OK big guy. You laughed at my complaining of the noise my Emperor was making. Look at the reviews posted by others. HA! I am not nuts after all.

"Have owned a emperor 400 for 5 years. Very pleased with my first purchase. Six months ago I purchased a second 400. The new product no longer has a flow adjustment. Nice feature for feeding time etc. Quality of the new style filter is not as good. Filtration is very good. The filter is very loud. I tried to reassemble several times to no avail. Great for the hard of hearing or those that do not care."

"The filter works great, but the fun starts as soon as you pull the filter out of the box. Carbon was everywhere. The carbon filter has holes big enough to allow the carbonpieces through, so a very thorough rinsing is required before using. First time I plugged it in, it sounded like a semi was coming down the road. Took it apart and cleaned out the impeller. Now it is only a dull roar. Thankfully my hood muffles the sound a little. This is great for what it does, but quality is lacking."
Ahaaaaaaaaa..........I now feel vindicated!
