as a big time polaroid and Instax photographer, avoid this camera. most frustrating and expensive mistake I've made in a long time. film cost is extremely high but this camera delivers such terrible results consistently

I don't think there's a current, "good", polaroid camera out there. I've tried all of the OneStep+ and PolaroidNow and Polaroid Go cameras and they've all been big letdowns. Part of it is the film, but the big thing is that these cameras just meter and expose so poorly, and at $2.50/shot, it's a pricey process. personally the only polaroid I can recommend is if you have an older SX70 and can use that polaroid SX70 film (or a filter and 600 film). if you're looking to just buy a new camera, my recommendation is Instax. film is much better developed and more stable (and cheap). I'd just avoid the cheap line (mini8, mini9, Mini SE). they come in both analog, digital (so it essentially develops/prints onto actual film) and some "toy camera" models that give a really vintage/retro/film like look (like the lomo instant automat) depending what you're going for. film is much cheaper and results will be much better. unfortunately, polaroid now is not the same as it was.. they're trying to get back there, but focusing more on releasing crappy products than actually putting out decent ones (both camera and film), relying on nostalgia to keep their sales up.
