches "taller" (height above the ceiling) than the cheap-o model it replaced.
As one other reviewer mentioned, this model can be installed without access from above, although it may not be as secure.
I highly recommend this bath fan, even for the price.
