Walmart is known for its low prices, but not every markdown is worth it. When an item breaks right away, shows up in bad shape or falls far from your expectations, the savings become less significant.
Check out these items at Walmart that have enough complaints to make you think twice before adding them to your cart.
Gymax Folding Rollaway Bed
- Price: $189.99
In theory, the Gymax Folding Rollaway Bed sounds like a good solution for anyone needing a temporary extra bed for guests. It’s described as having a 4-inch-thick, Italian-made, memory foam mattress that delivers super comfort. Plus, it folds and stows away when not in use.
At over $100 off, this sounds like a great deal. However, some shoppers aren’t convinced. Many shoppers complained that the mattress is as hard as a rock. Another shopper described the mattress as feeling like sleeping on pieces of different sizes of wood.
Galanz Air-Fry Countertop Microwave
- Price: $120.00
The Galanz Air-Fry Countertop Microwave seems like a match made in heaven — an appliance that will conveniently air fry or microwave. However, hundreds of shoppers gave it a one-star review for things like the door jamming, the air fryer burning their food or the appliance simply not working.
RNRUO Windows Laptop
- Price: $179.69
The RNRUO 14-inch Windows Laptop is labeled as being for a beginner or student, but shoppers don’t think it’s worth the money. Spoiler: It’s marked down from $349.
Complaints included the laptop not coming on after delivery and the keyboard being stiff. Also, anyone buying this for computer gaming will likely be disappointed. One parent said it wouldn’t even load Roblox for their child.
AMYET G60 Peak Electric Bike
- Price: $688.99
This AMYET G60 Peak Electric Bike fat-tire e-bike has a large capacity battery and seven-speed Shimano gears. Plus, it’s marked down more than 50% off the original price. Even so, many shoppers don’t think it’s worth the money. Some complained that the battery won’t hold a charge, while others complained of the bike being damaged right out of the box.
PowerSmart Gas Lawn Mower
- Price: $239.99
The PowerSmart Gas Lawn Mower was originally priced at $369.99, so it’s no wonder shoppers took advantage of the sale price. But some had a hard time using it for the task it was designed to do. One reviewer said the rubber gasket on the rear of the mower came off within the first 10 minutes of use and was chopped by the blade. Another one said during the first 20 minutes of use, the motor came off of the body of the mower. Additionally, reviewers complained that replacement parts are difficult, if not impossible, to get.
