Is anyone having any problems with the finish or with it being noisy? How long have you had your tub?

I have had this tub for over a year now. I still love it. I don't feel like it is noisy. It stays warm once filled. It is nice and deep. I don't' feel like I'm in a kiddie pool. I'm not a small person. I'm 5'11 and about 185. There is plenty of room. It is high quality for sure. The service and delivery was just great. I didn't have to borrow a truck to pick it up. I have nothing negative to say about this tub. It is hard to see in the picture but is does have a 3 wall lip for installing green board and tile without fear of water leaking into the wall. I have not had any problems with the finish being thin or flaky even with 4 kids in the house. I have had this tub for over a year now. I still love it. I don't feel like it is noisy.

No problems with the finish or noise. . Absolutely love the tub! Have had it since March. It gets a lot of use with two young children.

Oh, I should add one more thing to my previous comment; my plumber said it was the highest quality tub he had ever installed in terms of material and construction.

The finish has been amazing--smooth, solid and very easy to keep clean. I think this tub might be a little noisier than acrylic or fiberglass, because the finish is layered over metal base. However, no one has ever commented on it, nor has it seemed unusually loud when someone's in it.

I have had my tub for about 7 months now and I love love love everything about it. Great finish, extra deep, which is nice because I don't have the room in my bathroom for a wider tub. Haven't noticed that it is loud, but now I wonder if I will... Good luck!

I had a fiberglass tub for 15 years so yes I notice a sound difference, and it is louder than my previous tub.

I personally have not had the problem you describe. The tube I have comes out with a proper consistency, and I'm able to get a good lather from it.

Mine isn't noisy at all. And mine works awesome and is well worth the price. Just bought mine used do I didn't spend the money a new one would be. Maybe it's clogged ?

My tub is smooth but it seems to me that the pad needs to have a lot of surface to grab onto. If you put it on a textured surface, I think it might not stay down as long. I have discovered that you need to keep it clean: soap scum makes it less non-skid.

Mine started making a high pitched, loud, random squeak after about a year- just beyond warranty of course. I've written the company but no response yet- I've changed the filters and kept the unit really clean- very frustrating...

Hi, I have exactly the same problem with the Healtmate Plus which I received and the noise. I was told by the seller to run it for sometime. Is the smell from your machine gone by now?

There is a propeller/screw type element at the end of the curved pipe - pull that pipe and element up and off the unit... clear any debris in there and make sure that the propeller/screw type element is seated nice and tight and straight and not fouled with any hair or other such stuffs... then re-seat the components. That should stop any rattling... What kind of noise are you hearing? It's not absolutely quiet, there is a bit of splashing that you can hear.

I've had mine for several months, a little bit of a hum otherwise with quiet with running water. You need to return.

I just received my Royal 160MX, and the box was pretty banged up. There's definitely some kind of rattling noise. It's working fine though, but the rattling made me wonder the same thing... if it had arrived broken. So, I guess if you had the same problem and it's still working for you since 2009, I guess it's normal, huh?

Have you tried filling it over the max level? Mine always made some noise, but as long as it was full it was more quiet. I'm sure that you already tried cleaning it and everything else that I would think of... Good luck!

No. It is very unusual. Make sure the tub properly fixed. If it still persists then show it to Breville technical team.

I havent had any trouble with mine, but i have only run around 200 bf through, i have noticed that if there is little ventilation, i smell rubber sometimes during operation, but havent noticed any differences. one thing i will advise is to clean it once youre done, i use compressed air, sometimes the feed rollers dont work so well when they get dust on them. the finish i get is great though.

I haven't had that problem... I believe I'd had this faucet for almost a year now and the finish is still brand new. Sorry you are having that problem. I will pay closer attention to mine now :)

Not sure, we have a smooth tub. We put it down over 8 months ago and it has been great. Went through many appliques before get this and I am so glad we did.

I just got mine a couple weeks ago and have used it 3 times. I do see and hear the steam when using it, it sounds like something might be wrong with yours.

Hey Zandersmom,One suggestion is to replace the impeller, sometimes debris from the water column will get in between the rubber and the socket that the impeller sits in and throws off the alignment. Mine used to make a loud rattling noise, it was very annoying. Once I replaced the impeller, all was quite again. If everything else is intact and there are no operational issues, my best guess, its the impeller. Hope this helps.TG

I have only had mine for about a month. Is your bathroom well ventalated? Or is there alot of moisture building up? I would see if there is a way to contact moen. :)
