The electric candle: Worst. Gadget. Ever

Yes, worse than the Windows SPV phone.

Gadget insurer Protectyourbubble.com carried out a study to identify some of the worst crap ever to ship from China.

The ludicrous flameless candle got the top spot, and there were no phones on the list.

Indeed, the mobile was voted the best gadget of all time.

Researchers found that three quarters of people have bought a gadget they have rarely or never used, with almost 30 per cent admitting to taking something back to the shop because they thought it was useless.

The study also revealed that the average Brit will spend more than £540 on things they will never use over a lifetime.
