Wal-Mart is not the seller. Use caution.
Trust me, one of the most important things you can do is get fresh coffee (whole bean, roasted within the last 6 months... pref 3 if possible). Then you need a grinder for it... the nicer the grinder the more consistent your grind size. Think of this like cooking vegetables... if you were to chop potatoes into random size chunks, it is nearly impossible to get them all "cooked" to the same doneness. Normally you don't want this, and the same thing applies to coffee brewing.
Methods like french press are more forgiving, but others... not so much. Underextracted coffee is sour. Overextracted coffee is bitter and astringent. Just like with the potato example, its easier to hit the sweet spot if your grounds are generally the same size rather than large boulders and a ton of fines.
EDIT: Also, 100% agree with DiMAn0684 about this not being a capable espresso grinder. This is probably a step up from using old, stale coffee for drip, pour over, or french press (especially this one) but espresso requires as much evenness as possible and a VERY fine grind setting. You're putting coffee under high pressure, if the grinds aren't fine enough, water is just going to flow through and you're going to get a very sour shot. Water also will flow through the path of least resistance, so an uneven grind (like what you'd get with this) would lead to most water going through a couple of spots (channeling) and barely flowing through the rest.

People who aren't actual coffee snobs will be fine with this. If you're on the insufferable level (like me) this is going to be woefully inadequate.

This is just a bad coding error on walmarts website for translating chinese characters.

Up when it stopped
Whirr when it stood still
I never knew just what it was
And i guess i never will
Not that I would disagree with their result, since for drip coffee it's pretty hard to blind taste the difference when the consistency really don't matter nearly as much as other brew method. But once you get into espresso, the grind consistency and microadjustment you can do with a decent grinder will be day and night. It was probably a good test for people who are wondering if it is worth it to get a 200 dollar grinder without knowing what they are trying to do with it and just going to throw it into a Mr Coffee drip machine or something
I say that "don't waste money on a grinder unless you know what you are trying to do" would be a pretty solid advice overall.
People that spend more on a product always say it's better. Maybe not the best for super snobs but for most folks it's great I'd guess

I got this same Cuisinart grinder back in 2018 and have been perfectly happy with it. I did a lot of research and set my expectations accordingly. It's probably the best grinder you can get for less than $100 that's also reliable. I got mine on sale from Target similar to the current promotion.
It doesn't do espresso grounds, but there are a few articles/videos floating around that show you how to shim the plates for a finer ground—up to you if you want to void your warranty…but it works =).
