What is the lowest quality product you’ve ever purchased?

The other fly swatters will know not to mess with that fly.

I bought an ouya. I remember just about everything sucked. It's the thing that came into mind.
It's funny that Ouya's brand recognition is so infamous that no additional explanation is needed.

A Logitech gaming headset, I think it was G332. My main headphones broke, and I needed some ASAP, so I went to the local store and bought them as backup ones. The black paint on the padding started peeling off almost immediately and it got everywhere, like sand.
I think all headsets fall in this category, never had one last a year without repairs. I've replaced so much of my current headphones that it doesn't even look like the same model anymore.

I bought a harbor freight heat gun. All I'll use it for is lighting charcoal. Very uneven heat, and will melt itself if you don't turn it nozzle up when you turn it off.

Quip was pretty awful compared to Sonicare.

Edit: I misread the question. I thought it was "lowest quality product that you still use" (I was distracted)
Original comment:
Harbor freight calipers. Surprisingly still accurate and undamaged through years of abuse. Kind of amazing, and shockingly useful. -
Same here, I bought Strawberries for 50% off at H-Mart, they didn't even last the night lol.
I bought mine at NETTO
Every vegie or fruit i bought there is always quickly rotten.
I even saw rotten lemons and paprika in their isle -
Measuring cup from Walmart. Packaging said dishwasher safe. It was not.
Better Homes Food chopper that couldn't be disassembled to clean it. Potato chunks got pulled up into the housing by the blades and just rotted there with no way to access it. The exact same model is still sold in stores.
I've had measuring cups where all the markings come off.

Strawberrys...
On day of purchase they were fine, i put them in a fridge and next day all rotten and moldy...
Do yourself a favor and soak them in some vinegar water after you get them home. About a 1:4 mixture of white vinegar to water. The acidity will kill the mold spores that cause the berries to go bad, and it won’t be strong enough to affect the taste after you rinse them.
I usually just fill up a mixing bowl with vinegar water when I’m getting groceries in. First thing I do is drop the berries in to soak. Then I put away all of my groceries, which gives the berries a few minutes to soak. Finally, I dump the bowl and give the berries a quick rinse with the sink sprayer.
I haven’t had strawberries go moldy since I started doing it. If I forget about them in the fridge, they’ll simply dry out instead.

probably not the lowest quality, but an allarm clock from walmart that sheared/tore off the prongs from its plug leaving them in the outlet. (to have some charity I was putting significant strain on it)
Alarm clocks have been the bane of my existence. Almost every one of them is a cheap POS that barely handles you hitting the snooze button

I can barely count the number of alarm clocks that I ended up destroying by hitting the snooze button on two hands.
