We've all been there. Lured in by an ad, fell for the impulse buy trap, didn't do enough research beforehand... all of these are common reasons we might buy something then regret it afterwards.

For this reward, we want you to show us a tech product you regret buying and tell us why you regret it via a verified social media post!

Suggested tags: #JustCreators, #tech, #technology. Tag our social accounts too (details below)!

It is not at all a bad device, not by far... and even less for its price. I just thought I was going to use it a lot and in the end, in day-to-day life, I hardly use it at all.

deboborah 4/27/2025, 2:22:06 AM

It is no longer a technology item and is now just a decorative item.

I kind of regret after buying this because recently the wifi network around me is having problems and if I use the headphones wireless bluetooth mode it will affect the internet connection that I use.

why can that happen because when I use the wired version it's fine.

This is my regrettable purchase. It may not count because it wasn't useless until 2 years of use, but it certainly broke in a strange way for a phone worth a month's rent. The screen decided to give up on me in the strangest way possible. No drops, no bumps, just a faulty screen that didn't want to work properly anymore. It seems to be a backlight problem, as it is really bright, and also the colors are washed and wrong.

As I can read on this bounty, i'm not the only one regretting buying a portable vacuum. Ahhahaha yeah these thing is really cheap!

🔴 A MINI VACUUM FROM TEMU 🔴

As I am a person who likes to take care of my car, I saw this handheld micro vacuum cleaner and thought it could have been a good purchase, but once purchased

I discovered that the device is extremely fragile, noisy, and lacks the power to absorb all the things found on the floor of the car.

It is not recommended for anyone and a total waste of money.

Let’s Participate it 💪🏼

This costs me a fortune i would say, but does not curle my lashes at all and just lies in my make up bag. Tried to sell this but no luck!

lebiadkin 4/21/2025, 4:37:43 PM

Clearly this is my main regret lately: the handheld R36s. Yes, "more than 15000 games" (Some of them in several emulators), and some of them are really cool to play again, but after a few days, the batery died. Not recommended.

I can hear the electricity when it’s plugged in and that freaks me out 😂

Dhani 4/18/2025, 12:04:43 PM

here is the deal, i want a headphone that i can use for working out... i just love a tech where they can do almost everything in one go like this thing having bluetooth and cable at the same time

anyway lemme share some exprienced with this wireless headphone...
this is called soundpeats space i buy this cuz it have an audio jack so i can use it using cable and for external mic extender

i mean the feature is all great, there is ANC, good foam, gaming mode, have like 120 hours of playtime on battery

i thought it was going to sound decent and the material is good so im guessing it will be comfy af using it a long time....

but the problem lie here....

im starting to feel a headache after 30 min using it, the sound is crappy and the ANC is not really that good, mic is ok i guess and it can be switch out using mic extender

https://twitter.com/Freqdhani/status/1913198110039572986

but for the price it ain't cheap for me

this cost around 70$ so its something that i regret buying it and i dont have any other pair of headphone..... so just stick with it

I regret having bought this fan for my cell phone since the publication said that it cooled on very hot days and when I was playing, which was a lie since the cell phone remained just as hot in the processor part, it only cooled the bottom part which was not very important if not the processor is what mattered that it would cool, that is why I regret having bought it.

I bought this cup warmer for coffee, given the many hours spent on the computer. Useless, it doesn't even keep it warm

Wireless phone charger stand I bought like a week ago, there were no instructions or a list of compatible sizes so I just prayed it could hold my iPhone 14 Pro Max...
it couldn't.
10$ well spent!!

Cheap but the game is not worth the candle

Still remember the excitement when I bought that PSP, then fall to the edge. Can't turn it on! They said I need to charge it first. After a day long charging, it still dead. Can't return it for refund because no adults want to accompany, they're all busy. (It's Eid Mubarak Holiday, kinda complicated just to take care this thing. But still, it used my own money that I got from big family. Still want to play it for once 😭

Then that adaptor for my Iphone5. They said it's original one but I only used it once because the phone already dead for eternity and I'm not using iphone anymore. Also nobody wants to buy it 😮‍💨

This is a cellphone cooler that I bought 4 days ago. I really regret buying it. The advertisement said "it can cool the cellphone in less than 1 minute, and has a very cold temperature. In fact, when my cellphone was hot and I used the cooler for 5 minutes, it didn't even cool it down and the heat didn't even decrease.

Thankfully, it wasn't the most expensive purchase, but I still regretted it. I wanted to create a nice sky atmosphere for my parents when they watch movies at home with this LED light projector. Visually, it's not too shabby, but sadly it makes an annoying humming sound that just ruins everything...

Does it need to be something that we still own or something that we regret buying which we have since got rid of. If we can find a picture of it online, would that work aslong as we described it?

Gaypengwing 🔜 Ren Faire Uk

Hi Gaypengwing 🔜 Ren Faire Uk, the photo must be yours. If you have an old photo of it then that will work, or you'll need to submit a product you are able to take a photo of yourself.

I regret buying this portable charger because it lasted me 6 months and now it doesn't charge anything and apart from that the assembly is of poor quality.
