We have two of the Levoit Core 300S, and in the last year, we had had both replaced under warranty. Both had their motors fail. They first started making a squealing noise, which got louder and louder. First failed within 30 days, second after six months.

I'm so happy with this purchase, and I doubt I'll ever buy a different brand.

My newly lupricated 400s bearing was silent for 1 month and started wining again after it. Instead of replacing the bearing I might replace the levoit.
