   I actually already had the small scoop and the large scoop by OXO and just recently ordered this in the medium scoop from Amazon. These are very well made and my others have lasted years.
   
   The small one makes perfect tea cookies or melon balls for fruit salad. The large one is great for ice cream scooping or 4 to 5" lg mega cookies such as whoopie pies, and the medium is a perfect normal sized cookie scooper.
   
   The spring mechanism works smoothly and we use these often and wash in the dishwasher each time. They have held up with no issues and make baking and other kitchen scooping faster and less messy.
   
   No negatives...we've had no problems with ours.
   
   As an aside, I did find the large size at TJ Maxx for a couple bucks less. But then again, I paid tax so it probably winds up almost the same as Amazon. But if you need some in a pinch and need them fast, they often carry OXO.

   Although it may not be something everyone thinks about, the tension on this scoop is perfect. I have small, weak hands, and this scoop is very easy for me to use while still maintaining perfect tension. It releases dough/batter easily every time, no matter how hard or sticky. Worth every penny.

   I bought this scoop on the recommendation of [...], which recommended this scoop for scooping muffin batter into the muffin tin. Not only does it work great for muffin batter, it's works great for scooping cookie batter onto the cookie sheet. I used to use a large spoon and my fingers for that task -- no longer! I sprayed the scoop very lightly with Pam before using it with oatmeal cookie dough and the scoop of dough came out perfectly each time, in the right size and without the mess that having to use my hand to form the dough used to make.

4. Great for truffles

   I bought this because I was sick and tired of forming ganache balls for truffles with teaspoons. I wanted something that would form a reasonable ball of refrigerated ganache and then eject it, and this did the trick. When it goes through the dishwasher I have to give it a little extra drying with a paper towel if I want to use it right away, because it doesn't always clean perfectly behind the ejector, but I love this thing. Sturdy and convenient. Additionally, it's a nice size for truffles--this would work for creating either uncovered truffles, or centers for chocolate-dipped truffles.
   
   EDITED TO ADD: I used this on an unintentionally harder-than-usual ganache (directly out of the fridge), with unfortunate results; the metal piece that ejects the ball warped. It still functions, but it ain't pretty. I knocked two stars off for fragility.

   I'm not much of a baker, but this scoop helped me make perfect cookies. I leveled the scoop off and every cookie was uniform and baked evenly. I'm ordering the other sizes right now for meatballs and bigger cookies. The medium is a perfect size for sugar cookies.
