Yeah, I have a Silca ultimate electric pump (the one with the screen), it’s great when I need it. I only check it for charge once a month at best and rarely needs charging. Sometimes I use it at home just to ensure it still works! I do however prefer my track pump otherwise. Especially if I’m headed out in the early morning – don’t want to wake the whole house up with the noise of the electric pump.

I’ll be an outlier and suggest the Topeak Roadie TT Twin Tube. Ergonomically, being able to brace the head of the pump makes it easier to actuate. Whatever they’re doing with the two stage chambers does help me get road tires to my desired pressure.
The easiest portable pump I have is the Lezyne Road Drive in size L. It’s about as close to a frame pump you can get these days.
Never had too much trouble with Lezyne pumps, but they require threaded valves… and that the valves are tight enough that they stay with the tube and not come with the pump when detaching it. I got a few for free, not sure I’d buy them though, it’s not the best attachement and it takes a while to reach a decent pressure on a road bike.
If weight and size is not too much of a concern, I have a 25 years old Topeak Roadmorph that works great still. They have a flexible hose that pivots freely but what sets them apart is a little fold out foot pad that you can put your foot on, making it almost a floor pump. So you can pump away harder than with any mini-pump and the whole thing is steady, no risk ripping valve stems so you usually get back rolling faster.
