Is the blender noisy?

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the sound of water in the sink from a faucet turned fully on and 10 standing one foot away from a lawnmower operating at normal throttle, the blender is about a 3.5, maybe 4.0 if there is ice in it.

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.

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.

Noise level is about like any other blender. Easy to clean, dishwasher safe. I LOVE MINE!!!

Send it back. You shouldn't hear any parts rattling. It's not a heavy duty blender. Mine started smoking after about a minute of use blending smoothies.

It makes the normal blender sounds. It would depend on what you are blending. Adding crunch veggies would make it sound louder.Really you are only blending for no more than a minute right? It is portable I suggest when using it in an open work environment take it to the break room to blend if you think people will complain.

Not that I've noticed. I ordered it for my office and while I don't sit directly nearby, I've never noticed it being noisy. It's a great small fridge.

Quieter than my previous blender though certainly not silent. I can talk over it if the person is in the room, though I usually don't. Cleaning is a breeze - all the parts go in the dishwasher and are also easy to handwash - except that the blade is REALLY sharp so hand washing it requires caution. I love the Ninja, make smoothies for breakfast every day with frozen fruit which was too much for my previous blender.

Sorry, the blender was a gift and I've heard no feedback. I should ask if it works as hoped. Thank you for the reminder!

Definitely less quiet than a blender. You can have a conversation while the unit is one - but may need to raise your voice just a little.

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!!!

It's loud like a blender but it only takes about a minute to blend. Does a MUCH better job than a blender also.

It is about the same noise level as most blenders. Depending on your own office environment, it might be disruptive to co- workers even if you only use it once a day for a few minutes.

It's not unusually loud, about the same as other blenders. But I have only used it once to make a blended ice coffee drink.

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.

It is not particularly noisy. It cycles automatically over a preset timed cycle that the operator sets. We have been very happy with this product..

One of the things I noticed about my blender was the noise it made when blending. I would describe it as louder and "rougher" sounding than I expected. I notice that if my put my hand on top of the container while it was blending, it seemed a little smoother. It does seem to be doing a pretty good job and I use it every day. My first experience with this blender was at a small produce stand in California. As I recall, it was very quiet and smooth during the blending. I'm not sure what the answer is. Mary
