Plus, 1 through 3 star reviews on Home Depot site are unkind to this model and bring up some good points. Many slam the fence and table extension as unreliable, cheap and unsafe.

Now for those who complain about alignment. All you need for any name brand table saw is a combination square. You can verify the fence is aligned in 5 seconds or less on any name brand table saw. Just drop the vertical measure of your square into the miter slot, then use the horizontal measure on your square to ensure the fence is aligned on both ends. If there are no gaps on either side and your square is aligned with your miter slot, then your fence will also be aligned. In other words, you're just squaring the fence with the miter slot, and doing so with a combination square.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
EDIT: A portable jobsite saw needs to be reliable and portable without a bunch of home brew extension supports or tinkering. If I'm at a month long project, it wouldn't kill me to tote along table extensions, et al. But sometimes I'm on a site for an hour or two. Don't want to fuss about with extra crap for quick jobs like that. I want to roll in, set up within 10 or 15 minutes, get the job done and scram. Time is money Chester, and I only have a limited amount of either. Fussing about with my tools and adjustments costs me both.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Personally I don't like the stands. I use a table for my table saw. I think they support the saw better and it's better for cleaning up access debris. The thing with table saws and extensions is there isn't an infinite amount of weight they can support on their own. At some point you need to reinforce the work area to support oversized material.
This video [youtube.com]is a decent overview of the pros and cons of this saw. The main minus is the table extension is wobbly and not aligned. So the 27 in capacity is not really usable.
What's the best <$200 table saw? Lowes has this Craftsman [lowes.com] under $200 on sale sometimes. It does not have an table extension and otherwise seems similar.

It's OK if you want to use a speed square every time you adjust the fence. I don't.
