what were you using it for the smoke is kinda normal the noise will subside as you evacuate the unit but make sure it has vacuum pump oil in it to the min max line on site glass

My best answer is that this device is a high volume pump and pumps make noises.... That is the best answer i can come up with.

I bought one and used it one time and had to return it stoped working. they replaced it and I used it for about three months and it stopped working

Many powerful pumps are noisy, just like small air compressors. The "smoke" is vaporized oil - it's normal.

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.

Same thing here also. I was concerned that mine might be defective. Probably should not say this, BUT, I just had to open it up, very carefully, and check it out. The motor wasn't hot or anything. The motor was an open face, made completely of metal, and was not hot to the touch. Looks like it should last for a while. The smokey residue was from the brushes. I have used it 2 times afterwards, with no apparent problems, and the smoking part is not as much. Works fine for me!!!

I'm sorry, but we've only been using it for about a week. I can say that in the last week, we have had that same issue. I was hoping it was just am issue with the vacuum getting to know its surroundings, but it seems like that may not be it.

I haven't had this problem but there is a small rubber plate at the bottom of the unit - if you unscrew it, there might be a clog in there. Also, replace the filters which might be dirty. I'm probably stating the obvious but also make sure the hand held nozzle is secure in the side. Hope that helped a bit. I've had my vaccum for 3 years now and haven't had any problems.

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.

The two I have are very quiet. Get a plumber, maybe you have a air vacuum issue.

I too have encountered the same issues. This is my second Dyson, but it will be my last. If you still have the time to return yours I would recommend doing so and purchasing one of the newer Sharks! This has been the biggest disappointment. Best of luck.

Tried mine last night for the first time, makes so much noise that I had to go back to my old unit. Will try again in a different area and see if that helps

Hello Virginia, I moved before having to clean it but would use my vacuum brush on it periodically so the dust wouldn't build up. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.

Our pump works perfectly and is very quiet. It sounds as though you may have a faulty pump.

Well it is noisey but I can't tell how noisey her's is. It's not as noisey as my old vacuum but it's definitely not quiet. I wouldn't recommend you buying this vacuum either way. It's not very good and is overpriced.

Mine is noisy too, a high pitch whirring sound. I wondered if mine was broken as well but it has great suction so I think it's suppose to sound like that :)

The only thing I found that reduces the noise is adjusting the air flow by moving the collar back and forth on the hose. This increases or reduces the air flow and changes the whistling noise. You can also try a different shop vacuum. I am using a larger shop vacuum currently and that has alleviated alot of the noise problems I had with the smaller shop vac.

Hello,I got this vac and have had no problems. There was a bit of a smell the very first time I used it, but by the second time there was nothing noticeable. Mine has been a wonderful machine to use with absolutely no problems. I hope that you have the same experience.

I have never had this problem. Sounds like a poor contact between the battery and the vacuum or maybe the vacuum is plugged.

I am guessing something is missing. I have had two of these vacuums and never had this problem. You may want to return it and let them know it is defective. Hope this helps.
