As you know, I have a weakness for the infomercial. Pajama Jeans, anyone? So, when I saw the infomercial for the Robo Stir, I couldn’t help myself:
The Robo Stirรขโ€žยข 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.
Robo StirStirring 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:
Yes, if you watched the video to the very last moments of the Robo Stir’s first minute of use, you saw that the stirring mechanism fell off.

Robo Stir stirring part falls offDespite 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…

Robo Stir Completely falls apart…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.

  1. Muahaha! This was such a funny, but informative post! I guess this is the reason why I tend to steer away from infomercial products!

  2. WOW…that gadget is more than a little disturbing yet extremely funny at the same time. So glad you were able to put it to good use afterall. ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. I love As Seen on TV Products and I can tell you do too. I hope you wrote them back for a full refund.. WOW !!

  4. I like your new use for the robo stir. My Grandfather once bought a little “grill” off the TV. Craziest thing ever!

  5. Oh my! What a great product….can’t wait to get my very own. I could use a back rub! lol

  6. I don’t know what it is about infomercials, but they always seems to convince me that I NEED the product, even though I know most of the time they end up working nothing like they do on TV. Looks like this is another one of those products!

  7. That is hilarious! I’m a sucker for infomercials too – but I can never bring myself to buy them. One thing I did get was the Windshield Wonder…not too shabby. The Fushigi ball however, was given to us as an Xmas present… talk about a joke!

  8. That is the worst performance of any as seen on tv tool ever. I guess I an happy with my snuggie, lol
