Feels cheap, didn't work, missing hardware,

Consumer Reports rated Air King fans pretty high, but I didn't feel this way after installing it. It felt cheaply made, and the steel used wasn't welded together quite right. I think this resulted in reduced air flow, because it really didn't seem to pull much air out of the bathroom, and if my shower went longer than 5 minutes it started dripping water out of the grill onto my bathroom floor. And I don't believe the sones advertised were accurate as it was louder than expected. Maybe this particular fan wasn't caught during quality control, but I didn't want to take another chance.
I returned it for a Panasonic fan which I can't rave enough about. The Panasonic just felt solid, didn't drop water, kept the mirror clear and was incredibly quiet. And it included the hardware I needed to complete the job. Buy a Panasonic.

We installed this fan and then returned it. It was too loud! The whole point of replacing the old fan was to get a quiet one. We got a panasonic for our other bathroom, and it is much, much better.

This fan does everything you want it to do, performance wise.But it's not quiet. I had to spend some time with it. Putting some rubber isolation in some areas, a screw in the side plate to quiet it down. I'd still buy one, it sucks!!! In a good way.
