does this fan make any type of sound when it runs and how easy is it to clean the blades that are inside the machine if you have to clean it.

David B (answer on August 10, 2014) captures perfectly the performance and advantages of this unique fan (and sculpture). If you can afford it, I believe it is the right choice.

The fan is actually pretty noisy. It looks cool, but for all the noise it makes, it just doesn't move the air enough. As for cleaning, the. Fan is in the base of the unit. I haven't tried to clean it yet. Don't want to disassemble it for fear of breaking it. Get a Lasko high power tower fan. It moves a big amount of air and is less then 1/2 the price.

There is the hum of the motor...but not very loud. There are no blades to clean inside....you just need to wipe the base of the fan (where the filter is so the air intake is good) and the round part of the fan I dust off as needed. Very easy.

Have two, one makes a creaky noise and the other is virtually silent on the low setting. Spoke to dyson and they have some part that is supposed to address this. Hopefully it will work; as far as the cleaning the inside of the machine, there aren't any blades and I don't think you're supposed to clean the motor

I only got to use mine 3 times before it went in the shop but I dont recall a sound like that. I did find out my noise is from a bad hepa filter and roller brush...neither of which were replaced before I got it or are covered under the warranty. I am really wondering now what gets replaced on these "reconditioned" units. Knowing that, you may want to have it checked out. Good luck :-D

Fairly noisy. I would not recommend this machine. Mine is 4 months old and going back to the shop for the 3rd time.

Not bad at all. It uses a larger, slower fan to move the air (can kind of see the cut-outs for it on the right side of the unit in the picture). We use it in the garage to drive a noisy high-speed spindle, though, so noise hasn't been a concern for us.

I have a unit which makes a noise like a normal fan would make. It does not make loud unexpected noise. There is a compressor unit in it like the one freeze and that has its own noise Apart from that I am not sure what kind of noise you are getting. Thanks

There is very little noise with my unit when the fan isn't running. And the only times so far that the fans have kicked in were when I had it hooked to my TV as an external display. Don't get me wrong, the fans are far from silent when they do kick in, but with fairly normal use, they usually don't.

Yes it does. The metal cage that covers the fan blades consists of two halves that are held together by metal clips. You can pop the clips off to clean the interior and fan blades. Also, want to say that this is a great fan. Mine has been running constantly for many months with no problems. It's quiet and the remote control is very nice to have. I feel this purchase was money well spent.

No sound, just intermittent motion. As I also discovered, make sure it's clear of any weeds or the furry end can get tangled up and stop moving. it's not a powerful motor inside, doesn't really need to be, to save on battery life.

No. Absolutely silent. There is a function you can activate the fan with to purge the dust, but only when you want it to run the function

We have this fan in our kitchen. While it's small, it's very powerful without making ANY noise. I can stand right underneath of it and still hear nothing. No complaints here!

Not noisy..but fan cuts off and on every 30 seconds.. does anyone know if this is normal? Only had for 2 months.. It has always done this.

No fan. The rotation of the blades gives some push to the chips but I connect my shop vac to the discharge nozzle it works well but it fills up a shop vac pretty quick. I plan to buy a cyclone collector to put ahead of the shop vac if I have a large job to do.

NO! It is ABSOLUTELY very quiet even when oscillating. I love my my fan it's great!

It depends of it has the plastic fans or the metal fans in it. I have 1 of each amd the metal blades tend to make a pitch whine that can be heard through thin walls easily.

it is easy to clean, everything about the fan is great, but it is a little loud

I think it makes as much if not more noise than a bladed fan (it is a bladed fan too although it is an internal "squirrel cage" blade set up), it is just at a higher pitch than a bladed fan. I doesn't put out any more breeze than a bladed fan but it does have a rheostat to regulate fan speed which gives it more settings than most other fans.

It has a fan with about a 5 inch blade and is very quiet. It's about the same as a small desk top fan on slow speed.
