Product review (4 stars): Quality matches Price
Purchased to replace a unit that quit. Noise level isn't too bad, but louder than my previous smaller one. Don't notice it when at the dinner table where it is close by. More irritating is the way it cycles on and off. My wife doesn't seem to notice it, unless I mention it, and she is only 3 feet away from it. As mentioned by others, you can't trust the temperature it shows. I put a digital thermometer to check the real temp, which is cooler toward the bottom. I would probably purchase again, price is good, but would see what else is new at that point.
