Brita Tap Water Faucet Filtration System
Price: $34.99
For those looking to have an attachment on their kitchen sink to purify their water, they might be drawn to the Brita Tap Water Faucet Filtration System. After all, it's less than $40 and seems like a simple solution.
However, 22% of the reviews are two stars and below. Many one-star reviews complain about leaks, with one particularly unsatisfied customer saying, "First time using it was fine. Second time using it popped the faucet off my sink! Water flying everywhere."
PowerXL Vortex Steel Air Fryer
Price: $67.48
Though an air fryer is practically mandatory in modern kitchens, this PowerXL 6-quart model is not popular with customers. Many reviews said it didn't last longer than a year and that customer service was hard to get hold of. Customers who were able to talk to customer service said they didn't offer any repair solutions, and so they had to throw out the appliance.
iTouchless Wings Sensor Trash Can
Price: $124.99
Paying over $100 for a trash can is a big investment. For that type of money, you expect stellar performance, but that's not the case with this iTouchless sensor trash can. Of the reviews, 60% are two stars or below. Most critical reviews said the trash can stopped working in less than a year, or that it was poorly made.
HOM Effortless Cheese Grater
Price: $35.99
It seems the HOM Effortless Cheese Grater isn't so easy to use. Customers complained that the grater felt cheap, and the suction base won't stay on. One two-star review reads, "Suction cup did not work, so device would not stay mounted to the counter. Handle also did not attach well to the drum blades, making it very fragile and inconsistent."
Heynemo Programmable 8 Quart Slow Cooker
Price: $109.99
This Heynemo slow cooker doesn't seem to be made of quality materials, according to many reviewers. Customers complained that the pot's coating came off after only a few uses. Others lamented how it stopped working after only a few meals.
