It's largely a matter of features and construction.

Basically, the Zhumell uses a "camera tripod", which uses a "joystick" for aiming the scope. It's very "handy", but... it tends to "shift" the aim, a bit, when you "lock it down". It works ok, but... there are no "granular" adjustments, in any axis, so "tracking" a moving "object" (eg. the stars, etc) can be challenging.

By comparison, the Celestron uses separate declination (eg. up/down) and azumith (left/right) controls, and the declination does have a "granular" adjustment. So, as with the "joystick", it works ok, but, again, "tracking" a moving "object" (eg. the stars, etc) can be challenging.

An "equatorial mount" allows "granular" adjustments in both axises. It's a bit more expensive, and it's quite "precise", but... it's a bit of a "pain" to get it all set up and adjusted.

I've had both; I still have the Zhumell Zenith.

If you are not used to telescopes you will find a refractor easier to use than a reflector.
