90+ dB loud, highly recommend hearing protection.
There's no doubt this small blower is powerful for its size. It moves a lot of air at a high speed.
With that power, comes noise. Specifically when using the "long nozzle" -- the nozzle with the smallest and most focused outlet. I measured around 90 dB (LAmax) with an SPL meter at roughly an arms length away on max power.
This is well within the "danger zone" (85+ dB) for potential hearing damage over a prolonged period. I would highly recommend wearing some hearing protection if you're using the "long nozzle".
The other attachments measured just under 80 dB at roughly an arms length at max power. This is generally within the "safe zone" though I'd still recommend wearing hearing protection if you're going to use it for longer than a few seconds. Hearing loss just ain't worth it.
Aside from that PSA, I'm not going to hold it against the product. I believe it's a limitation with the technology itself. All similarly sized, priced and powered air blowers will generally make the same amount of noise. By in large, most are using the same kinds of motors with differences in packaging. I imagine much higher priced blowers may offer lower noise, but I can't say for certain.
The amount of attachments is great and everything can be stored in an included storage bag. The dual function blower/vacuum is a differentiator among other competitors.
This feels and performs like a high quality product. It will definitely replace canned air for my usage. I'll just have to remember to put in some ear plugs.
