Find Best Price at Amazon"I like the version that illuminates the last selected time's LED, and the LED under the power on/off button, when the light (load) turns off. Some of the reviews here talk about the night light feature, so I assumed that would be the version I would receive when ordering from this seller, but that was not the case."
"It's pretty bright but perfect for that middle of the night pitstop without totally shocking your eyes and taking forever to get back to sleep."
"For whatever reason (possibly the clothes in the closet were too close to the switch) it would just keep the switch on longer than programed."
"You can click the individual presets to turn on the fan or you can click the big button at the bottom and it selects whatever preset was used last."
"This is so perfect for just leaving the fan on for a while."
"Used to control the bathroom fan to ensure the moist air continues to be removed for 30 minutes after the shower."
"I push the "ON" button when I get in the shower and push the "20 min" timer button when I get out, fully exhausting the moist air not just from the bathroom but also from the ductwork so that no condensate drips back into the fan."
"The main difference between this model and others I have, is this one leaves the little blue LED indicator lights on all the time. The light is actually just bright enough that we don't even turn on the light in our small powder room in the middle of the night."
This motor assembly S97017705 works with the following NuTone/Broan ventilation fan models: Broan 750, Broan 751, Broan 752, Broan N750, NuTone 8663RF, NuTone 8663RFT, NuTone 8663RLG, NuTone 8663RMAB, NuTone 8663RMBR, NuTone 8663RMS, NuTone 8673RP, NuTone 8663RMSA, NuTone 8663RP, NuTone 8664RP, NuTone 671R, NuTone 672R, NuTone VL3668RLG, NuTone VL3668RMAB, NuTone VL3668RMBR, NuTone VL3668RMSA, NuTone VL3668RP.

"The little area that is punched out for the plugs to fit into needs to be modified with a pair of tin snips in order for this assembly to fit correctly. Install the new unit, cut if necessary, put in the screw, plug in the plugs, install the reflector, wing nut and bulb. If needed adjust the reflector and bulb to eliminate the noise."
"After unplugging the fan and removing the bulbs, one wing nut and one Phillips head screw are all that need to be removed in order take out the old fan assembly. I simply put the new fan assembly in, put the screw and wing nut back on, reinstall the light bulbs and plug it in."
"This isn't the quietest or most resilient motor, but it's easy to install - you can do it from inside your bathroom or wherever, no need to crawl up into an attic and mess around from above."
"We reduced the internal condensation by painting the inside with a waterproof tile membrane (red guard or hydroban)."
"Good Value, but as others have noted, it was not an exact fit for my old 1988 vintage Nutone bath fan, due to the square plug cutout being offset."
"After a few years, the fan motor itself fails, or goes off balance and the whole thing vibrates loudly. The Broan assembly part number changed from former "B" Assembly 87618-000, to this Power unit assembly (aka Ventilation Fan Motor Assembly) S97017705."
"Save me from having to cut the drywall to install a new fan (fan sizes are not uniform)."

"Original Review 10/2016: The fan motor on a 16-year-old fan had stopped working."
"Not sure what happened to the original fan installed, or the replacement, but both only lasted about 6 months."
"I've done very little electrical type work at all in my own house, and frankly, was a bit intimidated."
"The only thing I found was that the spaces where the plugs come through was different than mine."
"I just had to make sure I order the right model as there are many different model numbers."
"Checked out Lowe's and Home Depot but they only sold whole units (fan, motor, light, and outside light cover) for a lot more than just the motor, fan, and mount cost here."
"I'm in a trailer, and things rarely fit properly when you replace them."

"I like the version that illuminates the last selected time's LED, and the LED under the power on/off button, when the light (load) turns off. Some of the reviews here talk about the night light feature, so I assumed that would be the version I would receive when ordering from this seller, but that was not the case."
"I'm bummed, because I really wanted to use this switch in all 3 bathrooms for consistency (and to easily tell the fan apart from the light switch), but now I'm not sure I'll use it at all. Maybe some folks like that, but I much prefer the other switches with a very very soft green glow, truly just enough light to find the switch at night. So my cons: 1) Doesn't fit all electrical boxes. 2) Lights are too bright. 3) Lights should be controllable. Pros: 1) Price. 2) It works, as long as it fits in your box."
"You can click the individual presets to turn on the fan or you can click the big button at the bottom and it selects whatever preset was used last."
"I recently installed an ultra quiet bathroom exhaust fan (no light), which I we cannot hear running and we were frequently leaving it on by accident. We set the fan to run for 30 minutes and then this shuts it off for us. I decided to order another one of these controls for a guest bathroom because people were leaving the fan on, and they would automatically turn on the fan and light every time they went in the bathroom, even if the fan wasn't needed."

Designed to work with the wires you already have, Sensi thermostat does not require a common wire (c-wire) in many cases, so it is compatible with most heating and cooling systems* (U.S. and Canada only). Set your Sensi thermostat to automatically adjust your homes temperature for location-based temperature control with geofencing, or quickly create a 7-day schedule to reduce wasteful heating and cooling when no one is home. Integrates with Amazon Alexa for voice control and Wink smart home platforms, and works with Google Assistant and Google Home using the free Wink app.

Find Best Price at Amazon"In my research I learned that my primary complaint the Nest - that the temperature swing was too wide - was addressed by Sensi's "cycle rate" setting. Nest's no-button design is cool, but using a thermostat is not a lecture in UX minimalism, and black-and-chrome doesn't really disappear into the background of my home (white trim and all). Granted, we didn't also install a second Nest to have more temperature sensors, and we didn't buy their $200 talking smoke detectors which also report environmental statistics back to the thermostat. Most people won't care about this but being a network security engineer, I'm impressed that the thermostat has exactly 0 open TCP ports, outbound communication is with one IP, and total traffic is very modest."
"--. I had been wanting to get a WiFi Thermostat for a long time now, but I held off because I was worried that I would buy one that wouldn't be compatible with my home or that I wouldn't be able to figure out how to install it. You select the wires that your current thermostat has, and then the app tells you what to label them and where they will go in the new thermostat. I had never replaced a thermostat before, and it took me under 30 minutes (which includes unboxing, looking for screwdriver, looking for AC unit shut off switch, watching how-to videos included with the app, etc). The app is handy because it also tells you your local Hi and Low temps from the forecast as well as the humidity in your home, upcoming schedule, set temp, actual temp, and the background is either blue, red, or grey depending on if your system is on Cool, Heat, or off at the moment. The only thing this is missing is a few more advanced options for the app, such as specific alerts (like if the temperature is changed manually, I would like to be able to get an instant alert on my phone) and an air filter change reminder that can be set for a certain amount of time (like 1, 2, or 3 months)."
