An early Samsung phone my spouse bullied me into taking over from him. I don't know how anyone likes those. I went to Google phones and they're the only good thing about Google.

A Sony mobile phone that couldn't remember the time when it was switched off.

True it's going back a while. But not so far that battery backed clock chips were uncommon.

Manual lawnmower.

The surface RT and windows ME e-machine computer were both a close second.

A Dell Inspiron laptop.

It just kept dying. Typing a Word document one moment, black screen the next. I bought this thing in August because I was going back to school and I needed a new laptop. By December I finally convinced them to replace the machine outright. I got a different model that lacked a lot of the features I had ordered.

I'm no longer a Dell customer.

My Seat Leon car. VW really shat the bed with their latest gen cars.

The WD TV Media Player was pure garbage.

Also hated the Macbook Pro with the Butterfly Keyboard.

And probably a lot of smaller tech that I forgot about.

Handheld sewing machine. Not sure if all are like this or just the cheapo one i bought, it can't sew anything thick else it will get stuck often and can't make the loop. End up shelving it and never use it since then.

I back a running trainer on Kickstarter called Vi. When I got it is was insanely uncomfortable, drained my phone battery on an hour via the companion app and did not work for runs longer than 10 minutes. It was absolutely dog shit.

FM radio receivers for the car.

Never could find a radio station that would work. When you did, it only worked for about 1/4 mile down the road and then had to find another station.

Amazon Fire Tablet 7in. I bought it literally just to read PDFs, and it was so slow that it was basically unusable. I tried switching out the launcher to something more minimal (Niagara launcher I think), and I figured out how to disable the ads that were all over the place. It helped a bit, but not enough to overcome the hardware and Fire OS. (I think I needed ADB for both of those fixes; I had to put in some real work to unfuck that tablet.) Plus the screen was too small for my pathetic human eyeballs.

Was it worth $30? At the time, yeah, because I literally couldn't afford anything else, but I now have an $80 10in generic Android tablet that's wildly faster.

The Cybiko. Got it for Christmas and my father threw out the box before I could get the rebate for the mp3 player attachment. Didn't know any other kid with one, so the wireless communication was useless. The games all sucked anyway. Gaming on rubber buttons was always a terrible idea

Rechargeable beard trimmer. They last six months , then the charge is less than 5 minutes.

Anything that accesses Expedia.com

portable swamp cooler. it leaked and makes your carpet a swamp and maybe cooler. also luggable.

roller-type kitchen knife sharpener. the finer edge sharpener actually dulls the knife more.

tile tracker. it was so big, I didn't lose it. I also hate the concept because it works like insurance does.

LG Optimus 2x, the first dual core smartphone.

What a piece of shit, never bought LG again. It kept randomly crashing and rebooting, along with a host of other problems.
