Biggest one is that it is probably too short for most people. I'm a short guy (5'5"-ish) and it's just at the height limit of use for me as far as hunching my back over comfortably for long cooking sessions. If you are willing to build a platform for it or have a table to put it on, it will go a long way for your back.
This only has 2 burners and there are hotspots over the burners, so you do need to spend some time understanding how to create zones and move things around to cook evenly. Hotspots probably aren't a unique criticism to this unit, but there are probably better units with a larger area of consistent heat zones as opposed to the 2 distinct zones over the burners.
My unit was missing a couple screws for the handle. Customer support was not helpful, basically saying "we're backordered on the parts so you really should just find screws at the hardware store." Note that this was during pandemic shortage times, so maybe the parts situation is different now.
Overall, it's worth it at this price if you don't need the absolute biggest cook area available, and especially if you prefer having a smaller unit due to backyard space constraints. The two grease holes/cups on each side are very handy. I bought Cuisinart's custom canvas cover for it, and I detach the side shelf to place on top the griddle to create separation between the cover and oiled cook surface during storage, and it keeps it pretty clean in between cooks.
I see some of the Blackstone sales here recently and sometimes think about "upgrading," but I really can't justify buying something new given that the Cuisinart doesn't pose any serious issues for me and my cooks.
Yes. I bought this for 3 family members a couple years ago when bbq.com had them on sale for like 60 bucks. If you don't have a griddle and don't wanna spend the extra 100 bucks for a BS... It's a good deal.
