The Krups will be better than a blade grinder, but still a bit crappy. It's the tiny burrs and underpowered motor which make the grounds get hot and loose flavour. Plus it''ll probably break sooner or later and be noisy and slow.
But if it's a choice between that and buying pre-ground then definitely buy it.
The Dualit is a better piece of kit, there's a few on ebay at the mo, or the KitchenAid has nice big 65mm burrs and is good for brewed coffee if you can find one in budget.
None of these will be any good for espresso BTW.
