I've had the unit just over a year and its started making this random, loud, squeak- I change the filters and clean it- any idea what to do?

Call the company and ask for them to repair it. They will charge you money, but it's worth it, because it covers shipping and when you receive your unit back, they insert a new filter. So consider the price to fix it, the price of a new filter. Actually, you never know. They may not charge you to fix it....email/call and find out!

Haven't had this problem. Ask the company to replace it. They should, considering what you paid for it.

Ours makes a ton of noise too. It is very annoying and even wakes our baby up. Did you just call customer service to get a replacement?

My brand new one is extremely noisy as well. The sounds do not come from the belt passing along the treadmill or from my feet hitting the treadmill. There are loud rattles and squeaks that come from the area of the motor. Also, the entire treadmill deck bounces up and down a little when I run on it. So far, I am pretty unhappy with this expensive purchase.

We've not had this problem. I'm sure I don't need to say it, but perhaps a good filter cleaning would help. Maybe there's some manufacturing residue on it or something like that. I hope you're able to resolve this issue because it truly is a great heater.

Not had that problem. Ours is 2 years old and works fine (other than the fact that its very noisy, has always been).

I've had mine for roughly two years and have never had a problem with squeaking or anything else for that matter (after the intitial installation problems were worked out). I would call for service, hopefully still covered by a warranty.

I don't think it is the filter, try to remove the filter and put on the machine to see if it changes............usually loud noise is a sign of motor replacement or maybe something happened to the fangood luck.

Don't really know, but water level may be low, or maybe gunk got into mechanism. Suggest you wash out and refill it. Make sure water is all the way up to the top. The noise should disappear.

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 have no idea since mine doesn't squeak. There's a humming sound when it goes on but that's the fan. Is it the fan that's making that noise? sorry I can't be of more help.

Mine did that too from day one. The box it came in was damaged and I assume that is what caused the weird noises. It wasn't worth the time and money to ship it back so I just used it until it started giving me uneven heat. Then I junked it.

Sounds like you may need a new unit. The first one that was delivered to us got very loud at the 6 month mark. Viva Appliances was awesome and exchanged us for a new one. The new one is super quiet....night and day difference from the first one.

I just got my unit also about two weeks ago and notice a somewhat annoying creeking and clicking sound with every rotation. I have written to the sellers about this but have not received any reply. Will have to call to get an answer.

If there is a noise, it most likely is the filter mechanism itself is clogged. If you remove the box type thing under the filtering system itself, it most likely is full of yuckety yuck. When you clean this out it will probably be OK. If not it may need replacing. ciao!

Sounds like there is an issue or a snail stuck inside.. :P No impeller rattle on mine can be heard. Good luck!

I also just bought the laptop and I am hearing this weird clicking sounds constantly! I called tech support and they said it was part of the HDD Protection Settings, so I turned it off and the noise stopped briefly but came back. I think I will have to call again because this is noisier than the 2007 laptop I had before. If it doesn't stop I will return the laptop.

When I took the fan out of storage this month, cleaned it and used it for the first time of the season, I noticed a tiny squeak at a certain point at the rotation. My husband took care of that and now it's as quiet as ever.
