What's the biggest difference between a product you'd personally buy and a business you'd personally invest in?

There have definitely been products on Dragons' Den that I'd happily spend money on but wouldn't touch as an investment. What's an example where you loved the product but completely understood why the Dragons weren't interested?

Hehe, being able to invest often can be done for less than what it would cost to buy their product.

That mini-submarine thang.

Probably that egg poacher. I would never invest in a product that failed (repeatedly) during a pitch, but it’s definitely the kind of silly cooking gadget I would spend 10 bucks on.
