Blenders are an essential appliance in every kitchen, be it your home or a restaurant. Almost everyone is familiar with the distinct sound of a blender which some consider loud. You can notice the noise of a blender when you use it during quiet hours such as early in the morning. However, what if we told you that there is a solution for the noise in the form of a soundproof blender? These blenders have a significantly lower noise level making them ideal for homes and kitchens where disturbance can be an issue. This article compares regular blenders to soundproof blenders to figure out if the soundproof varieties are a better option.
There are various factors that make blenders noisy. Here are some key factors that produce noise during blender operation:
Blender’s are powerful machines with motors exceeding 1000 watts power rating. The high strength motors in blenders also spin at high RPMs, which creates vibrations and a loud noise. While the motor of a blender is its most essential component it also produces the most noise.
Blenders get significantly louder when their blades are blending ingredients. When blending tougher ingredients such as rice and sugar the sound gets amplified even further.
When a blender operates, it transfers some of the vibrations to the surface it is placed on. Depending upon the thickness and material of the surface the sound from the blender can be significant. Usually, thicker surfaces such as marble countertops absorb the vibrations and reduce the noise of a blender.
A soundproof blender is purpose built to offer the same level of blending power as a regular blender minus the loud noise. These specialized blenders achieve such low noise levels thanks to various design adaptations with the sole purpose of making them quieter. Here is how low noise blenders work:
As mentioned earlier the contact between ingredients and blender blades is a major source of noise in blender operation. Therefore low noise blenders use specialized enclosures that are thicker and enclose the noise effectively. These enclosures cover the jar of the blender inside an additional layer and prevent the noise from escaping into the enviroment.
Another way soundproof blenders soak up vibrations and noise in the process is through motor insulations. By adding insulating materials such as foam around the motor GEMAT and other manufacturers are able to make blenders that produce significantly less noise. Similarly the motors used in silent blenders are designed to be quieter without compromising on power.
As mentioned in the previous section the interaction of a blender with the surface it is placed on is a major source of noise. To minimize the transfer of vibrations from blender to the countertop sound proof blenders come with specialized stabilising elements. With a padded base and rubberized feet low noise blender manufacturers are able to manufacture quieter food blenders.
Something as simple as altering the design and angle of blender blades can reduce the operational noise. Silent blenders have altered blades that chop smoothly and produce less turbulence when blending ingredients.

It is obvious that soundproof blenders are quieter than regular ones. But how much of a difference in noise levels can you expect from both options? Since it is not possible for an everyday user to test both of the blenders for similar applications in the same environment the only way to compare both options is by looking at their noise output range. Manufacturers and product testers have established a decibel range for both types of blenders. Here is a detailed comparison of noise levels for both:
A standard blender that lacks noise reduction features can have varying levels of noise output. For example when you are blending softer ingredients when making smoothies the noise output would be around 80 dB. However when blending tougher ingredients the noise level of a regular blender can exceed 85 dB. If a blender is near the end of it’s useful life the excess rattle from loose components can increase its sound output beyond the 85 dB level.
Soundproof blenders are tested and proven to have lower noise range compared to regular blenders. Most high quality low noise blenders are tested to have a nose level of around 70 dB. 70 dB noise range is considered a relatively queiter sound compared to 85 dB noise of regular blenders which is considered a loud sound.
Based on the noise level range both types of blenders have a significant difference when it comes to noise levels. To give you a frame of reference about what sound levels are considered loud here is a sound range you can refer to:
60 dB: A quiet room
70 dB: Running shower
80 dB: Garbage disposal
90 dB: Running lawnmower
100 dB: Running power tools
As apparent from the above explained sound range the 70 dB sound level is considered comfortable and safe for people of all ages. Since sound proof blenders operate around the 70 dB range they can keep your indoor enviroment free from noise polution.
By keeping the nose levels low sound proof blenders do more than just offer more comfortable operation. They are built to much higher standards and offer an overall improved user experience which goes beyond just reducing noise levels. The materials used in soundproof blenders as well as the motors are designed to last a long time so you can get years of use from these blenders. So buying a quieter blender not only improves your quality of life but they have a sturdier design as well.
Conclusion
There is no other kitchen appliance that is as notorious as blenders when it comes to being noisy. However Gemat China has a range of high quality soundproof blenders that solve the noise problem for both domestic and commercial kitchens. These blenders are quieter and comfortable to use compared to regular one’s and they are worth it investment.
