is it loud? I consider my shop vac to be loud.

I would say on a scale of 1-10, the Worx is a five. The noise factor isn't anything like your shop vac. The unit is extreemly lightweight and easy to use. The only negative is that the battery life is about 45 minutes. I agree with the previous comment, it is good for small jobs and can't do what your pwerful leaf blower does.

Its not nearly as loud as my shop vac nor nearly as powerful as a regular leaf blower. It's something to dry my motorcycle with or quickly blow around doors or clean off the shop floor. Its not too loud and its not a replacement for a real leaf blower. Its a quick no cord alternative for short duration jobs.

I love mine, but it is anything but quiet. I have this little one in the garage and a full size shop vac in the basement but honestly there is not much difference in the loudness. It is a shop vac and they are not canister vacs for sure.

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

This is a question that might be very personal. I consider the sound loud, but certainly not annoying. The machine works very well, so you have to consider if another machine that is quieter will work as well. Hopefully this answered your question.

I don't remember it being loud, just a little motorized noise. You should return it and have it replaced if it's loud! Good luck!:)

It's about as loud as a vacuum. But being on the countertop puts it closer to your ears and kitchens are mostly hard surfaces. I find it uncomfortably loud so I keep a pair of inexpensive ear muffs in the cabinet over my Versa. Otherwise I am very happy with its performance as a smoothie maker.

I love my sprite for the way I can maneuver it around my house. As for the noise, I am not the best one to ask as I am sort of deaf. It bothers my dog when I vacuum, but she's spoiled and resents my doing something that doesn't involve her. She is the reason I got the vac in the first place. Sorry I couldn't be of help.

I found it not as loud as my other sweeper, which I didn't think was bad at all (Eureka, Mac). However, I have a home. not an apartment. Hope that helps.

I can't tell you in decibels, but my experience is that it is typical for a cordless vac. Quieter than a shop vac. Would buy this again in a heartbeat, the only thing I wish it had was a constant "on" switch in addition to the trigger switch.

Dear Anne,I have yet to find a vacuum cleaner which is quiet. I do not think that this model is any noisier than any other but, of course, you may disagree.I recommend that you do what my wife and I do: use ear plugs while vacuuming. Yes, this can be annoying, but it is better than possibly damaging your hearing. (My wife wears ear plugs when using a blow-dryer too.)Meanwhile, this vacuum cleans like a champ. Don't you agree?I hope this answer helps you.Lawrence H. Bulk

Not at all. I lived on the second floor in my building and never had a problem but I had carpet. It is not a noisy machine at all. I can't imagine it being loud on wood floors either.

Yes the vac. is quiet. I was not happy with it. I have owned an Electrolux for about 25 years, and really liked the looks of this one.. However when I got it, I was not pleased with it. You may like it, but I did not. Pleas don't let my displeasure with the machine sway your decision. I wanted one like the one I had, and they don't make them anymore..

It is quiet . I love this. I am a women and this feels like a vacuum but picks up like a big boy shop vac. Every time I use it I compliment myself for making a smart buying decision.

So I've owned it for almost a year, I think it's more than loud enough but I also bought it mainly for its durability. Depending on what kind of work you do, it should be fine. But I will say if you're using power tools or something loud along those lines, it will not but loud enough to overpower the noise from those. Like when my gf vacuums it can no longer be heard.

Not quiet for sure but probably no noisier than other vacuum cleaners I've had other past 20 years. I definitely would not use it late at night or early morning so as not to disturb apartment neighbors.

It's normal, for a smaller vac. It's certainly not loud like a Kirby or anything
