I use this little tool in so many ways, and hardly ever for melon balls! It's great for shaping meatballs, making uniform-sized drop cookies, small ice cream scoops for single serving desserts, scooping the seeds out of cucumbers and apples, etc. It's just a great thing to have around. This one in particular has a great grip on it, and the convenience of two sizes of scoops. Definitely a must-have for my kitchen.

This thing is great! It's up for scraping the seeds out of a cuke, coring apples, and even (!) making pretty little melon balls. It's easy to clean, it's grippy, and it comes with two different sizes on the ends - just one scoop didn't cut it for OXO. They went above and beyond the call of duty. If only the people who set the price on this thing would do the same... Though it's somewhat pricey for the small gadget it is, I think it's worth the money just in the amount of time it saves me scooping the seeds out of the middle of apples. And plums and other small stone fruit as well.

This is a good quality tool. I expected the 'good grips' handles to be soft and squishy, but they are quite hard. They don't slip around though, even when wet, which is nice.

I previously had a "Brand X" melon baller which, with occasional use, developed a cracked handle which I had to tape to keep together and later, the scoop end broke off! I broke down and got the best... the OXO is really sturdy and, as with all their products, comfortable to use. I can tell I'll get years of use out of it without it falling to pieces like my previous one. It just goes to show, even with a product that only gets occasional use, it doesn't pay to get a cheap one!

I love this little utensil. The handle is sturdy and the two sized scoops are very useful for different tasks. I use it to drain or scoop out any small items, such as capers or olives. I like the idea of using it for meatballs or even balling up the crumb for crumb cake. It's a versatile tool not only to create melon balls.

I have a melon baller like this one, Im not sure it is exactly the same model, something you might want to consider is that Ive found the two-scoop models like this hurts my hand severely when I use them, the opposite end cuts into my hand. Im getting rid of mine and switching to a model with only one scoop.

I've used it for cookies and I have used it to core apples to make apple tarts. I've also used it for watermelon and honey dew. I've used it to scoop ice cream.
I even use it as a spoon. possibilities are limitless. I think i paid almost $10 for it which is alot for a metal spoon with plastic handle but so far, it's worth the every penny.

Can't say much for it since it's just a melon baller but it is sturdy and does the job. It's also nice that it has two different sizes. I like the brand Oxo and have never been dissapointed.

This melon baller creates perfect balls. Much better than the old tupperware one that my mother had. If you like melon, I highly recommend this melon baller--everyone's always impressed by melon balls, and they're so easy!

This is a great product! I use it to peel apples, and lots of other stuff I never thought I would use it for! Very handy!
