there really is not much to a table saw. i would pay more attention to the actual physical top of the table saw and make sure it can not warp or like, and then any sort of slide out mini supports. and then also the "rip fence" make sure it will not easily break if you accidentally drop it, and that you can adjust the tension on it.

went more like with above table saw from master force, with fold up wheels... i wish i went with a different wheel set. dragging the table saw up and down stars when folded up :/ the wheels do not stick out far enough. and end up catching in a few spots. i also have a couple little over steps getting into some doors at shed and house. that get caught up.
overall though. quick and fast to setup, and easy to stabilize it. and it packs away nice in the shed being able to stand it up on its side via the fold up legs/wheels on it.
some folks want dust collectors, and you might want to pay extra attention to that, if that is your goal for placing unit in a shop. some of the units i looked at a few years back. just had ugly collectors on them.
90% of time i do not have the guard on the table saw blade. due to ripping stuff to small, or just the right size to get hung up in the guard. some of the setups the guard is just down right pain in rear to use, if ya lift it up and out by accident, you may have to spend a few minutes putting it back in. or how you adjust the guard is just plain one of those what in the world were they thinking?

it would of been nice to have a 12 inch blade. but costs, motor size / amps, ya start getting limited.
datto blades, if ya into making furniture and like, and want different joints. double check how wide you can insert a datto blade set..
=============
i tend to always end up needing a pusher stick. to push things rest of the way through table saw. i could care less about "storage" of the table saw and some plastic pusher stick that looks all nice on the table saw in storage, but rather, some sort of U shape half pipe or like i could toss a stick into, for easy grabbing. i have a large light weight tool box i toss most stuff into, for table saw, when put into storage.
