Pros & Cons
Pros
Nutone 688-k is the highest 688 model 'alpha' in the broan website catalog.
This * is everything i hoped for. Do not be intimidated at all. Perfect fit. Easy to install.
Cons
Poor blade-to-shaft connection. Looks like it would melt off if someone accidentally left the fan running too long. The noise is pretty high considering the low 50cfm rating. It is noisy.
I am typically a * for products that are low priced. Buyer's remorse a plenty.

There is a serious oversight in the 688 model numbers making ordering unnecessarily confusing thus i deduct one star

Consthe broan website clearly states the end letter of a model call alpha is an important part of ordering yet this alpha is not found on the amazon listing or the product box i received which was shipped direct from broan to amazon then to me

Also broan parts are ul listed while aftermarket parts which claim safety listing do not provide ul or csa listing numbers
