I have 3 and never had an issue but I've read lots of people have problems with them being noisy. Are you using the AI app?

I bought 2 Nero 3s in January 2021. One of the two stopped working in October - flashing red light of death. After going through all the recommendations from AI, they replaced the motor board and it seemed to fix the problem (still under warranty). In February 2022, (just over 1 year from purchase), the second Nero 3 failed. Appears to be the same issue, and then to top it off, the one that had been repaired also failed in April. So, in approx. 15 months both are no longer useable (and out of warranty). I may reach out to AI and see what they will do, but I wouldn't buy or recommend the Nero 3s to anyone - can't speak to the Nero 5.

I had two for less than a year. Loved them. But One got a snail in it and broke it. The other one just stopped working...sounded like it seized. I couldn't get it working again so trashed it and went to the mp 10.
