Is this a quiet machine? I have not shaved my kitty before and he is 8, I am afraid he will be too scared if it makes a loud noise when it is on.

I think it is definitely quieter than other models. I have had 2 other machines and this one is decidedly quieter, not silent but more of a medium soft buzz.

I am very pleased with my Wahl pet groomer. It sounds like normal barber shears, so it may scare your kitty.

I am not sure a cat should be shaved. I owned many cats & I never shaved any of them. Of course the clippers make noise, quiet to an animal is subjective.

I guess mine is pretty loud too...its definitely not the quietest electric razor. Comparing the noise to other hair trimmers devices though rather than razors makes it seem about normal in how loud it is...it is more similar to the noise of other hair trimmers.

I don't hear any noise, I like this bed so much I got a second one- I have a 14 year old Shitzu and she absolutely loves it- I leave both plugged in all day - 1 bed is upstairs & 1 bed is downstairs- I had to get a second one because she was staying in the upstairs bed all the time- I do have a light blanket over the heater pad- you can feel the warmth through it- I unplug the downstairs at bedtime as we sleep upstairs- if I don't preheat the downstairs she goes back upstairs:) hope this helps

It can become noisy is you don't follow the cleaning instructions. Also I'd suggest to set their room up and tunr this on prior to them going to bed. Any noise that it does put out is really just white noise; we feel it helps our kids sleep.

My cat has short hair but personally, I wouldn't recommend trimming the hair: the prongs are approx 1/2" long and end up against the cats throat because of the weight. To me, it would be especially uncomfortable on bare skin even when turned off, or nowhere near the device.

I cannot answer your question regarding grooming your cat, but I use these to groom my two Cocker Spaniels. They are the quietest clippers that I have used, but they do make some noise. As far as vibration while holding them I have found minimal vibration.

I've used this to shave numerous cats at the local animal shelter (mainly due to excessive mats that could not be combed out), and yes, it will work. However, it's true that it is noisy and some cats don't like it, but from my experience, the loud 'click' when it's turned on is the scariest part, so I usually turn it on away from the cat, let them calm down a little and get used to the noise, and then proceed.

It's very quiet. It does have some noise but it is a slight buzz. My cats are not afraid of it.

Its not that loud. It's sort of the same buzz that an electric shaver. Hope this helps! =)

It seemed to pull the hair rather cut the hair. It's pretty quiet. I haven't tried it with shaving cream. If I wanted to use shaving cream I would go with a straight razor.

They aren't very loud I have had louder ones.. I have a problem getting through my cats fur with the blade that came with it..I think with a better blade it would go right through my cat's fur. My cat is part Siberian and she is extremely furry. Her fur gets matted on her backside there I have issue with the blade.. I would suggest getting a better blade ,but the unit itself seems to be good.. Hope this helps

The newest unit with the window for your kitty is not terribly loud. However, if you are sharing a room with the unit, you will hear it and there is no question about that. Eventually, you will probably grow accustomed to the sound. The beautiful thing, is there is virtually no odor. I am pretty cautious about cleaning the drawer every ten days or so. Also, if you have a large cat say over 12 lbs., this may not be a good choice. One of my cats is close to 20lbs and simply can not fit. My smaller one has no problem an uses this unit all the time because she is meticulous about her litter area.

No. mine is not loud at all. The suction is very strong so you have to be careful when vacuuming.

I haven't noticed any noise. I leave it plugged in overnight, it is outside for a feral cat. It doesn't seem to get to hot, the cat won't get off of it:) I'm in Las Vegas and it can go down into the low 40's at night here and the cat loves the heating pad.

I agree. It's very noisy. Much more so than previous Panasonics and Braun.Also, for me it did not shave well, wet or dry. Another problem is that the shaver heads get HOT and uncomfortable, soon after you start shaving.

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

This machine started off quiet, but soon after started squeaking at the handles. I live in a house so no neighbors to bother but I still use a mat under it. The main noise for me are the handles that squeak at random. Not a really big deal for me. I still love it. Good luck!!
