This is a question Crap Gadgets

We wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.

Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

Portable solar panels
Various friends have different makes of these, and they all seem to be shit. One friend insisted hers was brand new and very efficient, so I left my phone with her for an entire day at a festival and it didn't charge one tiny bit. Another one positioned on a van windscreen in full sun for 6 hours didn't charge a friend's battery significantly.

Well-intentioned people being conned by crappy so-called green gadgets. Rah.

They're not without use
just completely useless for what most people buy them for. For charging a spare battery over the course of a week or so, they're fine. For charging your phone at a festival, they're shite.
