Noise level, ease of cleaning?

Quieter than my previous blender though certainly not silent. I can talk over it if the person is in the room, though I usually don't. Cleaning is a breeze - all the parts go in the dishwasher and are also easy to handwash - except that the blade is REALLY sharp so hand washing it requires caution. I love the Ninja, make smoothies for breakfast every day with frozen fruit which was too much for my previous blender.

The motor (which you place on the top of the blender or food processor) gets food stuck in the little hole in the middle that holds the blades in place. It is very difficult to get the food out of this hole. I have to use a q-tip of tooth pick and still cannot get eveyrthing out. I have been using this for 2 years now. Other than trying to clean the top part, it works fine. But trying to clean the top part has been a big drawback for me. So I am going to go ahead and spend the money to upgrade to a real food processor.

Noise level is about like any other blender. Easy to clean, dishwasher safe. I LOVE MINE!!!

Its pretty good, actually! Its not the MOST silent vacuum I've ever owned, but the power to noise ratio far surpasses previous vacuums. Usually with less noise comes a less powerful vacuum. And it has more of a low tone, so it's much less obnoxious. I definitely dont feel like Im disturbing my neighbors. Come to think of it, my roommate has told me, with his bedroom door closed, he can barely hear anything if Im vacuuming the living room.

We find the Panasonic moderately noisy when the rug-beater brushes are whirling. Not enough to be a deal breaker but that would depend on the buyer's hearing sensitivity.

It's pretty loud. I'd compare the sound level to a vaccuum cleaner or a dust buster maybe.

Well it is noisey but I can't tell how noisey her's is. It's not as noisey as my old vacuum but it's definitely not quiet. I wouldn't recommend you buying this vacuum either way. It's not very good and is overpriced.

Easy to clean. I think you could put a filter in, there's room. However I don'tknow how a filter will effect performance. I can say this fan is called Whisper! It is noisy!!

I use this unit in my shop, so noise is not a factor, on the high mode you can hear the fan, maybe too loud for inside your home. Does an excellent job in my shop.

It's tough to compare it to anything because the noise it makes is unlike any other shop machine. It's on the low pitched side and way, way less than a shop vac. It turns into a background noise and isn't objectionable, at least to me. You can listen to music while it's on though you'll need to crank up the volume another notch or two.

I have a small shop and the dust collector is very much in the open. I is not as loud as I expected. Not quiet, but significantly less noise than my shop vac, table saw, etc.

No this vacuum is at a decent noise level. I mean it's still a vacuum so it's not quiet. But not loud either.

The noise is not significant, and you'll get used to it the more you use it. The unit is most effective the more you use it.

Yeah i would say it's a tad loud. Especially if you use the vacuume. That being said, it's literally never crossed my mind before now.

Noise level isn't extremely loud, but there are much quieter models. You are going to find that, with this model, buying a less expensive clipper is NOT worth it. The motor on mine burned out after only roughly five hours of use. It takes one hour to groom my shih-tzu, and on the fifth use, the motor gave up. Trust me, spend the extra money to buy a two-speed, they will far outlast the Andis 60105 Versa model.

I would say the noise level is about the same as others. Maybe just ever so slightly quieter. I bought it because it is very light in weight.

Consider that you are polishing metal so its going to make some noise I can hear mine in the garage from about 30'. My sonic solution cleaner is very quite.

I don't think it's as loud as a normal full-size vacuum cleaner, but it's not quiet either. I'd say it's noise level is pretty standard for dust busters.

Perceived level of noise can be kind of subjective, but I don't find that it bothers me. It is not silent, but I have not turned on fans or wall AC units before due to noise and this one does not seem to interfere with my need of quiet.
