It's noisy. Louder than an electric drill but quieter than a table saw.
There's one in the kitchen and I hate that thing. We've never used it
but my wife associates it with her mom and dad. Maybe I should have it
framed and hung on the wall.

It's well constructed, weighs about 10lbs, and rated at 1380W. It should
be able to handle most anything you throw at it. The controls are easy
to understand for neanderthals like me - an on/off switch, a speed dial,
and a toggle to alternate between max power and the speed dial power. No
push buttons - I like that. The blender container is of heavy
construction and it sits between some rubberized supports. You don't
have to lock the container to the base like most blenders - I like that.

To sum up: it's noisy and well-built. Good luck!
