How loud is it? I have a GE personal blender and it is ridiculously loud.

It is not very quiet, but it is such and excellent product that it does not bother me at all :)

Yes, I find it fairly loud. On my machine, anyway, which is older and ready to be replaced because it leaks.

I purchased a very popular brand and it was very loud. I replaced it w the same one Exact same problem. I sent it back and got this. No noises that I know of, very smooth.

All blenders are loud, so is the Blendtec. This one does the job in half the time though.

It isn't as loud as my blender... It isn't quiet but I wouldn't describe it as loud either.

I can't tell you in decibiles, but I have no problems using it when my wife is sleeping. Blenders and hand mixers are louder.

I do not know what you consider loud but I think it is reasonable considering it is grinding paper into confetti. It is not nearly as loud as a blender.

It blends ice well. HOWEVER, the longer I own this blender the more disapponted I am. If you use the high speed the carafe WILL jump off the base. You have to hold it down. And I have to plug my ears it's so loud. Using the low speed is quieter but it certainly doesn't blend completely unless you are blending only liquids! There will be lumps, even from old bananas. The smoothie button is very effective - spinning one way and then the other to make sure all ingredients mixed well, to include the ice.

i am disappointed to hear all of this about leaking from a 400.00 appliance. I have been shopping for a powerful blender and was leaning towards the Blendtec but now am thinking the Vitamix may be the way to go.

I read somewhere that output watts are different from the actual watts the machine uses so a 600watt blender may sound super powerful but if its OUTPUT is not 600watts, then it's really just a tricky way of wording it to make you think you're buying a very powerful machine.

It is about the same noise level as most blenders. Depending on your own office environment, it might be disruptive to co- workers even if you only use it once a day for a few minutes.

The machine is not that loud when turned on, its soft. But crushing ice makes half the sound as your blender when you blend fruits.

It's has less noise than a blender. It requires 2 trays of ice, you can put less depending on size of the item you want to cool. I got it as a present, it was a big hit.

Yes, it is loud. I was warned by one the reviews before buying it, but bought it anyway. I am happy with the machine overall, but the noise has got the biggest downside.

One of the things I noticed about my blender was the noise it made when blending. I would describe it as louder and "rougher" sounding than I expected. I notice that if my put my hand on top of the container while it was blending, it seemed a little smoother. It does seem to be doing a pretty good job and I use it every day. My first experience with this blender was at a small produce stand in California. As I recall, it was very quiet and smooth during the blending. I'm not sure what the answer is. Mary
