What reviewers didn't like
Uneven cooking.
The only downside is the smaller cooking area than some models in this price point.

Learning curve on temperature interface. Some design quirks.
The hopper is a little small which can be frustrating. WiFi function can be spotty.
Small cooking area (219 sq. in.).
Due to the size, pellets in the auger might self-ignite. 8-pound hopper capacity. It tends to go slightly hotter on the left side.
It is not big enough for large family gatherings or parties.
Grease buildup easily. Noisy auger.
Wi-Fi technology can be finicky. Temperature control is difficult to manage when smoking meats for long periods of time. Some misleading advertising on secondary parts.
