I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

A bread machine. Had good reviews. I used it like 3 or 4 times. The mixing things are too small to mix the dough properly, and having to fish them out of the bread after it was done was a huge hassle. The bread was not great... Shell was too hard, and the top side didn't cook properly. Then I realized, I could basically do the same with a planetary mixer that can mix the dough and the normal oven, and the end result was far better.

I use bread machines for mixing the dough and resting and stuff and then bake in the oven on a pan. Am I crazy for that?

Same here, I did make some amount of bread as a sort of novelty, but after a month most of my use came down to having it make my pizza dough for me. Did that for years.
