I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

The Slap Chop was a huge disappointment after the slam dunk that the Sham Wow ended up being. It was the same pain as buying the rushed and terrible Megaman Battle Network 4 after playing and loving the classic masterpiece that came before it.

I bought an Instant Pot back in 2017. I've never used it.

There are three things, off the top of my head, that I can recall buying but either not using very much or not for it's intended purpose. The first item is a portable bluetooth keyboard, I got it for the purpose of playing games on my android devices with it but the problem is that I haven't found many games that actually even have keyboard support. The second item is a portable bluetooth mouse, it's the same as the keyboard but with the additional issue of not working with my tablet for some reason. The third item is a DS flashcart, I forgot what it's called but it's the one from Datel and I had so many problems with it that I've been using it's "Gigapack" for transferring small files between my two computers.

I bought a new netbook last year to watch stuff on as my old one from like 10 years ago finally fell apart.

I fucking hate the new Windows so much and I'm not techy enough to change the operating system to something better, so I barely use it as watching stuff on my phone is easier.
