Probably won't read anything different here. It is loud, but only for about 5 minutes at the most. I bought the Deluxe because of the Frap options, makes good Fraps. We had other ice cream makers, but once made even using lot of cream, it was hard like concrete. But with the Creami you can put already made ice cream from the night before back into the Creami and...Its soft and great again. Buy extra mixing containers.
