OXO Good Grips Flexible Scoop

Great for bottom freezers with the ice tray. Eliminates kids/adults using their dirty hands to grab ice. Small enough in size to not obstruct anything and just sit in the ice. Flexes fine too so you don’t miss with the cubes while dumping.

I recently bought a pebble ice maker and all of its reviews said the metal ice scooper it came with will scratch the plastic ice bin. After looking at various plastic scoops, I choose this one. Oxo is a well known brand, and I have always been happy with their other kitchen utensils which I have purchased in the past. The scoop is a good size, a little on the smaller size but not too small. It fits into the ice bin well and scoops out a good amount of ice each time. It feels sturdy, and is easy to clean. I haven't put it in the dishwasher yet, but it is advertised as dishwasher safe. After I clean up the ice maker, the scoop fits in the bin which makes it handy to store. I have small hands and the handle is a little short even for me. If you have large hands, it might be a little awkward to use. I like it!

Update on September 28, 2016: It's been a year and this scoop is still going strong. I've been using it in my freezer for ice and it works great. I've since bought another one that I use for flour, and it's good too, though it doesn't see nearly as much use or stress as my ice scoop. This is a great product. Original Review: Originally, I was hesitant to purchase this scoop for ice, when there were similarly priced metal scoops available. After all, I thought, isn't metal better than plastic? Plus, this scoop has an odd egg-like shape, different from how ice scoops usually look. There's no need to reinvent the wheel! I just needed a regular old ice scoop. However, after reading the reviews for the metal scoops, the cheap ones all seem to have quality problems (perhaps that's not surprising; how can you sell a good metal scoop for $5 or $6?). Unlike the cheap metal scoops, this one has spectacular reviews. I decided to trust my previous reviewers and buy it. I'm glad I did! The quality of this scoop is great and I totally love it! Pros: 1) The scoop's egg-like shape is because it's narrow at the end and curved in such a way that it can actually be poured with quite a bit of precision. The scoop's end easily fits inside of drinking glasses, so there's never any ice on the floor. If you're using it for something different, like rice or flour, I think you'll also appreciate the more precise pours you can make with this scoop, compared to a typical wide-mouthed scoop. 2) The scoop holds approximately one cup. When used for ice, a full scoop usually gives me exactly the amount I want in a large 21 oz. glass. I use a lot of ice in my drinks, so it's likely most people using this as an ice scoop will never need more than one scoopful in their beverages. 3) The plastic is smooth and the handle feels nice in my hand. 4) Since it's plastic, it can be left in the freezer or an ice bucket without getting uncomfortably cold to touch. 5) It's BPA free (I don't see anything about this on the Amazon listing, but OXO says it's BPA free on their website). Cons: I can think of no cons for this product. I've only been using it for a month so far, so I'll update my review if I encounter any problems with durability. I love this scoop and would recommend it to anyone.

We use this in our freezer for scooping ice. It’s superior to the rigid scoop that came with our bottom freezer ice maker. This is sturdy enough to break up the ice well while remaining flexible enough to help dump the ice into various size water bottles and glasses easily. Since it will not rust we let it rest in the corner of the ice bin in the freezer to keep it handy. Easy to clean, just pop in the dishwasher. Definitely have gotten our moneys worth since the scoop still looks brand new after heavy daily use for over 4 months already.

Works well - perfect size for ice bin in freezer, love the flexible sides.

I was genuinely impressed by how useful the OXO Good Grips Flexible Scoop is. The material has the right amount of flex, so it glides smoothly into corners and odd-shaped bags. I keep mine stored in the freezer, and it holds up perfectly without becoming brittle or stiff. It works great for scooping ice, flour, kibble, frozen fruit, or anything that needs a quick, clean transfer. The grip feels secure even with cold hands, and the scoop rinses clean with almost no effort. After using it for a while, I can see why people recommend it so highly. It is one of those simple tools that ends up being far more convenient than expected. If you want a reliable, flexible scoop that handles both pantry and freezer tasks with ease, this one is absolutely worth picking up.

Nice, great size

This seemingly simple tool has proven to be incredibly versatile and effective, easily earning a full 5-star rating. What I love most about this scoop is its perfect balance of rigidity and flexibility. The sturdy handle provides a comfortable and secure grip, allowing for excellent control when dealing with ice.
