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. Pretty funny! Their idea wasn’t half bad….should have done some more testing before sending them out though ๐Ÿ˜‰

  2. lol! LOVE your review ๐Ÿ™‚ I guess this is one of those “As seen on TV” items that is not all it’s cracked up to be…Thanks for the heads up ๐Ÿ˜‰

  3. Oh dear! That looks like something that would happen to me. I’ve never seen that product advertised, because well, all we watch around here is Nick Jr. BUT, I’m glad that I can dissuade others from buying that product!!! Did you get your money back??

  4. That is too funny! I generally get sucked into the late night infomercials as well, so THANK YOU for saving me the hassle!!

  5. This is hilarious! Yes I’m a sucker for a good infomercial too! My items usually end up in a garage sale but there are a few that actually work and I still use.

  6. Woooooow, is all I can say. Hurry up and get a refund!

    Then stay away from the infomercials or you’ll keep getting these crappy products ๐Ÿ™‚

    I love the last pic though; great use as a back massager – maybe you should tell them to add that to the commercial as its main use! LOL

  7. Thanks of posting the truth behind this rip off! I considered myself lucky when in my Graveyard Mall Mystery Box I got not 1 but 2 Robo Stirs and for the record the ones I got worked about the same as the one you got! I was considering giving one away for christmas but I really think I would be embarressed to do it!!
