5.0 out of 5 stars greatest thing since scooped ice cream March 28, 2006

By Keith Wissman

Color Name:20-Gold

have used this for 20 years and it's still going strong. the freon that is sealed into the one piece die cast aluminum is warmed by your hand which warms the freon inside (you can hear it when you shake the scoop) and the freon gently warms the cup of the scoop allowing for easy release of the ice cream.

BUT it cannot be put in the dishwasher. the super hot water temp will cause the seal to leak allowing the freon out.

most likely, the current scoops are using the replacement for freon (which i can't remember the name).

easiest scoop to use, easy to clean, built like a tank. it will be the last scoop you buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Pleased July 11, 2009

By P. Bouknecht

Color Name:12-Blue

I admit to being reluctant to spend this much money on an ice cream scoop but now that I've used it, I think it was money well spent. It works very well; just hold it in your hand for about 15-30 seconds and then scoop out hard ice cream easier than you've ever experienced.

Other than working as promised, it has no moving parts to break as I've experienced with others. I'm reasonably sure this will be the last scoop I ever buy!

I bought the 3-oz and think it's the perfect size for eating the ice cream from a dish. The 4-ox would have been too large. The smaller sizes might be perfect for cones.

I've read some negative reviews but most of those idiots put it in the dishwasher or other extremely hot water in spite of warnings only a blind person could miss. All you need to do is rinse it off in tap water when you're done and let it air dry.

5.0 out of 5 stars BIG scoops September 21, 2005

By M. Exinger

Color Name:10-Brown|Amazon Verified Purchase

We own an ice cream parlor, where we make our own homemade ice cream. We've always bragged about "Enormous scoops - ridiculously good" but we had to put TWO balls from a regular dipper on the cone to make what we felt was a serious (5 oz.) scoop of ice cream. No more - the Zeroll 4 oz. scooper allows us to overscoop to 5 oz. in one ball, easy. It's HUGE and looks tasty as all get out, but it does tend to scare young mothers and old women.

4.0 out of 5 stars Safe -- but don't use the dishwasher. December 29, 2006

By N. Koeppen

Color Name:10-Brown

Ice cream scoops like this one cannot be run through the dishwasher. I forgot once, and the scoop came out discolored. That's probably what "Dan from Utah" experienced. I replaced it, and haven't forgotten again.

4.0 out of 5 stars works decently but not flawless January 11, 2010

By Dana

Color Name:12-Blue|Amazon Verified Purchase

This product claims to require almost no effort in scooping ice cream and that the ice cream slides right off. It stil requires a decent amount of wrist action and you need to shake the scooper a bit to release the ice cream. Make sure you shake the scooper to get the fluid moving and heat conducted - the scooper works much better this way.

5.0 out of 5 stars It will outlive you! September 9, 2008

By Mark F. Miller

Color Name:16-Green

I have this 2-1/2 oz model (Zeroll makes 6 serving sizes) and I've been using it for over a decade. It really works well on frozen ice cream, as described. However, after a few years of use, the aluminum alloy tends to lose it shine and acquires scratches, etc. I use an aluminum wheel polish (from any automotive source) to buff it back to near pristine appearance every few years. I just polish the outside and handle; the inside of the scoop is suppose to have a slightly rough "brushed" finish to allow the ice cream to drop out easier. I'm certain this scoop will outlive me. Zeroll also offers an anodized/Teflon finish on all of their scoops, but when they get dinged and scratched, you can't polish those. Also want to add that the size "16" (with green antifreeze plug) produces a perfect dip of ice cream. I'm actually surprised that they make 6 sizes. I'd love to see them make one in copper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Scoops December 16, 2009

By Tim R Ayers

Color Name:12-Blue|Amazon Verified Purchase

This ice cream scoop lives up to every claim. It glides through ice cream and makes perfect scoops. I mostly eat ice cream cones and the 3-ounce scoop is just the right size. My ice cream cones look like advertising pictures now. I love that you can scoop a lot of ice cream and it never starts sticking. This is one of my most satisfying gadget purchases ever.
