Hi, I’m a newly qualified nail tech and would love any recommendations on lower priced electric files as I will not be doing so much acrylic but would like one for when I do. Any advice appreciated!

This is exactly what I came here to find out!
Why do you need an e-file? Spend the money on extra training to perfect your application, this will reduce the amount of finish filing. This in turn saves money, product and time.

Today I decided to order a Belle 220V nail drill after reading positive reviews about it. I was willing to spend more than it’s very reasonable cost but do not expect to be using it so much so thought I would give this a go while I find my feet. I’m not expecting to use it for finishing but more for acrylic removal and infill.

I love my efile and couldn’t be without it now.
I also use mine for removal however after buying a budget and expensive efile the difference is like night and day.
Hopefully someone else may be able to recommend a specific one

Russian Manicure techniques. I’ve worked for a long time using normal hand filing, pushing and cutting and now I’ve seen another way of doing it, that looks better and ensures thorough prep for gel. [emoji5]️
That's great, but the OP says for acrylic, I read that to mean final finishing/rebalancing not prep.
My statement still stands even if it's for removal and infilling - better initial application will reduce time/energy/money/products spent doing both.
