My brand-new one is making RR-rr-RR-rr-RR noises, on continuous blending, not pulse. Making regular smoothies, not grinding seeds or pesto. Any input?

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

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.

No problems for me, I used it several times to make smoothies and it is working very well.Michael

If it is in good working condition, it will make a smoothie. However, MY unit was defective. It made a horrible noise, shaked and acted like it was going to explode. I did get mymoney back so they were good about that. I had an Acme juicer for years and years, it's an older juicer, but it was stainless steel, and worked so well. I was sorry I gave it away when I got the Big Boss. I still have not gotten another juicer so now I am without. I WOULD NOT recommend this terrible juicer. There has to be something else out there that is good. Maybe the Breville juicer. Sorry, them's the truth. If it is in good working condition, it will make a smoothie. However, MY unit was defective.

Yes, the clicking noise seems to be a 'normal' thing. Mine has done it from the beginning. I was not as worried about it as several reviews I read before purchasing mentioned the same clicking noise. The noise has continued and the mixer works great. (I owned for 1 year). Soooo I guess it is to be expected -- ie 'normal'!

I ended up returning mine. It worked well on smoothies for a week or two then it wouldn't crush up the ice in the smoothies. I hope this helps.

Is the recall you are referring to in response to those black specs that come out into your blend? Or is that something completely different and unrelated? Does this blender have that black spec problem? I really want a vitamix but that is a deal breaker for me with my gastroparesis and weak stomach. Thanks in advance for your help! Take care and be well. Happy Holidays to you!

Sorry, seems like you got the lemon in otherwise great appliance. I have use it everyday and have not experienced this kind of problem. I set the timer at night and wake up to the aroma of coffee wafting through my apartment. The only noise it makes is the burr of the grinder. I suggest you return your unit as defective and request an exchange. Companies are usually very good about this since they don't want to lose customers due to bad publicity.

It sounds defective. My mother board failed and I was unable to contact the company. It was out of warranty, but I really hadn't used it much. So now I have a new jar and a kaput blender.

Sounds like the motor burnt out due to the faulty bearing under the blender blades.It will be an on going issue. I agree with M. Sloan.

Depending on what your blending.. I blend frozen fruit and yogurt and it muffles the sound.. with nothing in it, it can be a tad bit loud.

I mainly use the blender for salsas and smoothies. Although, one of the ingredients for smoothies are nuts. I have noticed that in order to blend the seeds or nuts, i have to push it to the highest speed. Is this normal?

I have the larger model. I have cooked White and GABA brown on this. It is not very loud. There is a low hum while it is cooking/prepping from the internal fan, which sounds like my laptop when it isn't working very hard. If yours sounds like a grinding noise I would suspect that either something is in your fan causing it to grind, or you otherwise have a faulty fan. I don't think there are other components in there which are capable of making loud noises. Unless there is some process of induction cooking for which I am unaware that might cause this.

It's as loud as your average blender. Just put all the ingredients in the blender and leave the room so you don't have to hear the noise - works for me!
