Replaced a basic light with this fan in our vacation home in a dry climate. When we built I was in a rush and didn't think we needed a fan so I just ran one 15a circuit for a light. I wasn't looking forward to crawling into the attic and figuring out how do drop another run of Romex to the switch box so we could control the light and fan separately.
So I searched to see if there were exhaust fans with remote controls. Much to my surprise this Broan has the remote that mounts like a traditional wall switch and also color changing LED and speaker. Didn't care out the speaker but it was cheaper than the model without so I gladly paid the $199 so I wouldn't have to run additional electrical.
The fan is very powerful and keeps the bathroom steam free even with a hot shower. But best of all the LED light is extremely bright. You can dim it if it's too bright.
I'll address some of the negatives I have seen about this light. I think they are from people who haven't taken the few minutes to figure out how it works.
The top button on gang box Bluetooth remote always turns the light on to white. It's push on or push off so easy to operate in the dark. The small rocker buttons below the top button dim/brighten the light.
The middle button turns on the color mode by pushing and holding briefly. It turns on the last color used. From there you use the same button left or right to change the color. Press again and hold for a couple seconds and it goes into color changing mode. Push the top button and you go back to white. The dimmer buttons also dim the lights in color mode.
The bottom button turns the fan on/off. One speed only like most fans.
There is no timer function from the remote but the app does have a timer function. Selectable from 5 - 60 minutes. The rest of the app is pretty basic allowing you to turn the light or fan on/off, dim lights, change colors and create color changing scenes. The app doesn't have an option for updating firmware so I wouldn't hold you breath for additional features.
We probably won't use the app much. I would have bought the model without the speaker if it was cheaper. Once you make the Bluetooth connection it stays connected even with the app closed. So you will hear typing clicks (at least using an Iphone). It would be nice if it disconnected the BT connection automatically when the app is closed. The app has no control over the speaker. It's just like a basic BT speaker. But it does sound decent for what it is. The BT connection doesn't automatically connect which is a good thing. It would be very annoying if it did.
As far as Installation goes the instructions are poor but it installs the same as any other fan so Youtube is helpful. I used the $20 wall vent kit and vented it into our garage which has a 20' ceiling. One less hole in the roof. I've been venting our on demand hot water heater this way for years with no problems.
I would choose this fan even for new construction as the color LED option is nice and it compliments our other lights with Kasa color changing bulbs.
So even though it's expensive compared to a tradition exhaust fan/light I give it 5 stars.

Honest review .DIY install
The hard/messy part was removing the old fan/box and cutting the drywall to accommodate the new fan housingPast that is pretty straightforward installation. Took me about 1 hour to finishThe App is definitely a plus where you can chose a scene and control the fan and light directly from your phone . I Personally like the timer feature to auto shutoff the fan .The speaker is pretty decent and the volume would need to be controlled on your phone Bluetooth output. I read comments about the fan being too loud and overpowering the speaker but I have to disagree. Most reviews are based on delivery issues , inability to install and other unrelated issues . I wish users would review the actual product and not complaining about the delivery driver leaving the package at the front door vs the back.....

For some reason, there is little variety when you search for venting bathroom lights. This thing gives you all of the variety you need. Any light color, a light show, dimming, you name it. The Bluetooth speakers sound surprisingly good. Also, it's super easy to control, and that fan 100% does its job. Very glad my contractor knew his stuff and directed me to Broan products so that I could find this gem. (It's been straightened out on the ceiling since this photo was taken during construction, but just to give you an idea of what it looks like in the space).

The light is a lot of fun and we really enjoy the colors. The white light is plenty bright. And the colors lights create a nice dimmer atmosphe. The fan seems to work well so far and the Bluetooth is easy to connect. The speaker is not super high-quality, but good enough for the bathroom.
