This pellet grill is decent. It keeps temp fairly well on cooking mode, but the smoking mode temperatures were too low. Unfortunately I bought this primarily to use as a smoker. The smoke mode has 4 presets, starting with low smoke + high temperature to high smoke + low temperature. Even at the highest temperature smoke mode, the smoker wasn't able to consistently get over 200°F. It held temperatures at around 190-195°. The ideal smoking temperature I'd like would be 225-250°. Maybe the weather affected it, low winds and ~60-65°F ambient temperature. I will edit this review if hotter weather helps. Build construction is solid and pretty heavyweight, although I don't have much experience with other pellet grill/smokers. The unit arrived with some greyish/dusty patches on the electrical box/pellet hopper that might have been mold or something. It mostly wiped off with a damp cloth. Overall, I don't regret getting this, but if I had known that the smoke modes were such low temperature, I'd probably have gotten something else.
