I can't take advantage of any Micro Center deals. I don't whine about banning the posts.
Good luck to those that can get this fan. Installed this in my laundry room and it works great.

It was doable but took a bit of pain. The old bracket was screwed in at an angle impossible to access some of the screw heads, so had to cut and tear the screws out before bending the hell out of the bracket to remove it. I had to cut the ceiling hole larger in one dimension, and patch the other. I also had to run a longer wire since the existing one wouldn't reach. I had to do all this from underneath since this was on the bottom floor, and no attic access.
For some installations it can be quite straight forward but I feel like I had almost every possible complication so it took me a couple of days. I'm very happy with it though! Much quieter, you mainly hear the air flow as opposed to hearing the motor.
"This fan can only accept a 4" or 3" exhaust hose. After spending $450 to have the roof vent and exhaust duct installed, the inspector failed the fan because the minimum duct/hose size (5" in my case) is based on the max CFM rating (110cfm in my case) regardless of where you set the CFM switch (50/80/110). 2020 Florida Building Code, Residential, 7th Edition, Chapter 15, table M1506.2"
It's possible to vent through a soffit or an exterior wall, but just check how your attic is vented. My attic has soffit and ridge vents, but nothing on the gable ends so I went through there. You don't want to vent your bathroom too close to an intake vent for your attic ventilation or that moist air you're trying to evacuate can get sucked right back in to the attic creating the same situation as if you didn't route the moist air outside in the first place.
Which dimensions should I be concerned about in the product description? Housing length and width, or product length and width?

I called a few hvac companies and they told me that they don't do that.
