Purchased 2018 (had previous one for many years -decided to get another one); within the first 4 months it became louder and louder, repairman said Miele is aware of the problem and we just have to live with it. 2021 approximately 3 years old - won't turn on - get a constant red blinking light - not throwing anymore money at this piece of junk! User's recommendation: Don't waste your money on this "upscale" pile of junk!
