So, about how loud the Shark WZ250RD Pet Pro Cordless Stick Vacuum is... well, from what we've gathered, it's kind of in the middle.
It's not the quietest option out there, but it's also not one of those vacuums that's going to send your pets running. Most folks think it's pretty manageable, especially if you're just doing some light cleaning in the regular mode.
It can get a bit louder if you switch to turbo or max power, which is kind of expected with any vacuum. But for everyday use, it seems to blend pretty well into your home's usual sounds.
The manufacturer doesn't give an exact decibel count, so if you're trying to compare numbers, you might find it a bit tricky. But overall, the general feeling is that it strikes a decent balance between cleaning power and noise.
So, if you're planning to take on pet hair and the general mess, it shouldn't be too annoying noise-wise. Just remember, like any vacuum, it's not going to be silent, but it's not deafening either.
Probably best to avoid using it during a movie or when the kiddos are asleep. If you end up getting it, maybe try out all the settings to see how it fits with your home's noise tolerance.
And if it's a little too loud, you can always throw on your favorite music or TV show while you clean—it might help make the sound more bearable.
