I am amazed at how this scoop speeds up the cookie baking process ! I love it! The dough comes out with ease. You won't regret having this handy scoop in your utensil drawer! the cookies look just like bakery cookies, perfectly shaped !

I wanted a 3 tablespoon scoop so I took a chance and like others have said, this is what it is. The new packaging even lists this model 678 as 3Tbsp / 45ml / 1.50z on the back.
Works great as a cookie scoop.

I needed an icecream scoop and this scoop looked very nice in the store. The entire scoop is made of stainless steel and looks impressive. Being an engineer I thought the rack and pinion gears at the bottom of the handle connected directly to the bowl sweeper was a great design that would allow the user to directly apply maximum pressure to dislodge whatever you are scooping. But it turned out to be horribly flawed when scooping icecream (.
When you are scooping hard icecream the sweeper blade will get stuck in the bowl. If you squeeze the handle with any serous pressure the pinion gear will start to strip and then the rack and pinion gears will skip a tooth. Not only is your icecream still stuck in the bowl but now the sweeper blade doesn't align correctly with the side of the bowl. And it is a pain to re-mesh the rack and pinion correctly.
Another flaw in the design is that there is no way get a good grip on the handle without squeezing the two sides together. That means the sweeper blade will get stuck under a scoop of icecream in the middle of the bowl and the spring is not strong enough to pull it back to the home position. Also if the very top of the scoop pushes against the icecream the top end of the sweeper blade will pop out of it's bearing hole. Then if you squeeze the handle the sweeper blade will bend and deform. You have to bend it back into shape by hand.
All of this contributes to a very frustrating experience trying to scoop a bowl of icecream

ETA: Regarding the review above claiming a "horribly" "flawed design": There is no design flaw, only an unrealistic expectation. No one should ever use any sweeper scoop to dish HARD ice cream, They're not engineered for that. If I need to dish HARD ice cream (I make my own and it rarely freezes to HARD), I use a Zeroll Original 3-Ounce Aluminum Ice Cream Scoop and would heartily recommend it.

I came to these Norpo scoops (I have three: a Norpro 35 mm Stainless Steel Scoop (one tablespoon), this one (three tablespoons) and a Norpro 56mm Stainless Steel Scoop (four tablespoons) recently, in September, 2009, after a bad experience with the Oxo Good Grips Trigger Ice Cream Scoop. I really like them. Very well made. Coming from the OXO it's sort of like the difference in closing a door on a Benz and a Ugo.
However, now I need to look for a TWO tablespoon scoop because this really (with all due deference to D. Evans) does hold three, and it's immaterial whether it's water or grains of salt, 2009 or any other year.
ETA: In looking for a real 2 tablespoon model online today, I came across a vendor who claims to have one that "holds PRECISELY 2 tablespoons of your favorite ice cream, cookie dough, melons, chicken or potato salad..." (Emphasis added.) Unfortunately, it's the same model as this one, a Norpro #678. So much for precision. I'm not having much luck finding what I need so, a shout-out to Norpro: Label this one correctly as a three tablespoon and make a real two tablespoon model.
ETA: I ordered the Norpro 39mm Stainless Steel Scoop and I'm making a guess it will hold two tablespoons.
ETA: It doesn't. It holds almost, but not quite, two tablespoons.

My disher is most certainly 2 tablespoons, so take all the old reviews of it being 3 in reality with a grain of salt.
The reality is this is a #24 disher, of solid 18/10 stainless construction. It is a fine tool if not a bit tough to clean in places.
Enjoy your dishing!
