Vollrath 47160 #70 Round Stainless Steel Squeeze Handle Disher - 0.5 oz.

I selected these in the hopes that I could get a quality disher that wouldn't need to be replaced in short order, but these are awful. The mechanism constantly gets stuck and even when it does work the handle pinches gloves and hands. I acquired these to accommodate my left-handed staff but they opt to use the dishers made for right-handed folks as it's easier to use their non-dominant hand than to deal with these tools. Do not recommend.

I have other sizes of this disher that works great but this size not so much. Was used for cupcake batter but would get stuck while using it. Got a replacement and had the same problem so buying a different brand now.

Works as intended but seems like quality has dropped off lately

These work great, especially for making small candies. Buckeyes and other small treats need a tiny scoop like this to perfectly round them.

I love the size of this scoop. It's perfect for big cookies. It is not great for more stiff cookie doughs, however, and the gear jumped in the first 50 cookies I scooped with it.

We used to just use regular spoons to form cookie balls, and that was tedious and tiring. This scoop has cut down drastically on time and effort required, thus increasing our production. Great product, durable, easy to clean. We ordered two sizes and are happy with both of them.

Nice disher, perfect size for a standard muffin pan. I like that the ejector shaft is inserted through a hold in the scoop rather than in a notch like some types, so the shaft doesn't pop out when being used on stiff dough or ice cream. Fit and finish is excellent, no jagged edges and everything seems nicely polished. Precision is good so very little food remains in the disher after cycling.

I was using this item to scoop cupcake batter and right from the start it was hard to push the handle in order to get the dough to come out. The scoop broke after using it twice.

The Volrath stainless steel dishers provide good quality at a reasonable price. The action of the dishing mechanism is smooth. Be careful not to pinch your hand where the handles come together at the bottom of the handle. These handles are not, of course, color-coded – a nice feature available on the plastic-handled scoops.

Awful. Expected more from Vollrath. Bar on scoop does not extend fully, therefore it doesn’t release our cookie dough.we love the thumb release ones from Vollrath, but needed a ambidextrous one.

Very nice scoop, we use ours to scoop cookie dough and it's durable enough for that. Much better than the plastic handle ones, which can bend or fall apart if trying to scoop a stiffer dough. So far no problems with this.

Very disappointed in Volrath. I have older dishers of theirs that are much better quality. This #24 broke on the first try scooping cookie dough. I need uniformity in cookie size because my customers expect it. Will have to check other options for achieving this now.

I purchased this for home use as Vollrath is a trusted brand and this is all stainless. The quality is there, but it is made in China :( I would inquire about the color coded handle scoopers for my next purchase to see if they’re made here.

Nice portion scoop. It works well for meatballs & other solids. Not our favorite for scooping whipped butter, however, this scoop is a dream to use.

I bought this for scooping out ground meat portions for patties. It works well and is durable. It is easy to clean, the handle doesn’t have excessive crevices food funk can get into.

This scoop is very well made. We use it for mostly for chicken salad but it works great for mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese as well.

We use this small scoop for butter, as shown in the photo here. It works great for that, although it sometimes pinches your skin. But good for what we use this for. Machine washable too.

I love this scoop. I’m left handed and I’ve found that most scoopers are for right handed people. I love that I don’t have to switch hands when I’m scooping out my cookie dough.

I love this brand! Super sturdy and the variety of sizes is great. This 0.5 oz scoop is perfect for scooping harder cookie doughs and truffle mixtures. The handle design is also ideal for long sessions. Much better than the thumb pressers.

This disher is the perfect size for cookie dough, which is mainly what I use it for. The mechanism functions well, its easy to clean and it gets all of what you're scooping out in one squeeze.

This originally came damaged. Was sent a new one w/ no charge. I like these scoops as i am left handed and they are much easier for me to use. Especially with carpal tunnel and tendinitis!!

I had purchased the cheaper disher in the past and the product lasted about one year. I decided to upgrade to this dishes thinking I could get a longer life from it. The Vollrath 47152 #12 lasted about 2 weeks before it came apart. I was not using hard products such as ice cream but I was using it multiple times a day. I will not be ordering any more of these.

The gold standard for dishers. Vollrath tries to make it out of one piece of metal with as few seams as possible, and that helps keep it clean- though you can still get food stuck inside parts that are difficult to clean. Also, while it's sturdy and simple, it is possible to jam it if you're going hog wild.

I needed a 2.75 oz. scoop to make all of milk bar cookie recipes. I have made three of the one chefs cookie recipes now and they all require this very large scoop to dish out the cookies. I used this scoop for the first time yesterday and I really liked it, however, I did accidentally pinch myself with the handle while scooping. It hurt like the dickens so I'll have to be careful in the future. I'm giving the scoop 4 stars since the pinching issue might become a problem. Other than that, I really appreciated the weight of the scoop. I own other products by Vollrath and they have quality products.

Love this ice cream scoop. I'd gotten sick of my store bought ice cream scoops breaking on me, or sticking during release. This scoop makes the perfect size balls to put onto cones. The ice cream releases very easily and the scoop seems well crafted. Sure, its more expensive, but it will probably last longer
