New LR noise level as compared to the old LR?

Postby Biter » Wed May 16, 2007 12:41 pm

I only read passing comments on the noise level of the new LR. I bought one of the last of the old LR and it works perfectly. My only wish was for it to be less noisy. I'd consider to sell my current one and buy a new one were the noise level significantly reduced.


Can anyone help me on this?

Yes, the LR2 is not only quieter than the old LR1, but the motor has a less unpleasant sound. The old LR motor sounded like a cordless drill driving a screw into a sheet of plywood for two minutes. The LR2 motor has a higher-pitched sound, much like a hair dryer and it doesn't boom around the house as much. The motor also sits in a compartment in the base instead of hanging off the side so that helps to contain some of the noise it makes. It also protects the motor if you need to clean the base.

It's hardly silent but it's a major improvement over the old LR motor.

By the way, we received a coupon in our email for 15% off on the newer version of LRII. Not sure if you have and that's one of the reasons you want to buy the new version, but if not, I suggest contacting LRII for the code since you had purchased the first version.

I've upgraded (may post separately) and can confirm that the LR2 is much quieter than the original. I am really happy with the LR2 for several reasons...
