Is the blower loud and obnoxious since it has to stay on the entire time the slide is being used?

No it is not loud and obnoxious. Plus, since you are outside the whole time and the kids are presumable sliding and splashing around having fun; no one ever notices the fan. We got a good 4 years out of ours until we gave it away to a neighbor after our son outgrew it. They use it and still have it. A couple of holes had to be patched up.

The blower is on the back side of the slide where no action is. It's not really noticeable once the kids start playing. It's pretty quiet.

It is not whisper quite, but the kids have so much fun on it and you don't really notice the noise for the laughter. It is not super loud.

It's not too loud. Once the kids get to playing and splashing you don't even notice it.

No the children actually make enough noise playing I never noticed the sound from the blower. It is a very nice unit. It is behind the slide so it is not loud at all that I noticed.

No. Its not very loud at all. The problem is the gauge is not accurate, and it seems they've known about the issue but haven't fixed it yet. It will also blow fuses if you're not careful.

No, the fan is *always on* and while not loud, is a constant distraction (adding about 50 dB of noise). Really bad design, Drobo!

It's loud. The kids don't mind... And it isn't to horrible once it's fully inflated.... Sounds like a hair dryer on a low setting.

No, as soon as you turn the blower off it starts deflating so you have to leave the blower on.

It's loud, but it's not a problem. It's working just find, I think it's just the mechanism that makes it so you can't just pull it and it keeps going and going and going lol

It's loud but not horrible. We have it set up outside on the back porch and we just leave it. I put a $6 plastic tote from Target upside down on top of the blower when we aren't using it to keep it dry.

Yes the blower is needed to blow the house up and it stays on as long as you are using the house. Once you shut the blower it will deflate

There is no noise unless you use the battery operated blower and even then it's a low hum. I've only used the blower once as I don't feel it's needed.

Not that I could find. There isnt a button or place to turn it off. And it is pretty loud. And continues the entire time the car is being made.

Yes, the blower must be on. It has a long tube to fill it and isn't very loud.

It's not noisy at all. You can just barely hear the blower kick on, but any room noise at all is minimal.

There is always a noise from the blower as you have to keep it running to hold air.

I would compare the blower to a vacuum cleaner, it's pretty loud. And yes, it must be on, if you turn it off the bouncy deflates right away. This is a great product! I am VERY happy :)

It isn't loud. However, if toy are looking to run it for more than a few minutes, it does get quite hot.

Yes, the blower runs constantly. It is noisy. We loved it anyways. Keeps my boys very busy, burns lots of energy, and very durable.

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.
