Rated 1 out of 5 Loudest thing in our house
Bought new and took a risk on a brand we had not tried before. The whirring noise has been nearly constant since we installed it last summer. Have become good friends with the Miele tech as he has been out at least a dozen times to try to fix it, including replacing the motor fan. He is coming out again next week to replace it again. Thinking about if it's possible to apply the lemon law to this freezer...

Rated 3 out of 5 Whirrrrrring......
We bought this freezer with the corresponding fridge for a kitchen remodel. We have other Miele appliances and love them, so thought we'd take the plunge and spend the extra $ on this. The freezer has a fast freeze option which was attractive to us as we do freeze fruit and baked goods etc. on a regular basis and thought we'd use this. My husband requested the in-door drinks dispenser. We noticed soon after using the water dispenser a loud whirring noise which stopped when we opened the fridge. We called Miele and they sent someone out - it was the small fan which blows cold air over the water dispenser to ensure cold water is dispensed. They came back and replaced the fan, but then the unit didn't work at all. One more visit to reset the unit, and, while it was initially quieter, it now is back to whirring as loud as it was initially. We have an open-plan kitchen and sometimes we can't hear the TV over the sound. We bought the extended warranty and will be calling them again. We're disappointed as we looked at so many freezers, but none were plumbed in, so there was no way to hear the freezer working.

Finally a solid competitor for SubZero! I am thrilled with my Miele Fridge and Freezer. I have had it for a while and am particularly amazed at the ligting and features.

Sold without proper and correct instructions. Installers uninformed. Damages and mistakes occurred on installation. Since new, have had subcontract technician for repeated visits. Miele have not resolved issues. Now 2 months and still ongoing.
Freezer door flap opens and closes every 2 hours making a fairly loud clunking noise. The fan in the mastercool fridge has a moderately loud burring noise consistently.
