Is this blender noisy?

if you are making a smoothie with frozen fruit, you would have to raise your voice in order to talk to someone. it isn't a noise that is annoying...

Yes, I would say so. It is about the same as other blenders I have owned. You can discount my answer a bit in that I was not even aware that there were quiet blenders available.

Yes, I've had the 180 for about 7yrs. It's a stout unit. BUT, it's incredibly noisy and the clutch (gear on base unit) lasts about 2yrs. I make smoothies 3-4 times per week with fresh and/or frozen fruit. That's all the use this thing gets. To me, it seems like something is not right to make it this noisy and the clutch wear fail like it does. The clutch just went out last week again. So I'm looking for a new blender at this point :-( Too bad because this feels like it should be a lifetime machine.

It can get loud depending on what items you are blending. You wouldn't want to use it with a sleeping child in the next room, but it's not so noisy that it hurts. :-)

One of the things I noticed about my blender was the noise it made when blending. I would describe it as louder and "rougher" sounding than I expected. I notice that if my put my hand on top of the container while it was blending, it seemed a little smoother. It does seem to be doing a pretty good job and I use it every day. My first experience with this blender was at a small produce stand in California. As I recall, it was very quiet and smooth during the blending. I'm not sure what the answer is. Mary

It makes the normal blender sounds. It would depend on what you are blending. Adding crunch veggies would make it sound louder.Really you are only blending for no more than a minute right? It is portable I suggest when using it in an open work environment take it to the break room to blend if you think people will complain.

It's not unusually loud, about the same as other blenders. But I have only used it once to make a blended ice coffee drink.

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 ...)

Mine is actually very quiet. I had another model that was extremely noisy, so I am very happy with this model.

I love mine. As far as noise goes, it does make some noise but it does not bother me. And I guess it depends on what you are using it for. I have only used mine for smoothies with frozen fruit do it is going to make noise grinding frozen fruit. Hope this helps. It is the only one I have used. But Blendtec really stands behind their products.

I don't find it any louder than my former juicer. No louder than the blender either. I believe there are some videos on YouTube that give a demonstration.

Noise level is about like any other blender. Easy to clean, dishwasher safe. I LOVE MINE!!!

It is not as loud as a blender. Maybe closer to the hum of a microwave, but one decibel louder. Mine squeaks a little, I guess because it is refurbished. It also depends on how sound travels in your home. It is one of the best juicers I have used so far and this is my third try at a different name brand. I love it!

It's quite loud. If you are looking for a quiet model this may not be for you.

It's not loud but beware before buying. It's a beautiful blender but after about 6 uses making ice fruit smoothies the motor burned-ou. Maybe be great for liquids only.

Hi Saven,It is not noisy at all. If you are going to use it as a freezer only, make sure to set the temperature on freezer.

Yes, it is a little noisy but not unbearable. I have shredded for 45 minutes without being annoyed by the sound. It is micro and it is moderately fast.

It's no louder than any other blender. I just use it to make smoothies so I can't comment on nut butter.
