How does this unit compare to the Honeywell MN12CES in terms of noise and cooling?

I can't make that comparison, but compared to a much less expensive Commercial Cool Unit from BJs, which was much lower BTU (10000, I think), it doesn't compare. I was extremely disappointed in this unit.

As far as noise - It is a very quiet machine - Cooling will be based on size of room... We use in a 600 sqft area and get it down to 66 on a 100 degree day in San Diego...

don't know which is better. My 8005 is not too noisy at all; I am very satisfied with it.

I have a Honeywell in my bedroom (new touch screen) and it's very loud. These are quieter. But I can still hear them when I'm across the room on the couch. Hope that helps

I bought one for the conference room of my office and it was not quiet. The condenser motor was loud and it wouldn't stop running. I took it back and the replacement is much quieter. The motor runs more quietly and is not on all the time -- only when necessary to cool. It does "gurgle" a bit sometimes as it runs (the sound of the Freon flowing?), but the overall noise level is now acceptable for a conference room.

With the fan on level one it creates the perfect white noise and circulates the air gently to keep it fresh. When it is hot out and you need cooling the compressor is not too much louder but the thermostatic cycling could be set at a longer duration ,that said prior experience with GE Goldstar and Frigidaire this model is pretty quiet.The only quieter I have experienced is LG's 10,000 btu window/wall mount mod # lw1010er.

I don't know to what $60 model you refer? If it is those computer fans, they make way too much noise for a bedroom, and don't move that much air. I returned the one I tried. This is a squirrel cage, and relatively quiet. I like it.

I bought two at the same time and they're both still running fine. The fans run almost constantly but they are quiet and and the noise level is not an issue. As another reviewer stated, the temperature display changes all the time but I put digital thermometers inside the units and the actual temp does not vary by more than 2 degrees. For the money, they're pretty tough to beat.

It is quieter than the previous Kenmore window a/c of 12K BTU. I reviewed several brands and the Frigidaire appeared to be the best choice, although I have had previous good experience with Frigidaire. Of course, it is not going to be as quiet as a central unit for the whole house, but acceptable and I would recommend it. The a/c unit and sleeve arrived from Amazon very well packaged and protected. Read the instructions carefully.

If it's a studio, yes. If it's a one bedroom, it will cool well the room it's in, and cool partially the other. It's about the same in my view. Three fan settings, each one progressively louder. So far I like mine and think it does a very good job. Third floor office, 500sf, computers buzzing and halogen lights warming. Room is hot as hades, but the unit makes it comfortable. I'd buy it again.

I think it's pretty much the best you can do currently. I had an old Honeywell and resisted buying a replacement until the Honeywell just had too many rattles after ten years. This one is slightly higher pitched and slightly quieter. If you use the high setting the loudness is more comparable but the pitch was too far off. Bottom line, this is the only thing close enough I'll use. If I needed louder, this thing is cheap so I'd just use two in the same room.

Are you referring to the amount of noise it makes when its running? My unit is in storage for the winter, so I cannot measure for you, but I can attest that it is no louder than the average window unit.

I cannot say for 100% certain. It seems reasonably quiet (certainly NOT silent), but I'm running it in a server room with a couple of servers that kick out major decibels, so I don't have an accurate sense of this machine's noise level. Sorry.

No..the unit is quieter than my dishwasher or even the fridge when the comoressor is running. Id say equal to a small desk fan. I cannot hear it unless im in the kitchen.

damn, i'd like to know this too. specifically, which one runs quieter and cooler? and furthermore, which one is more reliable?

Hey,I ended up buying the WDEUBK10000N. So far no issues. It's build seems to be able to take more "abuse" then my last one which looked more like the WDH1U. It's quiet enough; I had to actually put it to my ear to here to see if it was on. Not sure on the temp because I don't keep it running all the time.

I have this freezer in my bedroom as well. It's not silent but definitely does not bother me with the low amount of noise. Overall I'm really happy with this freezer.

Can't offer a comparison to other fans, but there must be quieter ones out there because this one does make a lot of noise. You can clearly hear it from both inside the house and outside. It is significantly louder than the 20 yr. old fan it replaced, but I have a feeling it also has a higher rated capacity, because it does seem to move a lot of air. The only encouragement I can offer is that if you set the thermostat high enough, you could get it to turn itself off in the evening. Don't know what temp. that might be in your area: mine is set at about 105. Good luck.
