A Sasakian manifold is a Riemannian manifold whose metric cone admits a certain K\"ahler structure which behaves well under homotheties. We show that the product of two compact Sasakian manifolds admits a family of complex structures indexed by a complex nonreal parameter, none of whose members admits any compatible locally conformally K\"ahler metrics if both Sasakian manifolds are of dimension greater than $1$. We compare this family with another family of complex structures which has been studied in the literature. We compute the Dolbeault cohomology groups of these products of compact Sasakian manifolds.
