How loud is the blower for this item? I'm thinking about using this in my basement.

We have only used it outside - so it doesn't seem too bad - but in a basement it would be loud enough to have to raise your voice to talk

It's loud but not obnoxious, we use it in the bedroom and it does not effect the rest of the house.

It's not that loud! I use it in my house and it keeps the kids happy for hours!

I bought this for my daughter for her birthday last year and we use ours inside. The blower isn't too loud, the girls most definitely are louder than the blower while jumping in it.

It is not very noisy. I have owned several dehumidifiers and it is the quietest one i have had

You will find it too loud honestly. I have a basement/cave and we put it on 3/4 on the other side of room

Actually it is not that loud. The best description is a little louder than a blow dryer and not as loud as a leaf blower. I use it in my house. Hope this helps

A bit louder than a Honda generator. I ran it on the side of my house and was able to watch TV about 25 feet away in my house with no problems. My house is well insulated and has newer windows. That may be a factor also. Thought originally I would have to build a sound barrier but didn't need to. Only heard a hum.

It's pretty loud - you're not going to want to inflate this with other people sleeping. But it's not as loud as some I've heard. I had one with an external pump and that was like a jet engine. This is more like a blow dryer.

I use it in the basement also, but it is incredibly quiet. I have had family members comment on how quiet it is in comparison to the unit they have in their living areas.

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.

It is somewhat loud. The higher the setting, the louder. I use it in my garage and it works well.

Not bad at all. It uses a larger, slower fan to move the air (can kind of see the cut-outs for it on the right side of the unit in the picture). We use it in the garage to drive a noisy high-speed spindle, though, so noise hasn't been a concern for us.

Probably too noisy for routine use that close to conversation, TV, etc. Ours is about 20 ft down a hall and that's OK. Hard to make a fan that is quiet and still puts out the volume that this one does -- you can feel the breeze from it 30+ ft away!

I use it in a "bonus room" over the garage in my house. It makes about as much noise as a window air conditioner. The unit sits in the room so you hear the compressor and fans. It is quiet enough that my grans kids (6 and 8 years old) do not complain.

Depends on where it is used. In the garage it isn't bad, but in a bedroom it will seem louder. Hope this helps.

No it is not loud. You can here it running but acceptable. I have it installed in my basement bar and love it. I only turn it on when I am having company. This unit will require a floor drain or condensate pump. Very happy with the unit. Hope this helps.

The blower is not annoying loud...but it's not quiet. I will say that BY FAR this is my daughters favorite activity. It's REALLY safe...I will caution you that you will need at least 1000 balls for the ball pit for it to be safe for a child to jump, slide or fall into. CAN'T BE THE PRICE FOR THE QUALITY!!!

I would compare the blower to a vacuum cleaner, it's pretty loud. And yes, it must be on, if you turn it off the bouncy deflates right away. This is a great product! I am VERY happy :)
