Product review (1 stars): First one installed by Miele in 2002 followed by motor ...
First one installed by Miele in 2002 followed by motor bearings seizing and total failure after 18 months. Replaced the motor twice after new motors failed after 18 months each. Finally, bought completely new unit thinking the problem would be solved, but same pattern emerged of having to replace motor every year and a half. Bought the last fan motor unit in May 2014, which is now failing after 18 months of normal service (family of three). There's only a one year warranty on parts. Called Miele, they will send out a technician to investigate for $200.00 then I can spend another 650.00 on yet another new fan motor. E-mails to customer service remain unanswered. Do Not Buy.
