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. That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard of and the fact that it fell apart in its first minute of use is sad….yet mildlyl amusing. ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. I have to admit to falling for the PJ Jean infomercial, had to return them, surprise, not what they appeared to be. Live learn don’t waste money ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thanks for the review of the robo stir.

  3. OMG! That’s crazy. LOL I’m laughing about this post. I guess I’m just gonna have to keep standing over the pot and stir it myself. Oh well!

  4. LOL! WOWZA!!!!! Next time I get a hankering to try out a product I see on tv….I’ll give you a shout and see if you want to test it first! LOL! With having a 1 yr old, I see a lot of those because late night is “me” time! :))

  5. Oh my gosh, that is too funny!! So sorry it was such a let down. Can you get your money back? My husband and I always make jokes about the crazy infomercials we see, but I can always see why people fall for them. They are so cleverly marketed!

  6. That is too funny, and it is great that you got it on video! Some of the infomercial items can be quite good. I have bought some of them once they have come out in the stores. I guess some of them though are not so great. I bet you girls had a good laugh though.
