Easy to install and quiet for the cost.
And the price was right, i was looking at buying just the motor alone and it was going to cost $30 more than everything.
A little noisy but great value for the price.

In terms of quality i think is a downgrade at least for the box and the ventilator cage the old ones were more hermetic than these ones and i had to use a lot of 3m aluminum foil to make them as air leak proof as the old ones

The electrical box external screw key 9 with part99150545 is placed in the wrong position instead of being near the floor of the attic it should be near the top of the boxas mounted

I had to use a magnetic 14 socket and a long screw to properly drive it while sitting in a very weird position given that i had like 2 feet of space there

It would be much easier to screw the electrical box back while doing it in the attic if the leg of the box and the screw positions were swapped
