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.
Wow and it just falls apart! This is what we get for thinking a robot can do a human’s job, crunchy burned white sauce! ๐ I would like to suggest, the next time an infomercial comes on you shut the tv off, and go to bed. Robo-stir indeed.
I actually thought about buying one of those. Thanks for the info.
LMAO! Oh my God. I almost fell off my chair when the sauce was burning and the legs broke off of the thing. Now what EVER will society do without a proper robot to stir our bechamel? hehe
I was wondering about that contraption when I saw the infomercial, thanks for the heads up!
This is so funny! The fact that it all falls apart is hilarious!
Those infomercials will get you every time! My mom buys just about everything she sees on TV, but I have to say that I haven’t seen a product quite this crappy yet. I figured it wouldn’t work, but the fact that it fell apart so quickly really had me shaking my head.
Confession: I bought a product similar to this a few years ago. I make a lot of fudge during the holidays which requires constant stirring. I took it out of the box, took one look at it, and never used the thing. ๐
No way!!! That viedo was so funny…but wow, what an epic fail for Robo Stir! I have trouble sleeping and find myself watching informercials all the time. I’m so glad I didn’t buy this one and thanks to you I won’t bother. Too bad, it would’ve made cooking easier…if it actually worked lol.
That was seriously too funny. What a piece of junk. Did you call the manufacturer? Maybe just maybe you were the unfortunate individual who received the only craptastic Robo Stir at the warehouse.
Probably not.
Thanks for the heads-up!
Thanks for starting my day off with a laugh! I’m so sorry you had such a horrible experience with the product, but at least it made for a great blog post. Thanks for sharing. =)
I am so glad I saw this. I almost bought one!! ๐
