It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Please see my review of the Ninebot GL30P, here on c/micromobility, which I purchased after receiving advice from this community.
After 8 months of use, I can say that it has no issue with gentle slopes, although you may have to be in "drive" mode (the middle power mode), since "eco" (the lower power mode) is power and speed limited. I personally don't use "sport" mode, since the thing will take off very quickly, and that's too much of a handful for me.
Walking it off a typical curb, it doesn't bottom out. But with no suspension (by default; I'm informed this is a not-uncommon upgrade that can be made), the drop is very jarring, so I don't personally ride the scooter off a curb. But up or down a driveway cutout, it's very smooth and I do that regularly.
