I bought a Shardor grinder like this for my in laws a few years ago.

I still use this Cuisinart that was sold in Costco years ago.

My in laws like the Shardor more. They think it's less messy than the Cuisinart because the Shardor grinds go into the chamber from above instead of the side like the Cuisinart.
You can also buy a hand grinder. I still quite like my Hario slim hand grinder and I take it on trips.

Bigger isn't always better. A large hand grinder is awkward to hold. I have a Hario skerton but it's kinda exhausting to grip. But I don't know how cheap with hand grinders you can go before the quality isn't good enough. |
I strongly recommend spending a bit extra on a coffee grinder and not cheaping out on these inexpensive electric ones. These types of false burr grinders are inferior to those with conical or flat burrs:
