once you get familiar with the system then you'll appreciate it it is built to last and very easy to operate....if wasn't... AMAZON my hero would recommend a different brand.

I don't think any vacuum is quiet. However, I do not find it to be any louder than your average vacuum. It is a sturdy, well built vacuum, not excessive heavy. The only negative things I have found are the hose can get tangled close to the base area at times and the vacuum head is a bit long. My previous vacuums was shorter enabling me to get into smaller spaces. Other than that, it's a decent vacuum, however, I don't love it.

Yes the vac. is quiet. I was not happy with it. I have owned an Electrolux for about 25 years, and really liked the looks of this one.. However when I got it, I was not pleased with it. You may like it, but I did not. Pleas don't let my displeasure with the machine sway your decision. I wanted one like the one I had, and they don't make them anymore..

While it is not whisper quiet, it is powerful due to the motor which does make noise. I would recommend going to youtube and looking this product up as their are product videos on there so that will at least give you a better idea of how noisy it is. Thank you ! Magic Mikes Premium Pleasure

Well it is kind of loud I guess but if it's louder than other vacuums it's not enough to be bothersome at least to me. It is super lightweight and portable and it gets your carpet really, really clean as long you empty the canister and clean the filter regularly. It's the best vacuum I have ever purchased. Even though it's not the high end expensive type of vacuum like Dyson I would still buy 3 or 4 of them even if I was a millionaire. I often bring it upstairs to my bedroom from the living room while my old vacuum is still in my bedroom taking up space. It's way better than my old one especially since it is so lightwieght and portable. Best of all it works really well at getting the carpet clean.

I think it is definitely quieter than other models. I have had 2 other machines and this one is decidedly quieter, not silent but more of a medium soft buzz.

It is certainly NOT quiet. Great and heavy duty, but not ultra quiet. Sorry! :)

No. I don't think it is noisy nor do I think it is noiseless. I didn't really think of the sound it produces until you posted this. It makes a reasonable amount of noise. The brushes are turned by the rotation of the wheels and do make some noise, but nothing I would consider out of the ordinary for its type of mechanism. (It is quieter than my Dyson ...)

I would not call it quiet, but its not intolerable. I do not know about the motor.

I really don't know what to say. My vacuum was on the loud side from day one. And I found it works best on carpet. You should get in touch with Eureka and see what happens.

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

Yes, it does make noise, but no louder than any normal vacuum cleaner you would use on a rug in your house. However, IF you want a handheld vacuum that REALLY sucks, this is the one you want. No battery powered hand held vacuum can come even close to it.

I don't feel it's too noisy at all. It's about the same as other vacuums, plus it works better.

It has a high pitched noise (similar to a hand held portable car vacuum) but because it is battery powered it is definitely quieter than a regular vacuum with a much more powerful motor. Be advised though that the manuafacturer recommends that once started that you let the battery run down (roughly 12-15 minutes) rather than turning off. This extends the life of the battery. I clean approximately 1,000 square feet of hardwood, tile and lenolium floors and it is still running for 2-4 more miuntes afterwards.

It is sounds like an average vacuum cleaner. It is hard to create a good vacuum quietly.

None of these answers seemed very clear to me. The noise level is quite impressive. It is very decently quiet on the lowest setting and yet you still get very strong suction out it. On the highest setting, it is about as loud as most any vacuum. (which is still not bad). If I had a decibel reader, I would give you a more detailed and accurate answer.

The shark is not very noisy and it has attachments for furniture. Using the vaccum as an upright is not very good on bare floors. The bare floor attachment works but I don't like taking the time to switch it all the time
