I spent more time emptying the Roomba and removing that dog hair from the brushes than I did doing a quick vacuum. I’m going to try again now that our dog recently passed (a pry with tons of long hair) to just to the daily upkeep. I did really like how it went around the chair and table legs in the kitchen.

I love my lady roombas, run them daily! Got my first when the 5 kids were little and we had no dog at the time. Now kids are mostly gone but roomba gets a lot of dog hair (and our dog is 20 points, short hair). She docks herself when done. I like listening to her, she’s the only other cleaner in my house besides myself.

Whereas if I had to listen to it every day, I’d probably jump out of a window. I’m super sensitive. I now wear noise cancelling headphones when I vacuum. Game changer

Manicures (and nail polish in general). I just can’t see spending that kind of money on a regular basis for something I want to pick off as soon as they put it on.
Dyson cordless vacs. The batteries wear out, they have a short run time at full capacity, and they don’t have as much suction as a corded vac.

But it seems like they charge twice as much as other sock manufacturers, so who’s the one really donating.

I love my Roomba. Greatest invention of all time.
Avocado toast, however, I just don’t get.

We only run our roomba when we’re out of the house. It doesn’t eliminate regular vacuuming, but it’s a nice touch-up that’s basically invisible if you run it while out anyway.
Maybe I’m weird, but it gives me a nice warm and fuzzy feeling to see that “just vacuumed” striped pattern on the carpet when I come home, and the dust gone from our dark hardwood floors.

I’m still stubbornly resisting, but I don’t have an air fryer or instapot-type appliance yet.
And sorry if this sounds all elitist and bougie, but I don’t get caviar. Every time I’ve had it I was underwhelmed. I do like tobiko though, it’s much cheaper relative (flying fish roe, served at most sushi joints).

We have a ninja combo toaster over/air fryer, but the air fryer doesn’t work well. Whenever we get sushi I always order an ikura hand roll.

Gigantic pickup trucks. People who want trucks apparently want them supersized.

I may or may not comment on the probable physical characteristics of the owner which leads to such compensation.

What if the owner is female?

Expensive gym clothing. I get my (store brand) stuff on sale at Macys – the clothes look fine and do the job for about 25% of the price of designer gym clothing.

Perhaps this should be a no-reply thread as, obviously, what one person doesn’t “get,” others do and seem to feel they have to defend which isn’t the purpose of the thread, I don’t think.

I don’t “get” any fast food. When we lived in the burbs, every time a new fast food place opened there were enormous lines. For Bojangle’s Chicken? Chik-Fil-A? I don’t get it. IMO the food isn’t even that good.

Since the OP started with a question, I guess I thought it was an opportunity to answer.
Saying that, it seems that an overhyped product is one that needs no explanation for why it’s not for them, since that’s the purpose of this thread.
Everyone and their brother likes beach vacations, my overhyped opinion. If someone wants to tell me why I’m wrong, that’s theirs. They aren’t going to change mine.
I am not a fan of fast food, especially Five Guys. It’s so expensive just for burgers and a regular order of fries. Throw in a drink and it’s even more. H loves it so we go once while visiting BIL in CA, but I would otherwise choose elsewhere.

We already had a thread about possibly overhyped restaurants; perhaps that could be reopened? Otherwise this thread will turn into a duplicate of that.

I don’t understand the hype about Stanley cups.
