    Yes - for my son:

    The Golden Coin Maker.

    Any parent who has bought this for their child will know what I mean!

    I received some vaccum storage bags today that I bought off ebay and they're shite.
    My own fault for going for the cheaper option.

    A few things that I wouldn't say are rubbish so much as clutter around the kitchen.

    I.e. coffee makers, grinders, deep fat pans, blenders, toasters, toastie makers, etc. I buy these things and put them out, only to tidy them away again because I hate clutter and they end up stuck in their boxes for eternity. :o:D

    Any cheap, generic Chinese manufactured item. See also: unfeasibly cheap supermarket branded electronic goods.

    Cheap coffee maker that doesn't even keep it lukewarm.

    A hand-held liquidizer that worked 3 times and took the surface off a non-stick pan.

    Clock radio that buzzed so loudly when switched on I couldn't get off to sleep to start with

    A mini-oven (had Russell Hobbs name on, but obviously Chinese designed) which cooked your hand better than the food.

    You get what you pay for, and I've learnt my lesson. Pay the extra for something that is properly designed and made.

    Oh yeah and what about the lifetime guarantee pans, frying pans etc that everything ends up stuck to and you need a brillo pad to scrub it for about half an hour?
