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. Wow I have never seen that advertised but I’m glad you shared that it doesn’t work just in case!

  2. That is hilarious! I see that commercial all the time and wondered if it really worked. It seems like it’s less work to just stir the sauce than use that thing ๐Ÿ˜€

  3. lol – don’t feel bad – We own a Little Giant ladder, my mother-in-law bought a “keyboard” that ended up being 6 inches long and playing 4 recorded tunes and my husband is OBSESSED with the NuWave oven. (I haven’t let him buy it, so far.)

  4. Wow. That just blew my mind with how terrible of a product it is! I would say that maybe your pan is uneven, but even if that’s the case and the cause for it to lean in one direction, there’s no excuse for it to completely fall apart in one use. God I love the internet!

    And don’t feel too bad. Once I totally bought one of the exercise belts that “shocks” your abs to tone them. Sucker born every minute!

  5. If it actually worked right & didn’t fall apart, then I think I would find it useful! As seen on TV doesn’t work well for my buying power. I resist, always! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  6. Oh my gosh, I’d be so disappointed! I’ve never ordered anything from an infomercial simply because most of them are junk, obviously lol. But i ALMOST bought the Pajama Jeans..now, how could they go wrong?!
