How loud is this blender? I am looking for a quieter option to replace my Oster.

My last blender was a cheap Oster. I just turned on my Dash blender to listen specifically to the loudness of this blender. I think it is quieter than my last blender for sure. I still think blenders are loud in general. I hope this is helpful.

According to my sound meter, 80dB at 10 ft. It takes 54 sec to do a smoothie. Do you want a good smoothie or a quite blender ?

It is fairly loud, definitely frightens my baby. But works well! So glad I purchased it. A great buy compared to the cost of vitamin or blended, but still comparable quality as far as I can tell.

I can't tell you in decibels, but it is pretty loud. Too loud to operate in the morning when some are still sleeping

It's quite loud. If you are looking for a quiet model this may not be for you.

I make smoothies all the time in it. It handles ice and frozen strawberries, but it takes a bit longer than a $200 blender would. I would buy it again because for the price it does the job fine. It's also easy to take apart and clean. The negatives would be that it is loud. I also love the food processor attachment!

The model number is on the bottom of the blender. However I think that all standard Oster blenders use the same blades. Generics abound. You can pick one up at Walmart. I bought mine from Amazon because I added it to an existing order.

i am disappointed to hear all of this about leaking from a 400.00 appliance. I have been shopping for a powerful blender and was leaning towards the Blendtec but now am thinking the Vitamix may be the way to go.

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.

Definitely less quiet than a blender. You can have a conversation while the unit is one - but may need to raise your voice just a little.

I returned mine quickly. It is a glorified blender. The sugar allows it to stay "slushy" longer...

I was researching this blender to make baby food as well. Did you purchase this model? If so, how is it working for you?

It isn't as loud as my blender... It isn't quiet but I wouldn't describe it as loud either.

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!

Not as loud as a blender, but it's not quiet. I can her it from my room if the door is closed.

Noise level is about like any other blender. Easy to clean, dishwasher safe. I LOVE MINE!!!

It's has less noise than a blender. It requires 2 trays of ice, you can put less depending on size of the item you want to cool. I got it as a present, it was a big hit.

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.

I did, and it works well. This is one of the best features of Oster blenders.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you but i'm ill. Just for you I searched for my mason jar and tried this experiment. RESULTS: it works great as long as you 1. always make sure the rubber seal is secure in place before you start and 2. if you stop at any point to add ingrediants, clean the rubber and bottom otherwise it will slip and get cut in the rotor ( like mine). The good thing about Oster blenders is all parts are replaceable. Hope this answer is helpful
