Happy with the performance vacuuming. I have not tried the “quiet” mode yet, but running on “normal” mode, my significant other came down and shut it down manually telling me it’s way too noisy.
Since it’s second hand, I don’t know how noisy it should be. Does anyone has noise (dB ?) measurement they can share? Just want to make sure there isn’t anything I’m missing.
I don’t have one (I recently bought something else because a critical feature for me is bagless self empty), but I’d probably start by referring to the same resource noted in Vacuum Noise level, which is this:
I am not sure at what distance the knowledge article was at in their readings, but I just ran a dB recording on my WRV from a foot away and below are my findings, very similar to the KB @Crease linked to.
Also keeping in mind digital sound meters can vary as well.
In my opinion, Strong mode is no louder than a standard vacuum cleaner and quiet mode is quieter than a standard vacuum cleaner.
