Wow, I never knew Shardor type flat burr grinders are available in India. Go for Cipher Rift. I have a g5, there is no static. Retention barely there. No complains about the taste or quality. I would still suggest you go for Rift for flat burrs
I love my HiBREW G5 48mm Conical Burr single dose grinder. I have had it for \~1,5 year and its perfect, can grind fine enough to block my Rancillio and my Quick Mill.
I enjoy my Hibrew G5, it is a stepless, single dosing, Turkish capable, 48mm conical.
I have seen it lately @ $130ish (USD) on eBay lately. That's a touch more than I paid on AliExpress.
I've used it every day for a year so far and am happy with it
I use a Hibrew g5, good with my dark roast espresso habit, can't speak to the lighter roast comparability. Got mine off AliExpress for $113 , but always closer to 200 on Amazon and elsewhere. eBay has had the for around $130 for a while....

Some recommend the Shardor brand of grinders on Amazon. You should be able to search here for more info on them.
Ive been using a no-name grinder (\~140€) for about a year now. I got it from German retailer Otto but it's also available on AliExpress. It's a single dosing grinder, retention is <0.1g, I use it for medium dark roasts mainly but on setting 2-4 it also works great with lighter roasts where the beans have a higher density.
I mainly chose it because of the small counter space but it's honestly a great device and I'm absolutely happy with it. If I'm missing out on something then I'm not even aware :D

Are you asking about the Turin df54 or the sk40 conical?
I use a conical similar to the sk40 but 48mm, Hibrew G5.
It is single dosing, Turkish capable grinder... $200USD on Amazon, but the official factory store on eBay has it for $130.
Would 10/10 buy it again, but I'm a Luddite that drinks dark roasted coffee... YMMV
I use a Hibrew g5, it is single dosing, stepless adjustment, Turkish/espresso capable grinder.
It is $189 via Amazon, but the official factory store on eBay sells it for $130.
It was a huge step up from my Lido3 hand grinder.....
I also see some praise for one of the Shardor grinders from Amazon.
This was on the list of options I had as well. I had to take the Hibrew G5. Though may special handling pa to put a washer (already included) underneathe the burr to grind enough for espresso.
Daming bad reviews netong Delonghi with not being consistent for espresso.
I own a G5 kasi plan ko is budget talaga. Dont buy it at that price ranges, it drops as low as 5.7k ata during sale. I bought it at 6.3k and its not a promo week, I just used my Lazada coins and some not-so-high discount coupons.
Goods naman siya for me so far, I find it struggling at extra extra fine espresso, bumabara sya and it becomes slow to grind, some say for lighter roasts its harder too. Nahirapan ako idial ang single shot espressos kasi inaadjust ko siya to be finer.
No problem so far making double shots, I use medium to medium dark to dark beans. For fresh beans, 10-12 setting ko. For commercial/grocery/shelf beans, need finer somewhere at 6-8. Nagsstruggle na siya mag grind at below 5, medyo mabagal at may retention na. Nevertheless, easy to clean naman, unscrew lang ng head and yun na, you can dust and wipe it away.
P.S. May washer kang need install separately (included in the package) under the burr so it could grind fine enough for espresso.

Great value for espresso, but clogs and poor for pour-over.
