Is this blender quiet?

It's not unusually loud, about the same as other blenders. But I have only used it once to make a blended ice coffee drink.

No, this machine is whisper quiet. You'll be surprised at how little noise it makes.

Mine is extremely quiet, especially compared with other models I have owned.

Sorry, it's not quiet at all. It's a very nice size and is great when it works, but truthfully, I've had about 6 of these. They break so easily. I've recently switched to a different brand.

Actually, no. It's quiet silent. I was surprised to hear it. I thought it would be way more noisy.

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

No, it is not. It's pretty quiet. That's why I returned a Black and Decker mixer to Macy's.

It probably is comparable to a blender for noise, we do not find it to be a negative, the machine works well, and is well built

Quieter than I expected -- I grind beef and chicken for dog food. No louder than a blender, obviously meat with bones is louder but very reasonable. I hope this helps...

I don't agree with those who gave it low marks for making smoothies. It is loud but that is a trade off I have been willing to make as it is a powerful mixer. We have a much more expensive mixer that is no longer used now we have this mixer.

No more noisier than a mixer, blender or food processor for the kitchen. If you are in a polymer clay class, yes it is noisy and you cannot hear the the instructor

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.

When you run the item thru the juicer, not quiet but it's literally 2 seconds or so. When it's on, you can still hold a conversation. Certainly quieter then a blender.

Its not bad. Much quieter than the Cuisinart that we bought this to replace. Electric motors are nearly noiseless. The noise comes from the gears that step down the speed of the motor. The big powerful blenders from Blendtech and Vitamix don't have to step down the speed as much. I'm guessing they are quieter. Even still, this isn't offensive..

The motor is not quiet by any means. It's not too bad when idling but when you run the dough through to compress it, it is the loudest sound in the world. My neighbor runs a gear mfg company and said the motor would be quieter if larger.

It is kind of loud - but I don't feel like I have scream to be heard. You do have to talk louder.... kind of a like a blender, a normal blender, not one with a 2HP motor!! Hope that helps!

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.
