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. It seem those infomercial products don’t work much at all. I keep hearing bad things about them, no wonder they’re not sold in stores lol. It’s too bad they don’t work because they’re good ideas. Imagine if us bloggers had to review infomercial products, we’d have a lot of negative reviews lol.

  2. Don’t feel too bad – I want everything I ever see on television, even stupid things I know won’t work that I can’t use! It’s not because I’m gullible, it’s because I was a child in the 80s and my little 80s heart knows all too well how many cabbage patch kids and pretty ponies it needs to be content – infomercials are no different! I’ve perved on every robotic device that’s ever been created, it’s in my make up!

  3. That is just hilarious, thank you for sharing this truthful moment. I had seriously been wondering about this special kitchen gadget, but now I know I can save my money.

  4. LOL, I can’t believe that is still available for purchase. But we can all use a massage once and a while not to mention a back scratcher.

  5. I’m with “amanda k.” put some eyes on that bad boy and it would make a great halloween decoration!!!!!! Gotta love faulty technology ๐Ÿ™‚

  6. NO. WAY. I can’t believe they even make that! I’m not surprised at all the stirers all fell off!

  7. I am so happy I found your blog…. could have used it a few hundred times lol. Yeah thats exactly what I want to eat, whisk parts lol.

  8. I saw the infomercial about those the other day and giggled to myself. I love your final use for it!
