How loud is it? Our blender know is just horrible sounding. We're trying to find a durable blender for our 5-day a week smoothies. Thanks!

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!

Honestly, it's pretty loud. But I don't have anything else to compare it to, I bought this after spending 5 years without a blender.

Honestly, I would say avoid this blender for smoothies. Mine burned up on Kale. Take the plunge and buy a Ninja. If I had done so, I would've paid only 100$ instead of 150$ (50 for this blender and 100 for the Ninja.).

I work in a bar. We have waring xtreme commercial blender. We make 20-40 smoothies, milk shakes and margaritas per day. We have had this thing for 4 years. The only thing that broke was the jar. Replaced it and works fine. DO the math 30 uses a day for 4 years. Yea I would say this is a blender worth 300 bucks.

It's not as loud as a blender. On a scale of 10, and 10 being a blender, it's probably a 6 or 7. You are supposed to put a tray of ice inside, but we found a whole tray didn't fit. So maybe minus 2 or 3 pieces.

It's just the normal blender. The noise made by it as I use it has never bothered me as it does its job so quickly. A great blender!

I tried to replace my blender cup because of a chip on the rim (it still holds a seal to use it!). I couldn't find any replacement parts searching online. But the same smoothie blender was on sale on amazon.com with free shipping so I ordered a new one! I'm still using everything except the cup from my original purchase and the o-ring is still good as new! it's in there permanately and you hardly can see it, so its not a peice that will wear out easily. I have used my smoothie maker at least once a day or more since purchasing it almost a year ago and I LOVE IT!!! Its easy to use and blends great! So after a year I'm still very happy with the purchase and I think it was a great buy!! Hope this helps you out!

What's the rubber issue? I have owned my blender for a number of months, use it almost daily and have no issues. I'm extremely happy.

It is a regular blender and I make smoothies with it. I have to say that the power isn't there. I had an OLD blender (30 years old). This does not compare to it at all. I would not buy this again. I guess you get what you pay for.

I don't find it any louder than my former juicer. No louder than the blender either. I believe there are some videos on YouTube that give a demonstration.

It's borderline for smoothies. It really chokes on big chunks of frozen fruit. There is a slightly bigger unit that is actually designed to make smoothies. I'd opt for that one if I were you. I will probably buy one of those.

No... no louder than any other blender, and it works great with the ice, I love it.

Yes it is pretty loud. not as loud as crushing ice in a blender but far from quiet. To work properly you need about a tray of ice. It's a pretty situational appliance but it does come in very handy when unexpected guests stop by and you have no chilled ice. how well it works 8/10, how practical it is 5/10. very cool item over though.

I love mine. As far as noise goes, it does make some noise but it does not bother me. And I guess it depends on what you are using it for. I have only used mine for smoothies with frozen fruit do it is going to make noise grinding frozen fruit. Hope this helps. It is the only one I have used. But Blendtec really stands behind their products.

I guess there has to be some problem with its motor,I didn't overwork for sure,just stopped suddenly.You would definitely wanna keep away from it...I am sure there are better blenders out in d market.

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.

Not me. I've used my blender every day for over a year. I would return it before the warranty expires. Maybe you got a dud.

It is about the same noise level as most blenders. Depending on your own office environment, it might be disruptive to co- workers even if you only use it once a day for a few minutes.
