Cozy Cove Heater vs old ceramic heater, is the fan noise comparable?

Mine got louder on high after a few weeks of use, but it settled back down once I cleaned the vent area. Low is still pretty quiet, high has that fan push sound. Sounds normal to me.

Mine has a slight rattle at startup that fades after a minute or two. Doesn’t really bug me since I only run it while I’m in the room anyway.

I used mine on low overnight for about a week and found it quieter than my old ceramic one. On high it’s a different story, but I rarely need that setting unless the room is really cold. It’s a pleasant little heater overall.

Fan noise on high is just part of moving that much air, so I don’t think it’s really a defect or anything. But I’d push back on the idea that it’s comparable to an old ceramic. Those little cube heaters usually have a totally different sound, more of a steady hum, while this one has a more noticeable fan push on high. So if you’re expecting the same low hum as before, that’s probably not going to happen. Mine is only annoying if I’m sitting right next to it, otherwise it blends into the background. Curious what room size you’re using it in since that affects how loud it feels.

That room size explains a lot. In a 10 by 11 bedroom you’re close enough that the fan push on high will stand out, especially compared to that old steady hum. I’d try it on low for a night or two and see if that feels closer to what you were used to. High is probably always going to sound more like a fan than a hum in a room that small.

Mine has a bit more of a fan sound than my old one too, but I only really notice it during the first few minutes before the room warms up. After that it kind of blends in with the fridge humming in the next room. So you’re not imagining it, but I don’t think it’s anything out of the ordinary.

I noticed a difference too when I first switched over, and it took me a couple of weeks before my ears just stopped picking it up. Now I only register it when the house is dead quiet at night. Funny how the brain filters out a fan but not the fridge humming.
