But of course this all depends on what you plan to do with it. If dado cuts are common for you, don't get this or change your workflow (I instead either do multiple passes or use my router). but if you're doing minor home DIY projects like trim, decking, etc., there is no reason to pass on this.
The only thing i'd question here is the fact that it is amazon. Call me tin foil hat, I just don't trust them anymore. Refurb'd products instead of brand new, repacked returns that were faulty to begin with, knock offs, etc. Plus, i'm not sure if this applies but i don't think amazon is an authorized reseller which means Dewalt can refused to honor their manufacturer warranty (i'd look into this, i may not be right but it's something i'd be curious about).

10" blades are a lot more common and like mentioned can handle dado stacks. However, i've had little issue finding good 8.25" blades at either HD or Lowes. As for the stand, I don't like the cheap metal ones that come with the saws. I prefer to build a small workbench and add a table saw stand to the end and use the workbench as an outfeed table.

Regarding dado stacks on this saw, if the arbor is similar to the old DW745 this is based off of (Dewalt's previous cheapest table saw) - a full stack might not fit but a pair of box joint blades probably will, enabling the user to cut 3/8 or 1/4 dados, which is a little more efficient than trying to do 5 passes with a thin kerf blade for similar effect.
The rack & pinion fence on Dewalt's portable table saws make them just about the best portable TS's on the market. The next step up is into contractor/hybrid saw territory and a lot of folks just don't have the space available for them.

Dado on the other hand, is the most important (and common) joint in woodwork, unless screws are your favorite go-to joinery. Routers work, but they do not do repeated cuts well. Each new cut takes a long time for setup.

I've had this 2 years. I've built cabinets, boxes, bins, shelves, etc. using my table saw. Never once have I wished I could do a dado on my table saw. Again, IF YOU HAVE THIS NEED then consider getting a different saw. IF YOU DON'T then it isn't a concern.
The few times I created a dado or a rabbet joint I used either my router or multi passes on the table saw. It would have taken longer to get the dado installed than it did running it through multiple passes. But for those less dense, if you have a need to do dados in repetition and need repeatability, then get one that accepts dados. This isn't hard.
