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 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:
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.
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.
Whoa! I was TOTALLY Thinking about getting one of these thingamagigs, but decided that my 5 dollar whisk and my arm flab could do it… hey… what can I say? I need the workout anyway! haha.
Ha Ha Ha! That’s my idea of an honest and helpful review! Thanks! I’m not really sure I need a mildly effective back massager, though. I’ve already got that in my husband! And I guess it’s the spa for a very effective one!
I like the video review! I love how they always have a pumping awesome informercial. So funny how it just fell apart!
mmm I would have brought it too…

LOL! I got that spaghetti cooker from the infomercial once… It’s now a veggie strainer, so you can imagine how well it worked for me 🙂
That is really too funny! I agree with sending them the review…lol.
Lol!!! That’s horrible!!! I hope you send them a link to this.
Oh Lordy, now that is high quality! 🙂 Thanks for the laugh.
LOL! This is hysterical. My son is obsessed with infomercials and is always trying to convince me I need something new that he has seen on TV.
That is an awesome review. Love the back massager picture. Too funny!
