Après plusieurs essais de renseignements techniques par mail, aucune réponse de cette société. A croire qu'il n'y a aucun ingénieur compétant dans cette entreprise pourtant de grande renommée! Tout faire, mais rien de bien.

METABO, es WAR einmal...... ( Made in CHINA)
Als langjähriger durchaus zufriedener Nutzer von Heimwerker Geräten der Firma METABO, wurde ich jüngst schwer enttäuscht, vom Gerät und insbesondere vom sog. " KUNDENDIENST.
Ein hochwertiger 18 Volt Accu Bohr und Schlagschrauber ging nicht lange nach der Garantiezeit entzwei. Rauch und Feuer aus dem Motorengehäuse....
Das Gerät wurde wirklich nur wenig genutzt und der Accu weist keinerlei Verschleisserscheinungen auf. ( wie Neu, das Teil )
Am Schrauber selber sind kaum Verschleisserscheinungen zu erkennen.
Ein Telefongespräch mit dem " Service Center" erwies sich als zwecklos, eine schriftliche Beschwerde mit ausfürlichen Photos an die Geschäftsleitung blieb UNBEANTWORTET.
unter dem Gerät, Accufach, kommt dann, was zu vermuten war : Made in CHINA
Ich bin tief enttäuscht von METABO und werde mich künftig Herstellern zuwenden, welche nachweislich NICHT in China produzieren .

METABO today has nothing to do with good old times METABO
METABO CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Some time ago I bought a Planer Thicknesser HC 260 C from METABO. After few weeks of very moderate usage the machine was broken. I suppose because of very cheap components inside of it. So, afterwards, I was hoping that such a known manufacturer can provide a fair customer support:
- March 20, 2020: first contact by mail to inform about the problem. Only in about 3 months after long phone conversations they were able to take the machine away.
- July 17, 2020: soon almost half a year, there is STILL NO SOLUTION from the side of METABO customer service.
In general, I can characterize my experience with customer support as follows:
- Very hard to get in touch with the customer support. Lots of clicks on phone and long time to wait afterwards to finally get someone to answer. The best way is to call to the commercial department – strangely enough, they are always available :)
- Lots of polite lies, saying that they will handle the problem as soon as possible, even providing false dates of possible solution. While after weeks of waiting nothing really changed in the status of the problem.
- No any kind of proposition to really solve the problem. As a client I already lost few vacancies helplessly hoping to use their machine, because of lies of their customer support.
METABO QUALITY (NOWADAYS)
To resume, nowadays METABO is nothing to do with METABO that was years ago. I was surprised by the bad quality of the machine:
- The main frame is not solid enough.
- Guide rails and supports have a big clearance which impacts the tolerance and geometry of final parts.
- Most of elements looks and acts as quite cheap one.
- In order to make it work as it should you need to spend lots of time modifying the machine.
I use various tools from METABO (screw gun, fretsaw…) and the ones recently bought have a very cheap quality, while the price is quite high. It is not possible to find METABO made in Germany, all I have now is made in China. There are plenty of Chinese tools that have the same quality as a nowadays METABO while the price is 2 or even 3 times lower.
After this accident METABO lost me as a loyal customer.
My advice to others – pity, but there is no more reason to use METABO anymore.
