AIRFLOW |
1354 -- Manufacturer claims approximately 1250 CFM @ 2.5" |
1349 @ 2.3" SP with Filter - 1422 CFM @ 2.3" SP without Filter |
Accurate test with and without filter, OAS test data matched AWW independent test results 100%. AWW test results for Oneida was 1400 CFM @ 2" SP |

SOUND LEVEL |
75-76 dBA - (Manufacturer Claimed) |
78-79 dBA @ 10' - Distance from sound source greatly affects decibel rating. |
Oneida tested the Competitor at 84 dBA @ 10'. Decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale to the human ear an increase of 10 dBA is twice as loud. The Competitor is nearly twice as loud as advertised. Oneida's impeller is designed for low noise and low pitch. Learn More About Decibel Ratings. |
