While i cant be assured its always that issue (i dont have a multiple unit experience) there isnt a ton of play in the unit and once the auger is turning, what is the key really doing?
I have seen videos of https://www.reddit.com/r/pourover/comments/11s0l2b/fellow_ode_engine_noise_solution/
That audio sounds ofd, even in the off mode the background audio seems loud, but maybe the shims really helped…
Maybe people are confusing the initial pid rpm vs the key rattle?
I have a fellow ode gen 1 and it works great for me. I know they did a lot of updates on the gen 2 and seems to be a pretty popular grinder for pour over and the moccamaster.
Edit: here is a link to the gen 2, but you can find gen ones for much cheaper.

I have a gen 1 ode that I threw gen 2 burrs into and later the timemore 064 turbo filter burrs and those have been fun but honestly not a ton different in taste. I may grab some SSP burrs in the future. That’s the beauty of 64mm you can play around with all kinds of burrs
Df64 gen 2 or ode 1/2 with the right burrs can be a very capable choice…same can be said for an 064 or any other decent 64 platform. For hand grinders it has to be zp6 or pietro I would imagine. Pietro would be out of the budget range but either could be found used also.
I've had my Ode gen 1 for a few years now and just swapped in the gen 2 burrs recently. I use it almost every day for v60 pour overs and probably won't buy another grinder until this one gives up. It's built really well and I haven't had any issues with it. I got it used so I know it's at least 3 years old. My only complaints are I was getting fines with light roasts (fixed with the gen 2 burrs) and that it makes a bit of a mess, but I think that has been improved on gen 2 with the anti static feature and the redesigned cup.
yes, those 2 and you're pretty much set for life (barring the occasional gas when you see new gear). anything extra is subject to severe diminishing returns. I personally own the fellow ode mk1.1 and have not found any decent excuse to upgrade cos even that hardly sees any use other than when i do the occasional public popup. for more intimate sessions i feel the flavor of the handground is superior, and i'm too lazy to carry an FM grinder/ calibrated mahlkonig omnia.

Great value for espresso, but clogs and poor for pour-over.
