I bought this a few years ago:
OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CSKGLMM
Would not recommend. Within a year the oil from the beans would gum up the works on the grinder and we'd be getting inconsistencies in the grind, less output than expected and eventually nothing coming out.
Ended up buying this:
CUISINART Coffee Grinder, Electric Burr One-Touch Automatic Grinder with18-Position Grind Selector, Stainless Steel, DBM-8P1 https://a.co/d/2iznxaE
Pretty happy with it so far
Edit: I'd also add that they do make electric Burr grinders with scales. If I were to choose again, I'd get one. The advantage there is you set how much you want in grams, ounces, whatever.. it grinds until it hits that amount. It beats what is the common thing.. setting to some arbitrary number, usually "cups", which just sets a timer for the grinder. Over time, a grinder will grind less and less as it needs to be cleaned so you end up with inconsistent amounts over time and you'll be wondering why your Coffee is weaker than it used to be ;)
I've got the Cuisinart too. Love it.
The scale is important if you're filling the hopper with all your beans. If you measure before filling the hopper then you can just let the machine go till it's empty.
