KitchenAid Classic Ice Cream Scoop vs OXO Good Grips Steel Lever Ice Cream Scoop

Buy the OXO if you scoop hard, deep-frozen ice cream often; its squeeze lever does the work for you. Buy the KitchenAid if you want a simple, sturdy dipper that feels solid in the hand and is easy to clean. The KitchenAid is a fixed scoop with sharply contoured edges and a weighted handle, rated 4.7 from 75 ratings. The OXO's spring-loaded lever is the easier tool for stiff tubs and for anyone with weak grip.

• Choose the KitchenAid Classic if you want a no-moving-parts dipper with a weighted handle and contoured edges that cut through firm ice cream.
• Choose the OXO Good Grips Steel Lever if you scoop hard ice cream regularly or have hand or wrist pain and want the lever to do the pressing.
