Crap GadgetsWe 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

Ice cream maker fiasco.When I was little I won a super-duper new-fangled ice cream maker in a raffle.Of course I was thrilled and after my poor father managed to get me home,via the supermarket to buy all the ingredients that were necessary (Strawberries,Milk,and 6 tonnes of sugar) we set to getting the thing working.We studied the instructions and did everything we were meant to do,like good little boy scouts.After 6 hours of me shrieking,"IS IT READY YET?",we decided to have a look.
It had burnt a 3 inch hole into the back of our new fridge-freezer (delivered the previous week).Burnt ice cream is not a nice thing.Nor is the look of sheer horror and depression on your father´s face when he realises he has to spunk up yet more money for another freezer.
We tried to get compensation,but of course,it was our fault for following the manufacturer´s instructions to the T.
Now we just buy ice cream like normal people.
