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. OMG — best. product. review. EVER!!! I absolutely loved it:) I went to the Calgary Stampede yesterday to the “marketplace” which is essentially a giant huge building full of booth after booth of informercial products like this. I got a ton of good laughs for free and bought two products. Hopefully they don’t turn out to be like the amazing Robo-Stir…more like a robot chicken skit. Thanks for the giggle ladies:)

  2. I can’t even say a single word…I buy the pitch and make purchases of stupid useless stuff all the time! I thought I needed one of these things too! So glad I saw yours fall apart first, cause I really wanted one of these ๐Ÿ™‚

    Darn it!

  3. I think this is pretty neat, I remember seeing it on TV for the first time, and thought wow that could save me some time and less burnt sauces!

  4. Well, that’s a good substitute for the Robo Stir…

    I feel the same way about the Shake Weight…I think I’ve used it a total of 1 minute…if that.

  5. Omg! Will you write them or call them at all? I will almost feel like I need to! Excellent test of three product!

  6. This is exactly why my hub set up a force field / hyper gravitron invisi fence around our
    “mind control unit” (tv in laymen’s terms) if my wallet/credit card are anywhere in the vicinity when a commercial comes on, they are vaporized.

  7. Your video cracked me up!! Even my little boys had to come watch it…hehehe. Sucks it did not work, it sounded so cool…oh well, at least you got a back massage out of it!
