As a former chef and a smashburger connoisseur, I will say the shape of the press is more of an asset than the weight/brand.
I was gifted this one several years ago and it's the only press I use. Has a lot of weight, and the circular shape helps press your burger balls into nice thin patties.
Dows anyone know if what they call "heat-resistant" rubber is actually silicone? I'd like to be able to put this in the oven for preheating or re-seasoning.

A press is a press, It's just a weight. Better to have the extra weight than not.

Is this a good press or get a generic one from Amazon I see this is 4 lbs vs 2.1 lbs for generic ones
So I own this one, it's extremely well-built, but I definitely bought it for the wrong reason. I thought I could use it for smashburgers, but it's honestly way too large and the ridges make it really ineffective for that use. This is NOT a fault of the tool, it's one nice piece of equipment, but it's really for searing steaks, making paninis, maybe even making large quesadillas.
Ended up going with a generic, flat, circular press on Amazon and it's been fantastic.

(Protip: cover your burger with a small sheet of parchment paper to prevent your press from sticking to the meat)
Obviously if you're smashing burgers I wouldn't buy the press posted. Most people are going to use a press for mostly chunks of meat, bacon, sandwich. Smashing burgers I'd use a heavy spatula and the buttend of a random kitchen tool. Or the one you posted would be nice but not really needed imo.

I'm tellin' ya...if you want paper thin patties that get nice and crispy- that's the one you want
Bacon doesn't need a press- if it's curling up it means there's too much heat. Add a ladle of water to the top of your bacon to render the fat. Once it evaporates the melted fat will fry the remaining meat.

I have a round cuisineart but not sure why did I just bought this Blackstone https://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/fp/1093504 for smash burgers, I think I'll return I just ordered it with the omellete/eggs set.
The description here doesn't quite match what's on Amazon; there, it says the press has a "Heat Resistant Rubber Handle," and the photo seems to confirm that there's some sort of (presumably insulating) grip covering the handle.
