Noise level: 108.2 dB

The 1,560-Watt motor is powerful enough to whip chickpeas with olive oil into satisfyingly creamy hummus in under a minute — a task that very few blenders can handle.
the powerful motor comes at a cost, as was one of the loudest blenders we tested, clocking in at 108.2 decibels.
The only place the Blendtec Total Blender Classic falters is with crushing ice, as it's prone to leave some frozen shards and ice chunks in the pitcher's bottom corners mixed in with the otherwise soft, powdery, snow-like ice mixture.
