No, it is not noisy. I don't know if Barker is considered top quality, but it got good reviews.

We started out with a hand crank jack. With the Barker my wife operates the jack and I drive the truck. She has never complaied that the jack is noisy. So far the quality of the Barker has been excellent.

Yes it makes some noise, it's an electric motor! It was one of the top rated tongue jacks at the time I bought mine. I would not be without it, allows me to raise & lower my trailer by just pushing a button! But you should do your own research to verify what I already know.

I have only used my jack once since I purchased it at the end of last season. I have seen other brands at a dealer for repair or replacement. The experience reviews I read indicate this jack is above average. I doubt if any power jack is whisper quiet. I am happy with my Barker VIP jack.

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'm sorry I don't know if you got my first message. I Use it all the time. No noise. It's well wort It; however not to be used by heavy equipment.

Yeah it seems just fine to me. Also, it's a 90 degree jack instead of a straight jack if you know what I mean.

I would rate the noise level as medium. Not exactly noisy, but not whisper quiet. It's a great machine. Very efficient and worth the money. Great suction power.

It is not quiet but not too loud to be disturbing. I have compressor that are way louder. It is about the same sound level as your car engine.

I'm not sure if it is or not. There seems to be other manufacturers that make the same jack. But I do know that I like mine!

Not really very noisy, the noise level is the same as any other piston type compressor.

The noise level is negligible.I had a 9.6 volt and I thought it was sweet until I got the 8220 it is super smooth and rotate 5000 RPMs Faster than my previous model and might even have less operational noise. I really love it.

Its noisy. My Scottish Terrier puts up with it while I dry his furnishings but I use a hand dryer for his beard. Try placing cotton balls in the dog's ears.

Personally, I don't find it to be too noisy. It's considerably less noisy than my compressor. It's just like a whirring/windy sound from a couple of fans spinning. But you might check with the manufacturer for the decibel rating for a less subjective appraisal.

When I went to the barker site and downloaded the brochure on the power jack it listed a 1 year warranty, so I think that is correct. It sounds like you saw a 2 year warranty elsewhere on the site, though, so I recommend contacting Barker about the discrepancy. Just as an update, I've had the jack for about a year now and have been extremely pleased with it.

Any compressor makes some noise. I can carry on a decent conversation with it right next to me; I also have no problem sleeping with the unit on. My pet rabbits are not bothered by it either.

The E'max has a loud ring, I can hear from the kitchen while I'm in the living room. I'm a carpenter, and have had no problems because of saw dust or any dust.

Sorry to take so long with an answer as I am a full timer and traveling. Some people complain about this jack being slow. In my opinion the manufacture has geared it down so it can handle more weight and it really isn't so slow that I would complain about it. I also found this jack to have a very powerful motor. I've bought one for myself and one as a gift we both like the jack. I've discovered that if you wind it all the way up and leave it there the breaker will kick on and off. Just tap the down switch and it will be fine. I don't think anyone would be disappointed with the purchase.
