Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Lever Ice Cream Scoop

Customer Review: Boo! Don't buy it.
Summary: 1 Stars

In practice, however, this scoop is just a pain in the butt. Whatever you're scooping ends up under the lever, which goes back down after you've ejected the food from the scoop. So, when you take it out of the dishwasher, the food under the lever has turned into a pretty disgusting blob.

Granted, you could painstakingly handwash the scoop every time you use it, but I'd rather spend money on something else that you can just throw in the dishwasher or, for those of us without a dishwasher, be able to wash without checking all the cracks and crevices to make sure there isn't any gross food stuck inside of it.

In my opinion, OXO should have designed the lever so that it doesn't go all the way back inside the recessed back of the scoop and instead rested just above the back of the scoop so it isn't such a hassle to clean.

By the way: it does its scooping job just fine, but the lever problem is so glaring that it isn't worth it.

Description of OXO Good Grips Lever Ice Cream Scoop

OXO was founded on the philosophy of Universal Design, which is the concept of designing products that are easy to use for the largest possible spectrum of users. In the case of OXO, it means designing products for young and old, male and female, left- and right- handed and many with special needs. These ergonomically- designed, trans-generational tools set a new standard for the industry and raised the bar of consumer expectation for comfort and performance.

The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip, flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably, the pressure-absorbing, processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while still providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro
