My apple watch. So much on that watch either doesn't work as it should or I was straight lied to by an apple employee of how it worked. Will never buy one again.

Sony WF-1000XM5s. I feel like I'm going crazy because all the reviews online said they were the best of the best. That they were near perfect.
And yet, the usability sucks. They connect to my phone while they're in the case and closed, the noise cancelling cuts on and off, and sometimes they just refuse to connect until I put them back in the case.
The Sony headphones app also really sucks.
The sound quality is admittedly fantastic, but usability is just so frustrating.

My Seat Leon. I had been warned about VW Group’s new platform but holy hell, even the most dire warnings didn’t tell the truth.
The car crashes every day. Nothing works. Even basic functions, like keyless entry on the door handles. If it rains, nope doesn’t work. How about the speakers switching into centre speaker only? How about a reversing beeper stuck until the car is not just turned off, but left turned off for 10 minutes? How about Apple CarPlay which doesn’t work? The list is endless. It’s so so poor. After one update, the car sensors got confused about being in a left hand driving country, so cruise control wouldn’t overtake cars in the slow lane.
And I can’t afford to switch to another one.

Those potato spaghettifiers. Fuckers break when you try to push potatoes though. Waste of money.

Slip on / low top rain boots.
I thought I would use them for walks in muddy forests, but it's not usually muddy enough when I go to justify wearing them for a full hike, and they're not comfortable to walk in for long distances.
I also thought I would wear them around the fishing ponds, but I enjoy taking my shoes off and wading in anyway. I can just go further than the boots would allow.
Bialetti Venus coffee maker, it's too fragile and needs a full 3 spoons of coffee to make half as much as my mug that I filled to the top with a paper filter while using just 2 spoons.
It changed color on the outside after a week, and you need to disassemble to store it so it takes a ton of space even though it's so small, also needs medium coffee and I can't find a good medium one in my area, my favorite is a fine ground.

My $500 laptop I panic bought after an employee started talking to me
It's incapable of anything and stutters when I start Firefox. I have a freebie laptop I got from Telus 10+ years ago that runs better than this off-the shelf laptop.
I couldn't in good-conscience sell this to make my money back either... sigh... at least it keeps me focused on work..?

I bought a Valve Index two years ago, had fun with it for a couple weeks, then never used it again :-\
I've been on the vr train since 2016, i eveb did dev work for a few vr companies. imo I think there are 2 problems with vr this time around. 1st is movement, joystick style movement makes half the userbase sick to their stomach, teleport feels terrible to the other half, supporting both invariably breaks game balance. There are hardware solutions but they are still in their infancy and are huge and expensive for the most part. The result is an already small userbase fracturing even more.
Second problem is less serious, there are games with fun mechanics, there are games with good, long stories and progression. There are very very few games that have both. This makes all the games feel like demos.
I love the potential of vr games, but there just isn't enough content out there to make it worth.

A jet ski and a GoPro . And 10 years later we still have never used that kitchenaid stand mixer. It looks nice on the counter though.

Most of the stuff I regret buying can be sold as second-hand. My biggest miss is to buy a good laptop for high too early, now I want an OLED display on laptop but I am stuck with my expensive model with LCD😅
PS5 remote. It's kind of useless as it doesn't even have the Source selection button, so I need to keep using a regular remote too anyway. Doesn't have other buttons for TV either, except volume. The apps buttons are hardcoded and cannot be customized. Any accidently pressed button starts up the console. I kind of still use it for video apps but I regret the purchase.
