The Robo Stirâ„¢ 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 agree with VampKitty….a GREAT idea. There is so much potential there. But apparently they didn’t put much thought into the workmanship of the product!
such a waste of money!
but glad you still find something to do with that robo.. 😛
That’s a good idea for a help aid, but very poorly designed.
Okay, I heard about this for the first time yesterday and then I saw your post about it today. Isn’t it weird when things like that happen?
Honestly, though, I can’t believe people get away with selling this junk! I mean, I understand the whole caveat emptor thing, but still–it’s just not right!
Wow! I’ve never heard of this one! Unfortunately I can’t get this iPod to show me the YouTube video, but what I read did justice.
LOL old fashioned way still the best, huh?
I am an infomercial junkie! I have a list of things I want from them!! I know now not to add this! Thanks for the great review!
the best part was the arm falling off… seesh…. I remember that GMA (or somebody) did a review on a lot of the infomercial items and the robo-stir was one of them, it also failed their tests as well…
What amazes me the most about this product and your experience with it is:
in all likelihood, this is not an isolated incident! You have to wonder about the conversation that ensued after the FIRST time this happened! LOL
“Hmmm, that’s a bit troublesome. I wonder what type of liability we are opening ourselves up for by continuing to sell this product?”
“Well, we do have 50 million already manufactured. The parts aren’t THAT big. Maybe no one will notice.”
ON second thought, after seeing your video, I am very disappointed! Not gonna waste my money on this then haha, thanks for the great review! Love how you use it as a massager haha
