I'm not sure if ours was a fluke, bad shipping, or what, but it broke immediately. The hinge on the side of the scooper, that holds together the two parts just keeps coming apart. I believe that if it worked properly it would be great, but since I have to manually (gross) fix it after every scoop or two, it's not doing me any favors.This style is great and really helpful for getting in there without having to get too close. I do recommend this type of picker-upper.See full review
