I was tired of bending spoons and struggling with cheap tinny ice cream scoops. I have arthritis and not a lot of strength in my hands but this baby does all the work for me making the ice cream easy to dig out of the carton. I love the pointed end for digging in and the substantial handle for managing the dig. If the ice cream is too hard I will warm the scoop with warm water first but I rarely need to do that. Also, once the ice cream is out of the carton, it easily slides off the scoop and into the bowl.

I love the scoop and bought one as a Christmas Gift for a relative who had a good ice cream scoop on their Christmas list.

We've had numerous ice cream scoops over the years & this one is better than most at cutting through hard ice cream. Our only criticism is that the handle isn't comfortable to hold - it has a few edges that are somewhat sharp & the end has enough of a point that it's uncomfortalbe in the palm of my hand.

No, seriously, when I want ice cream, the last thing I want is some crappy spoon or chintzy and totally ineffective plastic scoop standing between me and my bliss. This scoop is pretty awesome. Scoops ice cream like room temperature butter. It feels nice and solid in hand and is nicely balanced without being ridiculously heavy, easy to clean- no moving parts, not flimsy or crappy in any way. I'd get two, at least, one for each hand.

I loved this scooper when I first got it. I chose it for it's ability to be cleaned in the dishwasher, and the great reviews on its scooping capability. However, now after three months of use, the handle is starting to separate a slight bit from the scooper. This causes a slight wobble in scooping, but it also causes water to seep into the opening while in the dishwasher. When I remove from dishwasher, water comes dripping out. I'm afraid over time this situation will deteriorate, and perhaps cause rust or mildewing in the interior of the scoop.

Addendum: I contacted Cuisinart, whose reply was that they contract out their small kitchen gadgets and therefore cannot send a replacement. They said they would refund me it if I send it back, which is pointless since the shipping cost would come close to the product cost. I will no longer buy Cuisinart gadgets, since the company clearly takes no responsibility for the product quality.

This ice cream scooper looked so good in the picture that I bought it. When it arrived I found it to be very cheaply made - its made in China. The handle was already loose and the scooper was badly scratched and gouged. The metal is obviously soft and cheap. There are much better ice cream scoopers for less money

After reading these reviews I was a little confused as to whether the handle was comfortable. Well I just want to let you know that the handle is very comfortable.

My neck and shoulders always have alot of pain. So scooping ice cream that is too hard has been very difficult! But with this scooper - it is a breeze-no matter how hard the ice cream is! The scooper just slides in and brings out perfect balls of ice cream. The pleasure of eating ice cream is just all that much better! Highly recommended!

Thank you Cuisinart....

I technically got this ice cream scoop free through Amazon's buy 4 items, pay for only 3 special so I can't be objective about the price.

However, this scoop is pretty amazing and actually makes me enjoy eating ice cream even more. It has a great feel to it and scooping is almost effortless.

Well it looks nice, has a good heft, and a good shape for scooping. The shiny surface shows hard water marks though, more than a brushed surface would. I haven't had it long enough to know if has weird durability issues like chrome peeling up or the handle wearing out. It has served me well so far, though!

Scoops hard ice cream. Keeps the ice cream in a ball form. Ice cream slides off well without sticking to the scooper. Great comfort on handle.
