Mine is a cordless Dyson vacuum. Cost loads, has a poor battery, doesn’t pick up well, so overrated. Gets rave reviews - why?? My next one will be a Henry ;-) My other is overpriced, average pub/cafe grub when out as a family. Such a waste of time, money and effort. Sorry, I’m usually more upbeat…

At home laser hair removal device. Incredibly expensive, ineffective and covered such a small area that I just got a Groupon and paid to get it done professionally. Ended up giving the one I had away after two uses in 5 years.

Isnt the 2 uses in 5 years the reason it was ineffective?
