You have to remember that they're probably balancing the motors on level surfaces and most residential units are anything but level. When you bring them home and run them, they're probably running off axis, which is bad for any motor.
Putting them on a dead level surface will get you the most life out of them, but that's not always feasible.
On more expensive units with a little bit of QC, you will find that there might be small weights attached to the fan blades to balance them. Taking these weights off completely or repositioning them will help rebalance an off axis setup.
For ones that don't have these, you can buy fan blade balancing kits on Amazon for about $5.
Using Super Lube brand synthetic grease on the hub will also eliminate any bearing noise.

The two Woozoo fans I got from Costco a couple months back are the same - the motors are inefficient & produce a lot of vibration & hum, and the oscillating mechanisms have developed scraping & various other distinct noises.
