Is the fan really noisy? I was set on buying this but read the reviews about the fan being really noisy. We have an open kitchen/living/family

If the fan to which you refer is the convection oven fan, the answer is no, it is not noisy. The unit appears to be well insulated from sound.

Mine is noisy, but kind of a white noise. If I had it in the bedroom, it would not bother me, but I like that type of noise to be able to cover for other random noises from outside. It is most definitely NOT a quiet unit, though.

This is a very high quality, quiet unit but you can hear the fan running at times. We actually have it in our pantry, so, we don't notice it, but I believe if you had it in a small kitchen, you would hear a low hum.

It is noisy like a small fan is noisy. Not sure why other people say it is quiet, because the heater I bought (and later returned) produced noise like a fan. It has a blower within the heater that pushes out the warm air. If you use it at night and you are accustomed to using a fan, the noise might not bother you. But, the orange light is really bright at night. My recommendation is to go to any local store that has a good return policy, buy a similar heater and try it for a few days. Then, you can return it if you like.

It's relatively quiet for a fan. Anytime you have fan blades moving air, you have a hum, of course, just from the friction with the air, but there is little to no motor sound. I find it quite steady and quiet.

On high speed it is pretty noisy,but not more than a bladed fan. I'm pretty sensitive to noise so maybe it's me. On low it is just fine

I personally think all window units are noisy. We have a newer one in our bedroom and use this model in the dinning room and it does a surprising good job at cooling the whole ground floor of our 5,500 sq ft home. It's about as loud as the one in our bedroom but puts out much more cold air.

Hello Jerseyboy.The fan is a tiny bit noisy, as in you can definitely hear it. But its really hardly noticeable. The only time I notice the fan is when I first turn it on. but after the sound kicks in, you hafto struggle pretty hard to hear it. J. FisherReplicasUSA

Hi, It really depends if the noise bothers you or not. In terms of mini fridges it is on the noisy side, however it never actually bothered me and it's in my bedroom. A friend of mine complained once when sleeping right next to it so I muffled it by putting an unused bedsheet in between the fridge and the wall. So bottom line, it makes noise when running its cycles every so often, but it's by far not unbearable and it can be muffled

Our is loud as well. It is not similar noise compared with our old one, but it is loud. Our kitchen is separated, so we don't mind.

Personally, I don't find it to be too noisy. It's considerably less noisy than my compressor. It's just like a whirring/windy sound from a couple of fans spinning. But you might check with the manufacturer for the decibel rating for a less subjective appraisal.

Quite noisy - we moved it to the basement from the living room. I can't compare to a window AC but it is noisier than a central air. Although it is the proper size for our house, it ran continuously to achieve a 45% humidity for our house.

This is a very loud fan. I use it in both my sons rooms as a white noise (3yr old and 1 yr old). It has a high and low setting, but they are both very loud and block out noise. I can't hear my son crying in the next room when it's on in my oldest son's room. I love this fan. It doesn't make an annoying rattle noise either. Hope this helps!

Ours is not even in the house; it is about 1000 feet downhill; however, when it kicks on, it is fairly quiet. I think if it were in our basement or somewhere in our house, it would be difficult to hear. I certainly would not call it noisy....my old one was, however. This one is nearly silent in comparison.

Not very noisy. I have it in my living room and it doesn't bother me with the TV or anything. The only problem with it is my tv remote randomly turns it off. I would say it works great and you should buy it. Good luck!

Ours is quiet. It doesn't run constantly. We do hear the fan kick on, hum and then wind down when it goes off, but it's not a problem, just like "white noise", which you get used to. The fridge is sitting on carpet, about 12 feet from our bed. So it is not loud enough to disturb us! Be sure to allow a couple inches of venting space behind the fridge when you put it against the wall. And do not overload the door shelves, like with heavy soda, the door will gradually shift lower if it is over weighted.
