I have a few questions about this unit. How loud is the unit and is it energy star rated?

It is a little louder than a normal fan. For me and my wife it's too loud to have it on in the bedroom. Instead, we turn it on when we are not in the room (e.g., when we leave for work). Besides, it warms up the air. So, overall, while we use it a lot (it helps to dry the walls, etc), we would not have it working next to our bed when we are sleeping. And yes it does have the star.

It is Energy Star certified. Noise - I have owned a few 50 pt humidifiers and this one is by far the quietest. I purchased this unit to replace a much noisier unit, and I wasn't disappointed. I would say that the noise level is similar to that of a table fan. It is certainly heard but it blends into the background after a while. Note that the fan runs constantly. The compressor doesn't add much noise to that of the fan. I have mine in a room near the hvac unit which is open to my living space, and it doesn't add much to the ambient noise.

I do not consider the unit to be loud. It does run a fan continuously to move the air in the room so it does not turn off very much. The unit has an energy star rating. Love the unit - - seems to be one of the best that I've encountered.

It is not too bad from a noise perspective. Mine runs in the basement almost constantly and is OK. If you spend a lot of time next to it the noise could be of concern. The unit is energy start rated but my electrical consumption has significantly jumped this year. Mainly because I have the drain hose connected to it so it runs much more than my old unit where I would forget to empty the bucket on a regular basis.

It was a little loud if in the same room with a TV. Sort of like white noise. I had major problems with leaking. The auto shut off when fill never worked so when full it flooded. Also it clogged often and flooded the floor. It worked well when running. If you drain into a sink with a hose, you will love it. I had to empty the bucket and I finally gave up and got another brand after so many floods was damaging my wall.

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.

Hi, I am not sure what the wattage is, but I can tell you this unit is very energy efficient. I used to use a window fan for noise, and this does not draw as much power. It is small. I feel it is smaller than most units. However, don't let the size fool you. It is great. The sound is incredible. There are many different sound options. I have been sleeping great since using this. I hope I was able to answer your question.

I had found a db rating elsewhere on the web and it was comparable to similar models of this size, VERY loud. The only "quiet" generator I know of is the Honda, but they are very expensive.

It isn't silent, but by no means would I describe it as noisy. Just a low hum. Have it in my small bedroom and no problem...and I don't like noise. Energy wise the only time my bill goes up is during air conditioning weather. I live in NY. I am going to buy another one for my other bedroom I like it that much.

It's rated at 1875 watts, but I suggest you check out my review prior to your purchase. My review is the 1st one on the list (at least today, on Amazon), it's a 1 star review, my name is "Robert", and it's from 11/17/11. Most other reviews are favorable, it was simply my own experience....

I have it hooked up to a 50watt receiver and I haven't had any crackling or distortion and I get really loud when I'm listening to loud, heavy bass movies or music. Haven't had any over heating problems either during heavy use. Overall it does a great job in my living room. I wouldn't go trying to power a concert hall or an outside event. This is strictly close quarters, home situation, small back yard stuff.

My shop is directly under our sun room. We live in the sun room. My unit is mounted to the ceiling joist in the shop which are the floor joist for the sun room. The unit cannot be heard in the sun room. In the shop where I generally work within 6 feet of it, I run it on low speed most of the time. Low is OK. I'll go to high speed when I am sanding. I find medium and high too loud when I don't have other noise making devices running. Keep in mind that I am a person that does not like loud music. I do not have music playing in the shop.

SLS: I don't recall any sound rating for the unit; however, it's quieter than all of my shop vacs. It does produce ambient noise while in use, but if you're using it with machines, the machines are generally going to be louder than the unit. The unit is pulling a lot of air, which in my experience is the source of most of the noise (air flow, not motor noise). I've had mine for almost 7 years now, and I am happy with it.

My roomate knows all of specs. It's a solid machine though. It's noisy at times, but keep it on low while you have guests and/or watching TV. Auto while out of the house/apartment.

The noise level is very acceptable, considering the fact that you have no electric. Solid generator. Bought mine 6 yrs ago, money well spent.

I cant answer that. I'm still waiting on electrician to hook it up. I have it running, but not wired to service panel yet. my only opinion so far is it is much noisier than I was expecting. I'm concerned about that with city noise ordinance.overall, I believe it is a good value.

I believe it's rated at 30 watts. I use this karaoke player for practicing my music sets at home and also use it as my player/video/audio monitor at my performances. With the player being so unobtrusive, I just face the unit toward me and use a 600 watt PA to project sound to the audience. I just hook the player directly into the PA. I've been doing karaoke for a number of years now all the way back to laser disc days. This player is the easiest one I've ever used.

Hi I did not finish installing the generator so I don't know how loud it is. When I go back to Florida this fall I will finish installing it and hope it runs quite.Sorry I can't help you. I can tell you it seems to be well made.

Based on my experience this appliance operates very softly and with very low decibel. I am not aware of the high energy usage.

It's an awesome unit, I live in New Mexico and it gets really hot here sometimes,we do alot of summertime fishing while the wife stays in the camper with AC, TV and all the other Electronics one can think of. This little generator kicks butt, it's a little louder then the Honda but not by much. Definitely worth the money! Take care of it and it will take care of U. Hope this helps.
