Let’s say they get the cost (after all it’s just one moving part) and sound sorted out, how often do they need maintenance?  
From what I saw modern micros have air bearings and with proper fuel and good air filtering there shouldn’t be much wear to blades or body. What exactly do they need maintained? Not being facetious, I genuinely have no idea.
