I am replacing an old Conair 1875 with this model and want to know if the low setting blows relatively softly, almost like a diffuser would blow.

I'm sorry I can not answer that because it broke within 3 weeks of getting it. It came with a diffuser, though.

Yes, it is a slow, soft flow of air. But, it is still enough air flow to dry hair very well.

If it's set on Auto, the fan shifts to low. If you look in the specs, low is something like 34db. Super quiet. To answer your question, no. Cheers!

On the low setting it will be pretty quiet. On high there will be a noticeable sound. I like it on my desk because it muffles out other conversations sort of like a white noise. I like this fan a lot.

Yes, I believe it does, though I have only used the cool setting briefly. It definitely blows harder than the cool setting on my last dryer.

They don't call it High Out Put for nothing! On 3 it really blows but is a little noisy, not from the fan but from the air that it moves. I bought two of them after using onw other for over three years. I recommend it highly.

I use it on low and the noise is actually pretty minimal. I can't give you decibels. It is close to my bed and I love the "white" noise it makes. It does put out a lot of air. I use it all year long and I live in Montana. Hope this helps. The wind is a lot more constant than my 12 inch regular fan I use to use.

It is a powerful motor so not super quiet unlike other dryers in the market. As a professional stylist I look for power in the blower. I don't think the noise it does make is super loud, I personally would consider it to be average in noise level.

I had a Conair and another model Revlon. This Revlon Rdvdr 5029 is a lot quieter than those two.

I have not experienced a problem with a low flame setting. However, the control is a bit touchy down at the lowest point.

We are using it in a salon atmosphere where blow dryers are going throughout the day, so I had not noticed if there was much "noise" coming from the unit. Also, we keep it in the back of the salon where it is coolest in the winter. It doesn't appear to be loud but yes, I can hear it blowing when I am close by. Being I'm not in a quiet environment I'm not sure this answer is going to be much help. Have a nice day.

Mine is quiet but it depends on which setting you use. If it's on the lowest and is still very loud then there is an issue.

I use this for ventilation when I am soldering silver. On high it makes a little more noise, on low is very nice and quiet. I use a bigger one for our bedroom and sometimes use in the living room.

On the low setting where I tend to use it it has a low wind sound like a breeze from a distance. Easy to adjust to. On medium, it's just enough to put you to sleep. On high, which I don't use, it is quite noticeable.

this is really super quite compared to most fan operated air blowers. on low and medium settings it is wisper quite and no whinning noise......it also does a good job in circulating the air on a hot day.

This fan generates 'alot' of air, therefore it is not super quiet on the lowest setting. I have a separate, less durable & less noisy fan for the bedroom; in my opinion, the 'low' setting on the Lasko would be comparable to a 'medium' setting on most household fans. Hope this helps.......

It's quite quiet - even on maximum speed i can barely tell that's on. It's kind of like a moderate whisper of air, you know it's there, but it's quite smooth and soft. I've had it running pretty much non stop since I bought it and it's delivered excellently. I sometimes forget it's even there until I put my hand up to the front of it to feel the rush of air.

I consider this fan quiet. Even at low speed (on #1 setting) the fan pushes a lot of air.
