The Robo Stirรขโยข is the new way to make kitchen work quick and easy. It’s the tool that let’s you stir your food without actually having to stir.
Stirring food is such a chore! Obviously I need a Robo Stir.
The commercial for Robo Stir really makes it look like it is something that rotates in a whisk-like motion, so I was a little surprised when I got my Robo Stir in the mail and found that it really just vibrates.
Vibrates in a circular motion.
I was sure that it would be MUCH better in a pan and solve all my stirring needs, so I gathered a little help (Jana & Andrea) and we prepared to make white sauce to test out the Robo Stir.
We melted the butter.
We added the flour.
We set the Robo Stir in the pan to relieve us from the strenuous stirring duties.
I grabbed my camera and took the picture above and then grabbed my video camera to accurately demonstrate the rotational component:
Despite the missing ability to stir, the Robo Stir continued to jiggle and jump in one portion of my pan for a few more moments until…
…all three of the Robo Stir feet fell off as well.
So, if you are satisfied with a product that will give you 45 seconds of marginally helpful use, then Robo Stir is for you.
As for us, we have found a better use for the Robo Stir.
It delivers a mildly effective back massage.
this is {so} something i would have purchased…. LOL. thanks for deterring my purchase. :O)
Oh my goodness, I laughed so hard. Love your honesty and you were so comical about it. I so love a refreshingly honest review. Keep up the good work. I will be watching your posts from now on.
Judging by how frequently I walk away and burn something because I didn’t stir it, I could have used this if it actually worked. LOL
Oh my…well it was worth a try I guess. LOL
Aww. I’m a real sucker for infomercials. It’s a good thing it’s not that easy to place an order where I live. Too bad it didn’t work out. I think it would have been very useful.
So freakin’ funny.
Robo no stir, but robo make great back massager. LOL!
Haha this seems to be how most of them work! When I was 18 and first moved out of my parents’ house I bought all kinds of this stuff…the only thing I found that I actually liked (and wish I could still find) was the Pasta Pot with the lid that drains stuff.
Oh, no!!! I love infomercials, too, and this is one I’d have considered getting. How many times are you supposed to stir a pot of something *constantly* for 15 minutes? And then what, let your toddler run around the kitchen, making tin can towers and knocking the cans everywhere? Or my little guy’s favorite – rifling through eh fridge… he always ends up eating 1/2 a bottle of mustard or something before I can stop him – all thanks to that constant stirring.
Well, thanks for the review. Sorry, but I’m glad it was you who had to find out how it worked and not me. You saved me $14.99 + S&H!
I started reading this and thought, “Why in God’s name would anyone need this?” and brainstormed some ideas as I scrolled through your post (maybe someone with arthritis or atrophied arm muscles could use a Robo Stir). When the stirring mechanism fell off, I thought, “Oh, what a terrible product! I hope she contacts the company.” And when the rest of the device spontaneously combusted, I laughed out loud. Great review. ๐
