Mumsnet swears at

[Nousernameforme]

Every time I see that swears by thread or email I think that there should be a swears at equivalent.

Products or services that don't live up to the hype or are just plain shit. It could serve as a warning to others or just a platform to rant on .

Just to add it's light hearted.

'Fucking Russell Hobbs toaster, always burning one side and undercooking the other'

That kind of thing?

I have no idea where these “mumsnet swear” because after a couple of shitty buys, I am not even looking at them. I think they are an ad revenue.

Yeah exactly that sort of thing. Bastering Dyson Hoover getting blocked every time it sucks up something bigger than crumb.

Yes like the style and beauty boards it's all about who advertises

Haha OP, I actually come on to have a rant about the fuckin piece of shit cordless dyson.

Biggest waste of money I have ever spent.

Pile of shit. Yet I still always get it out and think, maybe it will alright this time.

Nope, try and hoover more than a speck of dust, and the fuckin filter get bastarding blocked.

See and now someone will see that and not buy one. It's a valuable service.

Another one tower health fryer is a glorified grill that burbs the top chips whilst keeping the bottom ones aneamic no matter how many times you stir or shake the basket fucking waste of money and counter space

It's nothing more than someone getting a freebie for a plug on the website. Do you really think MN care about the product besides them getting something for free.

Maybe the swears at could be companies who don't pay enough?

I always thought swears by was things that mumsnet users recommended. That's why swears at would be an opposite version of it

Fucking Vax steam mop. Takes an eternity to warm up, says it's warmed up then dribbles tepid water out of the cloth (which comes unstuck every 30 seconds) and burns your fingers when you give up on the bastard thing and decide to put it away. It's the biggest fucking arsehole I've ever let into my home (and that's saying something!)

Black and Decker car vaccum. I actually felt sorry for the thing, as it attempted to suck up dirt with all the power of an asthmatic newborn kitten. Stick an extension cable on your main vacuum cleaner, drive car near to house, job done.

I don't remember seeing them stickied at the top of Active before - a new and obvious reminder that it's all just about the money. Especially as it seems far less related to things people are actually talking about.

I swear that nearly all skincare products are overhyped and much the same as the been-around-forever basic ranges.

Sneaky bugger m&s food hall not having prices on half the stuff but being so busy you just took it to the till with fingers crossed

Fucking bastarding Breville sandwich toaster. 'Makes delicious toasted sandwiches with no fuss or mess'. My arse it does. Sodding twatting bread sticks to the plates. EVERY.FUCKING.TIME.
