Will you describe the advantages of this model versus the other listed model 8ldiech-sc-wfc-ssf, which features a filtering system? which is quieter?

It did not work well from the beginning. I asked the company to return it, which they did gladly. Did not replace with the same. I rent one through my water delivery people.

Mary,I don't have that particular model but I would use filter anyway. It could only be better.

Do not buy this unit. I did not give it a good review. Buy the Whisperpure 510 by Whirlpool. It is more expensive, but worth every penny of it. Keeps the air clean and is very quiet. My daughter has had one for several years and is still working.

I would say that the sounds of this air purifier are generally softer than those of a fan, but given the range of fans available it is pretty hard to compare. All in all, this unit is pretty quiet when running and its sound is more of a white noise. I have had this unit for a few weeks now, in my bedroom every night, and find the sounds it produces to be very acceptable and pleasant. Note that the Allergen and Turbo levels (which I haven't used) are louder than the other two and would probably be annoying if too close to your head but OK if across the room.

The less expensive one is just a paper filter. I've noticed that some of the more expensive ones contain carbon to filter out odors. Wasn't really a deal breaker for me. I just wanted to minimize construction dust.

Very muted. The motor is encased in heavy cast-iron, usually in a pit, covered in water, so it is quiet. The heavy duty on/off switch is almost louder than the motor, as you can hear the switch click 'off' after the well has been pumped out. It is much quieter than the plastic unit it replaced. I also highly recommend using the Campbell Quietsump Check valve as well, which eliminated the heavy water hammer we had before. Together the system is nearly silent.

We have this model, and it cools our family room (~200 sq. ft. and lots of windows) very easily. It is absolutely the quietest we've ever had.

We only have the 973 so I can't compare. The 973 is used frequently. It's still going strong and is reasonably quiet. We've had to replace the wood floor attachment, and the plastic on the metal tubes broke and we needed to replace a tube, but it gets a lot of use.

Anything above level 3 is noisy and sounds ugly. I have Winix WAC9500 and it gives smoother white noise on level HIGH that helps me to sleep. This one sounds like turbulence inside due to the design. The air hits the ceiling of the filter tower. However, this machine is much stronger than Winix.

This filter gurgles and sputters,it is not excessively noisy, but it is not quiet. I would say it is noisier than the Aqueon quiet flow 10. It does a good job filtering and the sterilizer has kept my tank Ich free.

Try googling consumer reports with Culligan FM-15A. I don't save copies but it received the highest rating for a non-powered filter.

I have had other fountains and this one is extra nice. It is quiet and very easy to clean. It does not have a shutoff but it will get noisy to get your attention. You will like it. I have red other opinions but if you keep filter clean and dish full you wil be happy.

I'm not familiar with that model. However I am totally happy with the PS210.It has great active noise reduction and good sound quality. I'd buy it again

It's very quiet. The system works great. As noted in other reviews its only weakness ate the plastic hose attachments which can easly replaced with metal units.

All of the 17000 models are basically the same as far as the capacity to clean the air. The difference is in the type of timers and remotes that are used. The basic 17000 has a simple three position switch for speed flow. and can be bought for about $95. The filters are the same on all models.

Yes, this model does have the switch that allows you to toggle between Hybrid Silent Fan Control and Normal modes. I also confirmed on the label that it is the SS-850KM3 version. Enjoy!

I think turbo setting is the loudest. I have mostly used the "general" setting and that's pretty quiet (similar to a table top fan on the lowest speed). I live in a studio and my refrigerator is probably noisier than the fan on the air purifier. The other settings are a bit louder than the general clean setting, but not as loud as turbo, so you can probably sleep with those settings if you're used to the "white noise."
