How quiet is it compared to the corded versions and the lower voltage pet version? Thanks.

By my standards not very. I think it is quieter than my old one was. It is definitely quieter than my daughter's and hers is smaller.

I have used a corded version. Ectaco offers a cordless version of the device too.

The robots we have, (five of them), are not noisy at all compared to a regular vacuum. We can have one running in the same room with us while watching television with just a slight increase in volume. If I sleep late, my wife can run one in another room without disturbing me. (Provided the door is shut). I would judge that the db level is just a little above that of a dishwasher. For the value received, the robot sound is very tolerable

Its pretty loud. I use ot on dogs though, and they tolerate it fine. Also, it gets the job done so quickly it shouldnt be an issue. I would think that unless your neighbors are REALLY sensitive or right on top of you it shouldnt be an issue. It's no louder than say and electric leaf blower.

It's very quiet. There is a little noise from the plug as it vibrates but if put on a absorbing surface, no noise. The bubbling is quiet but you can hear it if you are within 2-3 feet of the unit.

fairly quiet but even with alot of insulation u can still hear it. its really not annoying sound though. i m quite pleased with the two i have. they come with i think its a 50 foot power cable. i ve got both solar panels located on one end of my roof and a fan at each end inside, with plenty of cable left over. i have a 4 bedroom home. dont really know if they move the amount of air advertised, but it does keep it alot cooler up there.

I purchased 2 and both are quite quiet as opposed to other models I have had. Quiet is relative though I guess. I for example, need a fan going to sleep at night.

It's moderately quiet. Doesn't work very well for eliminating pet hair. I was disappointed and would gladly give mine away.

Yes it is quiet compared to other models I have had in the past. Works real well too!

the Powermate PM101207 is a 4 stroke ,and it has a moderate decibel level. I use it for my pickup camper and use a 25 ft cord and the noise levels are hardly noticeable

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.

Bought this unit because I needed a quiet portable AC unit as well and the specs said it was 55 db. I used a phone app to measure the db and it wasn't 55 db, it was closer to 70 db. I'm in a 15x15 room that I use as my home office and the unit was about 4 feet away and it was loud. After about 30 minutes I had a headache. I could maybe use the phone and like a previous poster said, I had to turn up the volume on my TV about 2-3 notches. Anyway, I wouldn't consider this unit "whisper" quiet, its not as loud as other air conditioning units but try having something thats putting out 70db constantly and it can get quite irritating after a while.

It is very quiet. It is much quieter than other small appliances. The impact on my energy bill is insignificant.

Its not that loud. I hooked it up then unhooked it and went with a different model.

No more than any other one I have owned, I would not say its quiet, but on par with other low priced vacs:-)
