Agree with Ronnie, Geo and Al,
Noise never crossed my mind.

I love any product that does what it is supposed to do and this fits the bill.

Noise may be an issue if you're opening a smoothie stand but for the limited time you need to use a blender it's not intolerable. In my previous home I had a Hobart commercial dishwasher with a 90-second cycle. It was pretty loud. For 90 seconds. My current Bosch is superquiet but it takes an hour or so per load.

There are companies that sell BLENDER ENCLOSURES if you think noise is an issue.

Costco Niles has Vitamix for what seems a decent price. I have a Vitamix, not this model, so can't comment on this exact one. I bought mine at Restaurant Depot 4-5 years ago, after falling in love with the one at the restaurant I worked. Runs like a champ, I get the feeling it would grind concrete to dust in short-order.

Very happy with my Vitamix 5300 that I bought from Costco on sale some years ago. I prefer the wider, squatter blender jar of the 5300 to the taller, narrower 5200. It has yet to complain about anything its been asked to blend.
