Weekend Giveaway {$100 Home Depot & A Bluetooth Speaker Fan!} CLOSED
As much as I love how fresh and clean our bathroom feels with such a simple quick update, I actually can’t believe how much more I enjoy the room now that we can easily play music while we are getting ready for the day or for bed. I just needed a fresh coat of paint and some music to give me the sense that I could relax in this room and enjoy being in it. There are no gadgets cluttering up the counter, no cords dangling or stealing your hair dryer’s outlet space, nothing that will fall on the floor and break or get wet and electrocute anyone.
As a fun surprise, the fan company offered to give my favorite readers (YOU!)
Even if you don’t win, next time you need a new bathroom fan, this one would be a great choice both for the steam and the tunes. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below telling me your favorite song or artist or podcast (can’t wait to read your answers!)
Upgrading A Bathroom Exhaust Fan With Bluetooth Speaker
My wife and I both like to listen to podcasts when we get ready for work in the mornings, but when the fan is louder than the speakers on your phone going at full blast then not only are you missing out on audio goodness but it’s loud enough to wake the rest of the house. So let’s kill two birds with one stone here… how about we upgrade the old fan with the Home Netwerks Bluetooth Stereo Speaker Exhaust Fan* (with LED light! So for those counting, that’s a new fan that runs quietly, is a bluetooth speaker AND has a built in LED light?
I’d rank this as a medium skill level install only because of “old house problems” and anytime electrical work is involved I like to err on the side of caution. Now that you’ve triple checked that the power is off to the old fan, it’s time to take it out (and not for a nice dinner and forget to call it later). This is where I got the fun surprise that not only did the previous vent hose not fit the out feed of the old fan, but it had also been badly MacGyver’ed with camouflage athletic tape.
Sometimes you just need to laugh at what previous homeowners do when pressed with making a decision to do it right or do it conveniently like the plumbing in my house. This is where our paths might split depending on how your home is wired and if you have a separate switch for the light and the fan. If it doesn’t, you’re going to need to widen it to fit (with a dry wall saw) plus have enough room in the space to hook up electrical and the vent hose. With that, I ran down to the panel box, flipped the switch and listened carefully for the sounds of explosions, screams or fire outbreaks.
Instead, I heard a little musical jingle and was greeted by a soft white light and a quietly humming fan when I entered the bathroom. Once I got over the shock that my electrical work actually held, I popped the cover on and got ready to test out the bluetooth.
We don’t need a fight for bluetooth supremacy raging on every time we turn on the bathroom fan. As far as final impressions, the light is plenty bright and is a good addition over the top of our shower that was weirdly dark when the curtain is closed.
