What size of room is it good for? We have a large bedroom/bath combo.Does it make a fan-like noise?

I use mine in a 1000 Sq ft basement and it heats very nicely. it even heats well down a hallway and separate rooms (when I leave the doors open). it does make a fan noise, but it is extremely quiet.

Yes it makes a fan like noise. It's not super loud, but it could be annoying in a bedroom. It's best for a smaller room: office, small bedroom. I don't think it would really reach into an adjoining bathroom. It's a great space heater, but it's designed for a smaller space.

I like in a VERY small 1 Bdrm Apt, 400 square feet in total, yes it does make "white" noise. I sometimes use my elec blanket, BUT on cold mornings I love the power if turning it in. Some don't like it beeps whenever they push a button, but I like the beep because it reconfirmed that I've pushed something, like occasionally I engage the oscillation.

No fan like noise, very quiet and if you shut the bedroom door I think you should be fine.

Hi Patricia,We use it in our 200 sqft living room and it works really well. The ocilation feature allows you to get more area heated than a normal space heater. However, it does make a fan-like noise when it's running. It's not obnoxiously loud, just a low hum that really ends up being white-noise, and not something we find annoying. Hope that helps a bit!

I think it would be a bit loud for being that close to recliners where you're obviously trying to relax. Unless, of course, you want major air. The solution I came up with for the TV room is this fan:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000RMJANY/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1382477133&sr;=8-6π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70Pretty darn quiet, works great, and the remote is actually useful. I liked it so much, I got a second one for the bedroom. Hope this helps.

The unit is noisy in a small room- with the fan on high especially. Not any noisier than others I have previously owned. I like the portability & versatility of this unit. No regrets.

Its definitely not quiet, but is quieter than others in this price range. It does not have annoying splashy sounds like some others do. Vibration will really depend on how well you install it. I have it in my bedroom about 2 feet away from the bed and can sleep fine, but my wife sometimes complains that its a bit loud for her. One of the pluses of this unit is that the air is aimed up, instead of in your face.

I have never noticed any noise from it. We have it in a common laundry room for an apartment building, and it works very well.

I bought this for my old employer and haven't seen this unit for a long time. I think it had a fan, but I'm not sure. I don't remember it being especially loud. But it was in a temperature-controlled closet with a lot of other equipment, so the whole closet had a bit of a fan-hum to it. Sorry I can't give you more information. Good luck in your purchase.

All there is is a little fan to cool it. I have a smaller one in the living room. Yes, when I'm in the kitchen with the 11 cu ft, I'm aware of the fan being on which assures me it is working. It isn't on often. The sound is not a bit bothersome like the last refrg/combo I had. (not Danby) It was the combo that made it so noisy.

It is very quiet, that's one of the reasons I purchased it. I own this unit for the bedroom and a larger one for the great room.

It is similar to a large box fan on the high setting, which is fairly noisy. Be aware that this unit will suck a lot of air into the room you are trying to cool. If the air coming in is not already fairly cool, this unit won't do much to cool your room. It's kind of like trying to cool a room while leaving another window in the room open. Sealing the room up tight will cause the unit to overheat and cycle on and off. See Hoofhoof's (or my) review.

1) Very high. I would say it's not suitable for bath/kitchen, cause the sound is 6x's my bathroom/kitchen fans. 2) Perfect as a home shop/storage/garage area, as there is no filter, direct venting through wall, and it does move dust and things quickly in my 6' x 20' home hobby shop.3) If you are looking for a replacement or new fan for bath, get a Broan QTRE0808R Ultra Silent. Installing this fan is a snap, really. You cut a hole from their template, reach through and screw in frame, then lift the unit up, push till you hear a 'snap' and its done.

no - probably need a larger fan. We chose this model for 2 bedrooms and it works fine for them.

I do not consider the unit to be loud. It does run a fan continuously to move the air in the room so it does not turn off very much. The unit has an energy star rating. Love the unit - - seems to be one of the best that I've encountered.

It's not extremely noisy but not real quiet either. I have it mounted in my kitchen which is kind of medium sized so that might make a difference. It puts out alot of air though.

On level 1 it's fine. We only keep it on level 1, that seems to be sufficient. On the highest level it is pretty loud. We use it in a 600sqft space, which is not recommended, and it cools the whole room :) hope this helps!

It is not noisy. You can easily have in a bedroom and it will go unnoticed.

It's a 4" fan, and it isn't completely quiet. It makes a sort of 'white noise' kind of thing. Not very problematic, unless you're looking for total silence. It is definitely not a problem for me, and I have it right next to me on a nightstand.

Our toy is not in the same room as the bedroom so it hasn't been a noise issue-it does make some sound but is not really loud.Hope that helps-
