I just received this in the mail. It makes a LOT of noise when its heating up. Is it suppose to do this? Or did I get a bad one?

I think mine makes a little noise, but definitely not a lot--sounds like yours may have something wrong with it.

There is a little bit of noise when I warm mine up but it is not that loud, I would describe it as a very soft humming.

Yes mine did as well. It made a buzzing noise and got hot as well. I just stopped using it. It is a very poor product and I will not be ordering anything from them again.

No noise with mine other than paper feeding through it. Mine doesn't get hot at all! Only problem I have is getting pages to feed straight.

Hi Patricia...I had the same thing happen to mine but the high pitched noise eventually occurred on all of the speeds. It was not constant...it would come and go but it was very annoying. Couldn't figure out a way to get into the unit to see what was going on. Seemed to me to be some sort of lubrication issue. In any event we really liked the air purifier so we just purchased a new one. It works great and it's one of the least expensive on the market.

I don't think it's normal. That is why I returned mine. Would not run for more than a few minuets before overheating and the safety would shut it off. I know of people who have had success with it but not me and looks like not you either. I'd return it because overheating that quickly could lead to blown fuses or fire.

I have the larger model. I have cooked White and GABA brown on this. It is not very loud. There is a low hum while it is cooking/prepping from the internal fan, which sounds like my laptop when it isn't working very hard. If yours sounds like a grinding noise I would suspect that either something is in your fan causing it to grind, or you otherwise have a faulty fan. I don't think there are other components in there which are capable of making loud noises. Unless there is some process of induction cooking for which I am unaware that might cause this.

Shouldn't be that loud or, going off that frequently. You can perhaps turn the temp a little? I had one unit that made noise, but the new one is pretty quiet.

Mine makes a noise when I press the button like it's building up to steam. It's sort of a gurgling or water popping kind of sound. That's normal. Does that help?

I have not had any problems with it. The main suggestion is to be sure that the unit is pushed to the "off" position before laying it down after you have finished with it. Like anything else, left unattended it could burn someone or something, especially while still hot. Listen for the "hiss"--no sound, it is usually off. When in doubt, remove the thermal unit. It's great not being restricted to using an outlet.

Him, mines usually not. It does make noise when its heating up the reservoir of water which is how you have hot water instantly...hope that helps!

I have not experienced that with mine. Sounds like thermal expansion of metal. If its under warranty have it replaced, otherwise love it or leave it!

Sounds like it's overheating, I had attached a fan to mine and it worked great.

Ella, this is very odd. Mine does not make any noise and the temperature display does not flash so something is wrong. You might have received a faulty unit. You might want to call Amazon. I hope this helps you. I am sure this is irritating for you. Sorry, Cindy

We haven't experienced this issue. Ours it's nice and quiet. It may be a problem with the hook up our something.

Sorry, seems like you got the lemon in otherwise great appliance. I have use it everyday and have not experienced this kind of problem. I set the timer at night and wake up to the aroma of coffee wafting through my apartment. The only noise it makes is the burr of the grinder. I suggest you return your unit as defective and request an exchange. Companies are usually very good about this since they don't want to lose customers due to bad publicity.

No, I didn't resolve it. I tried 3 different ones, and they all had the same noise. Let me know if you end up going with the same model from a different store, I'm interested to see whether this is a problem with Amazon's batch or the entire line. It's too bad everywhere else is so much more expensive than Amazon though...
