Useless gadgets

We've must all have done it at some time........ so what is the most useless gadget you've ever bought?

One of mine has to be the battery operated sewing machine I bought in the 70's! I tried it just once and thought it was a load of rubbish!

Re: Useless gadgets

A pair of magnetic sponges for cleaning both sides of a window at once. I couldn't reach our upstairs windows and thought this was a great idea. Only problem was the outside part kept falling so I had to keep running downstairs and go outside to look for it. I did persevere. I used it twice.
