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 almost got sucked in by a commercial not long ago until I realized it was just strips of plastic- duh! obviously I could d that all by myself
LOL! Another one to avoid is the Automatic pasta cooker – a plastic jar you dump pasta into, pour in boiling water, and 10 minutes later, pull out a gluey half-cooked mess!
Why don’t they have an auto-nagger? That would be more useful for mamas. You could set it to record only your voice for one day, then after that, it would randomly play one of your nags or bellows at random intervals – while you’re up in bed eating bon-bons and watching soaps – and it would almost as if you were actually there nagging your family or bellowing at little junior to stop stuffing grapes into the VCR or whatever!
Or the auto diaper-changer! Of course, I’m not sure I’d want to trust my baby to a contraption like that – especially after seeing what happened to your Robo-stir! 🙂
LOL definitely not stuff I want in my food! I have found a great “stirrer”….my daughter as she got older! hahahaha
Thanks for the feedback!
Omg! I was thinking of getting one of those as well…well, at least until I saw this post. Lol I can’t believe it fell apart like that! But maybe I will invest in one and just use it as a back massage item…looks great that way!! 😉
That stinks! I am sorry you received a product that is a dud… I hate when that happens. I’ve had a few of those in my time (probably more than a few, truth be told…). I am a sucker for wanting new and cool gadgets, especially kitchen or electronic/tech ones!
So luckily I didn’t pay for it, I was sent it to review, But it was the Sunny Seat for Cats. Allegedly 4 suction cups can hold up to like 50 lbs on a window or glass door. Of course it only stayed up when there was no cat on it for me. And even then after 20 minutes it popped off. I cleaned the window again put the Sunny Seat back up and my cat jumped on and it held him for a few minutes and it slid down and landed on the bookshelf I had under the window. Luckily he didnt get hurt! I still cant figure out how they got it to work in the infomercial!
Way to funny!!!
And thus is the reason I never buy these things….although I’ve picked up quite a few free from our swap shop at the transfer station….lol
Lol, that’s AWESOME!!! I feel you’re pain, I’m a total infomercial junkie too, though my husband thankfully knows that and won’t let me buy anything (though if we’d had $99.99 at 2am the night Jack Alaine’s Power Juicer was on, that would be a different story, lol)! Awesome review, great pictures, and have fun with your new(ish) massager! 😛
LOL… I’m a sucker for infomercials, too! I will steer clear of this one, thanks =]
