Is the vacuum very loud. I have a Hoover Nano-light which I love but it is extremely loud, even for a vacuum & my dog goes crazy.

No, not loud at all. Just a low level vacuum noise. Your poor doggy! :( MY cat always hides whenever I vacuum!

No, but I do find it very heavy and am not able to get under furniture easily - some pieces not at all. Would not purchase another one.

I don't find it to be any louder than my shop vac. My dog is even ok with it when used for drying.

It's not terribly loud. My shop vac is noisier. Most all of the tools it would be used with are going to be noisier. Good hearing protection should be used regardless of what dust collector is used I have owned mine for two years now and it is performing very well. Much less dust than my previous unit which is why I upgraded. It handles a couple tools at the same time very well. I recommend it. Might cost a bit more than others but worth it.

No. mine is not loud at all. The suction is very strong so you have to be careful when vacuuming.

That's exactly who we bought it for. The unit itself makes a low volume / tone sound. The maximum noise comes from your vacuum cleaner. Fortunately, you can move the vac the distance of the hoses so, our dog tolerates it well - and he's scared of the vac. Secondly, you need to compare pets and measure your situation against ours. He's a King Charles Spaniel crossed with a Bichon Frise (Pic http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/cavachon.htm ) which produces a coat of sillky, curly HAIR, not fur. The Flowbee cuts the hair well but being so fine, it tends to lay down with the approach of the blades required a couple of passes. Also, the spaniel in his bloodline produces a loose skin which tends to be easily stretched which tends to leave spots of long hair which are easily trimmed with scissors. I hope that I have helped not only you, Christopher, but made this broad enough to answer the questions of others as well.

It is not as noisy as a vacuum cleaner, but it does make a noise. However, this version is not user friendly. You will need to remove thee bottom to distend the debris, vs. the initial version, which stays attached to the unit and once empty you can click back in place. And this version does not work as well as the initial version. Works great on hardwood floors, not as well on carpet.

I can tell a difference when the vacuum is on, but it is not very loud. I would say it adds a little but not a whole lot of noise. Make sure the red screw that is there for shipping is removed...if your system is very noisey you may want to contact support.

I love mine, but it is anything but quiet. I have this little one in the garage and a full size shop vac in the basement but honestly there is not much difference in the loudness. It is a shop vac and they are not canister vacs for sure.

All vacuums are not quiet. My Electrolux is just as loud. I'm not a fan of up rights but it serves the purpose at our cabin's. It is light weight and easy to move.

On carpet it is a little noisier than my last vaccuum ( which wasn't a Hoover) but it isn't terrible. The vaccuum works SO incredibly well that I'm ok with the noise, but again it isn't substantially noisier than any other vaccuum I have used. The one situation where this vaccuum is very noisy, is when you vaccuum bare floor with the rollers. If you click off the rollers (with a simple foot press) and use suction only on the bare floor , that makes the noise drop significantly. I use suction only on my bare floors and it picks up everything. Hope this helps.

I own 3 different models of Hoover and not one of them is quiet. They all sound like several vacuums running at the same time; however, they do a decent job of removing dirt from carpeting and general cleaning.

If you find a vacuum that's not loud, please let me know. I've never been able to find one.

If we are talking about my backpack vacuum, the motor is 12 Amps. I have had the vacuum for a year or so and I am still very happy with it. Interesting thing, I found at least four different prices on what seemed to be the same machinePlenty powerful. Lots of suction. If you have lots of deeper rugs, a "power beater" vac may be a good supplement. I have 14 vacuums. (including a couple of shop-type vacs). This is my go to vac because it is so handy. It has a "beater type attachment, but obviously is not as strong as a belt driven one. Plenty powerful though..

Lewis,I read an article about Dyson and his path to designing and marketing his vacuums some time ago that said the company actually increased the noise of the machine for the American market because we perceive loudness to be equivalent to power. In other words, if it were too quiet, Americans would consider it not powerful enough. Having said that, I find the machine no more noisy nor more quiet than comparable vacuums. It's about the same as an Oreck or a Bissel, in my opinion. Hope that helps.

Noise is not excessive, vacuum is great for pet hair removal. I have three cats and they don't mind, however I make sure they are not too close when I use it because they don't like it much.

Does anyone know if the Hoover Platinum with Canister Vac is any good? I was between that and Electrolux but I saw the bad reviews for the Oxygen. We have cats, dogs, children so I vacuum everyday, and seem to destroy a vacuum every 1 1/2 years between everything.... Okay maybe 2x a day... Any suggestions?
