Is this model noisy? I used to have an older model that was extremely loud.

Yes, this model is very loud. I like that it is small but I am also disappointed that I never noticed before I bought it that it is not a warm steam cleaner. It shoots whatever temp water you put into it. I feel a warm "seam" cleaner might also clean better. But the price is nice and it is very portable. It seems to do the job well enough but it is loud.

Tough to answer because whats extremely loud to you may not be to me but if I have to choose yes or no I'd say YES

No, it is loud enough to know its powerful, but not going to be like renting a rug doctor.

Mine is very noisy with a high pitched whine. It cleans like a dream though!

Quite a bit quieter than my old one. On the high setting you can still hear it, but I generally use the middle setting and it is much more efficient and WAY quieter. Remember you are getting about 80% of the flow for 50% of the electricity, and about half the noise.

I have 2 units. One I bought about 20 yrs ago, the other in the past 6 months or so. Both vibrate (oscillate), Neither make a terrible loud noise. The older one is a little more quiet then the newer. Both are not annoying, but do make 'drumming' hum. I do not leave them plugged in, I empty the tank each time and dry it out. I also put a capful of mouthwash into it each time I use it. The new unit is equal to the old one, except maybe for build quality....it could be a perception thing. so far so good.

It isnt extremely noisy but after a lot of use it starts to get louder. I wouldn't use it at the office because it gives off a whirling sound that some people find annoying. I like to use it at home when I'm watching tv where the only people around who I can bother are my roommates. Try it out though and see if anyone has a problem with it.

What model did you get? I bought the model shown above and it does not make any sounds at all

yes. I guess "noisey" is relative. We are very happy with ours. It is much quieter than the one it replaced.

This machine started off quiet, but soon after started squeaking at the handles. I live in a house so no neighbors to bother but I still use a mat under it. The main noise for me are the handles that squeak at random. Not a really big deal for me. I still love it. Good luck!!

I find it to be quite loud - when running it sounds like I'm stomping my feet on it. I've been running routinely at gyms for 10+ years and have never had this issue. My model may have a defect though, I don't know.

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.

This isn't the one I purchased but if it's made out of the same material, polypropylene, then no, it's not noisy. Mine and my husbands is very quiet.

Don't know because mine is not noisy. Maybe you should call the owner/manufacturer and ask. He is very helpful and nice to do business with.

I do not find it to be noisy at all...when you plug it in, there is a startup noise similar to a computer starting...that is all. I love this machine!!!

In my opinion no; it is about as noisy as I expected it to be. I barely notice it when it does come on and it may be partly due to just having gotten used to it. However, I can see how someone might say it is noisy. This has been a great machine for me once I got the refrigerant level fixed. It may ship with very little refrigerant and you may need someone to come out and add some if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.

No I don't think it's overly loud. I use it alot and the hum doesn't bother me. In NYC I have more noise with the windows open. I am very happy with this model.

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.

yes it is very noisy. a high pitched (loud) whine. and it blows air out of the back (into your face, depending on your position) while you are using it.
