What is more, it is relatively quiet in operation &#8211; it is rated at 3.0 Sones.<\/p>\n<p>The performance also deserves words of praise.

The unit is very efficient, which is both an advantage and disadvantage at the same time &#8211; it is the loudest round-shaped fan on my list.<\/p>\n<p>To use the model\u2019s light, on the other hand, you will need a single 100-watt incandescent bulb. As you can already guess, this means that the light provided by this bathroom fan is very bright, which is yet another reason why I consider it to be the best model on the list.<\/p>\n<p>The model is also exceptionally easy to install. To make the whole process as hassle-free as possible, Broan-NuTone ships it together with a 24\u201d adjustable hanger bar and a 4\u201d duct connector.<\/p>\n<p>As for the looks, I have only words of praise &#8211; the frosted lens design and the round white grille are bound to complement the aesthetics of any bathroom.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A high-performing bathroom fan<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Comes with a hanger bar<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Provides ample lighting<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Frosted lens design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Loud (5.0 Sones)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h2>Why Should I Get a Round Bathroom Exhaust Fan?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5343\" src=\"https:\/\/scottsbathrooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bathroom-with-round-fan.jpg\" alt=\"Bathroom with a round fan\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scottsbathrooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bathroom-with-round-fan.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/scottsbathrooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bathroom-with-round-fan-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/scottsbathrooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bathroom-with-round-fan-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Coming in a variety of styles, these kinds of appliances provide a very unique look, particularly when compared to their square-shaped counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the traditional devices of this type, round-shaped fans very much resemble your standard light fixtures. And they don\u2019t only look like light fixtures, but also provide illumination &#8211; almost all models have center lights.<\/p>\n<p>While some of these devices look just like the regular bathroom exhaust fans (except that they\u2019re round-shaped, of course), many of them sport a genuinely decorative design. The center light lens is typically surrounded by a grille, which is the part that intakes stale, moist air and exhausts it to the outside.<\/p>\n<p>If the design of a bathroom exhaust fan is really important to you, make sure to also check out our pick for the <a href=\"https:\/\/scottsbathrooms.com\/best-decorative-bathroom-exhaust-fans\/\">best decorative bathroom exhaust fan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>They\u2019re Easy to Install<\/h3>\n<p>One particularly great thing about round bathroom exhaust fans is that they\u2019re easier to install &#8211; they don\u2019t have to be flush with the walls.<\/p>\n<p>Although you probably already know this, a regular square-shaped model can look somewhat odd if the bracket puts it slightly off or if the joists aren\u2019t square with the walls.<\/p>\n<p>You won\u2019t have these kinds of issues with the round bathroom exhaust fans &#8211; installing them is a hassle-free process.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Size a Round Bathroom Exhaust Fan<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5345\" src=\"https:\/\/scottsbathrooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/round-fan-in-a-luxurious-bathroom.jpg\" alt=\"Round fan in a luxurious bathroom\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scottsbathrooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/round-fan-in-a-luxurious-bathroom.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/scottsbathrooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/round-fan-in-a-luxurious-bathroom-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/scottsbathrooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/round-fan-in-a-luxurious-bathroom-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When shopping for a new bathroom exhaust fan, one of your most important considerations should be the CFM rating.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cCFM\u201d is an abbreviation for Cubic Feet per Minute and it\u2019s a standard measurement of airflow. In other words, it can tell you how much stale and moist air a particular model can exhaust, i.e. how powerful it actually is.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to bathrooms whose size stands at about 100 square feet or less, the basic recommendation is to get an exhaust fan whose CFM rating matches the bathroom\u2019s square footage. For a bathroom whose size stands at 80 square feet, you will want to get an 80 CFM-rated exhaust fan.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Bathroom Size<\/td>\n<td>Minimum CFM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>50 square feet or less<\/td>\n<td>50 CFM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>50 to 100 square feet<\/td>\n<td>Add 1 CFM per every square foot<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>100 square feet or more<\/td>\n<td>If you have more than one of these fixtures, add the numbers together:<\/p>\n<p>Jacuzzi tub = 100 CFM<\/p>\n<p>Bathtub = 50 CFM<\/p>\n<p>Shower = 50 CFM<\/p>\n<p>Toilet = 50 CFM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As you can see in the table shown above, things get a bit tricky when it comes to larger bathrooms &#8211; a certain number of CFMs needs to be added for each of the fixtures.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve explained all of this in a lot more detail in my article on <a href=\"https:\/\/scottsbathrooms.com\/bathroom-exhaust-fan-sizing-chart\/\">bathroom exhaust fan sizing<\/a>.
