The Robo Stirรขโยข 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.
Stirring 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:
Despite 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…
…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.
It delivers a mildly effective back massage.
I actually thought that I was about to watch a review for something that actually works. Now, if memory serves, didn’t you get TWO for the price of one? If so, maybe the FREE one works and the one that you pay for doesn’t…..LOL Jus sayin.
Ah, that’s a shame that it broke. Oh well, I guess it was worth a try still ๐
It’s always so disappointing to buy something then it doesn’t do what it claims to do =/ And even worse to come apart during first use!! =(
so funny! I think i may just .. pee my pants! no joke! my brain was boggling when the darn thing never moved in your pan =[ and then it falls apart? really? *shame*
i never buy any of that junk anymore. we bought those closet savers, the hanger thing. Wonder Hanger and it did NOT help! we tossed the stupid piece of junk but i wish there was another form of use like your robo stir as a back massager =]
Wow….. that is definetly the opposite of a good product if it broke within a minute of use!
Like creatures of the night, infomercials prey on insomniacs and folks who just get home to late to watch anything real. I’ve been in both categories from time to time, and bought strange things in the middle of the night!
Not all infomercial products are duds, however. Friends & family teased me for getting a Magic Bullet mixer, but I absolutely love the dang thing. It actually works – great!
The infomercial was pretty entertaining, too. They had a cast of quirky characters; one of my faves was a frumpy Aunt who wore curlers, smoked a fake cigarette and made pessimistic remarks about whether the product would work or not. Her sarcasm created a nice counterpoint to all the hype.
Sorry about your Robo-Stir, though. Thanks for the entertaining post, and better luck next time! ๐

That’s hilarious! I came across a Slap Chop. (Received it for free,so didn’t spend money on it, thankfully)
You know, the one that makes chopping your food take 2.5 seconds?
Yea, well… I used it once. On half a green pepper. Instead of nicely chopped up pieces of pepper like I would have got had I thrown it in my mini food processor, I got a bunch of fairly large half squished pieces of pepper. The rest were stuck in between the blades and I had to use the handle of a spoon to dig them out.
Never again.
(I did have success with a veggie slicer called the Euro Slicer, though!)
Wow – that is definitely one terrible product… >.< I hate it when that happens.
Good idea, bad product. Lol!!!
LOL! WOW!!! That is one horrible product!!
