Noise level is an important factor, especially for deployment in offices, hotels, and hospitals:

Typical Noise Levels:

  • Quiet Models: 55-62 dB(A) - comparable to a normal conversation
  • Standard Models: 62-70 dB(A) - comparable to a vacuum cleaner on low setting
  • Industrial Models: 70-78 dB(A) - comparable to a car engine at idle

For Reference:

  • Whispered conversation: ~30 dB(A)
  • Normal conversation: ~60 dB(A)
  • Conventional vacuum cleaner: ~75-85 dB(A)

Recommendations by Deployment Location:

  • Offices and hotels: Choose models under 65 dB(A)
  • Hospitals: Under 60 dB(A), many offer a "Silent Mode"
  • Warehouses/production: Noise level less relevant due to ambient noise

Many manufacturers offer programmable schedules so intensive cleaning can run during off-hours.

Find the noise level for each model on the Botomix product detail pages under technical specifications.
