What Are Some Things You Regret Buying or Bought but Never Used?

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.

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.

Btw, a Zojirusha coffee maker is absolutely worth it, they make excellent coffee, the precise water heat maintenance thing and the pre bloom, steel insulated carafe are a big part. My first one stood up to living in a semi truck sleeper for three years, and 2 years so far in my kitchen. The second I bought for my business.
