Is the iron and the boiler constantly noisy or only when you're ironing? Never had boiler before--forgive the ignorance...

Hello, frankly I do not find the boiler noisy at all, I am ironing every week....

Awesome iron. Noise, not really from boiler. I hear it when it is heating up and when the water level is low. Not loud enough to bother me.Takes about 10 min minimum to heat up but when it does, you can do a ton of clothes. The steam it creates is very powerful and it makes noise as would be expected. We use distilled water ONLY to avoid oxidation in jets. Saves us 3 trips a month to the cleaners at ~$50.00 each time.Mine paid for itself in under 2 months. Recommend.

No noise what so ever. Iron work great. The best steam iron we have ever had.

It is actually very quiet considering what is going on. When you initially turn it on, you will hear a low, muffled boiling and some clicking. That's when it makes the most noise. After the water is thoroughly heated, it quiets down and stays quiet -- almost silent when not in use. I have it in my home office and work undisturbed.

Yes, it makes a modest noise, similar to boiling water in an ordinary saucepan on an electric range. The noise is not at all objectionable in my opinion. Also, a few seconds after the water comes to a rolling boil there is an audible "click" when the thermostat cuts off the heating element. I use my kettle several times each week to make hot tea. I find it very handy and recommend it without reservation

That "Ping" you hear is the iron shutting off. I know when I got my first one, I was concerned, until I realized that's what it was doing. Say for instance, if you are sewing working on a project, you have your iron on and at the ready. If I hear the "ping" I know that it had sat idle and the auto shut off engaged. I think it also "pings" when you intentionally shut it off. Sounds like a spring sprunging doesn't it?

The noise is when the seperate water reservor's steam making chamber needs to siphon water from the resevoir avove it to create more steam. so it goes on and then off when it has what it needs. how often it siphons depends on how long u use the steam button on the iron. the iron heat operates seperately. it takes about 2-3 minutes to warm up. there is a light indicater that lets u know when it is ready. there is no water that passes through the iron itself, just the steam delivered from the seperate chamber when u push the steam button on the iron so no water spits. that is the beauty of this type of iron. it will last for many, many years (4-5 other normal irons worth) for that reason. the iron itself won't lime up and lessen in steam power. most people don't know how a normal iron works. water drips from their internal "tank" directly onto the solelate fast or slow, depending on how much steam u ask it to deliver when u turn the steam on. The heat of the soleplate evaporates the water and comes out the holes. you get water spits if the sole plate is not hot enough to evaporate the amount of water you asked it to deliver into the sole plate. i.e. if you have the steam wide open but you don't have the iron as hot as it will go and allow it to fully warm up, it will spit. u have adjust the steam dial down accordingly. regular irons will spit when they are limed up and old and has to be 'retired"/replaced.

That happened to me when I first started using the iron. I find that if I turn it to Off for just a few seconds and turn it on again, it works properly and consistently. The longer I use it, the better I like it.

Can you or anyone who has used this iron beyond its initial period tell me if it has begun to "spew", leak or sputter? I have had several Rowenta irons in the past and they invariably sputter and drip eventually and create lots of ironing headaches. How is this one doing after owning it for a longer time? Thanks.

Mine is noisy, but kind of a white noise. If I had it in the bedroom, it would not bother me, but I like that type of noise to be able to cover for other random noises from outside. It is most definitely NOT a quiet unit, though.

Not really .. there is a little noise when it first starts to heat but it gets quieter and quieter as it comes to the boil.. nice Kettle..

Hi, Haven't had ours for long enough to have any problems. However, knowing what little I know about electrical heating elements, if it's making noise that's probably not a good sign. Would take the time to send it in either for repair or replacement. These aren't complicated devices, but the potential for fire is always lurking the background. Don't want to overkill, but wouldn't take any chances... Jay Miller

No, mine is very quiet. The Insinkerator I had was loud when heating the water.

there is no noise - just let it warm up - heat will come up in a nice loe flow

Mine isn't silent, but isn't horrible. Sounds like an issue to bring up with manufacturer. They might replace the unit.

It beeps when you push the buttons and when it's preheated and when it's done. I don't know how you would make the noise lower or frankly why it's such a big deal. It's certainly not a deal breaker for me. I don't mind because it beeps as an alert. You will hear it and isn't that the point? :)

It is only noisy when the pump is running for a few seconds. It heats up quickly and does not leak. The tank hast to be refilled periodically depending on the steaming level set.

The noise is the water heating inside the water internal hot water tank. Not to worry. The manual addresses that issue.

I have never suffered leakage on ironing. The iron only makes a noise when it is reheating the water to produce more steam.

It is kind of noisy, yes. Not incredibly disruptive, but definitely louder than boiling water on the stove.
