Are there any PM833-TV owners in the Phoenix, AZ area (who would be willing to do some show-and-tell)?

The title pretty much says it all.
I’d like to see this mill in person, and demonstrate it to my wife, who is very worried about how loud it might be.
If anyone out there is within an hour drive of Phoenix, and wouldn’t mind a visit, please let me know.

Well, I don't own one but I can tell you with fair confidence it's not as loud as 3 dogs
Unless your dogs are the kind that can't bark
Is it the sound of the machine itself or the sound of it milling something? I suspect the latter and it does vary
depending on the operation and the material

My wife is very sensitive to sounds. The dogs already drive her crazy.
She is concerned that the sound of the machine will make her miserable.
It will be far away, so I don’t think it’s really an issue, but she needs to sign off on it. Fortunately, I can test with Teflon, since that’s what it will be cutting most of the time. Shouldn’t be too loud.
But, she’s the boss...

Ah I see. Cutting teflon would be pretty quiet
The sound of a household fan would be the only comparable I can think of-

Thanks.
I think I may simulate what I want to do with my current RF-20, and tell her that it won’t sound much different.
But, I would like to see the machine before I buy it...
