Many people say the scoop that comes with it isn't great. If I want to use a different scoop, what is the widest one that would fit?

Yes. The scoop holes are rather large, so soe of what you want to remove falls back in the box. The scoop needs to be t5 inches wide or less.

Any regular size scoop easily fits, I replaced ours a few times and never had a problem.

I use s scoop from pet store and turn it sideways. The original scoop's holes are too big.

The scoop is very large, however you can change it with any other: the important thing is that it has a long handle.

The scoop that comes with this "Pet Scoopy" is small. I put a larger one in that is about 5 inches across and deeper. I had a hard time getting it in at first, but now I know just the right angle to get it in. You have to put it in at the widest part of the Scoopy, but I've made it work. Much better with the bigger scoop.

you can use any scoop. They pretty much the same size. but I'm okay with original. Also I have so many compliments from every one who come to my house it`s look unusual.

It's big enough. I was useing my own scoop an I had no problem but then I started useing the one it came with cause the holes where smaller an I feel like it gets more if you know what I mean.

Largest scoop is 2 inches across. The middle scoop is one and half inches. The smallest scoop is just under an inch and a half. I bought these for making cookies and I use the middle one the most. Great size for cookies.

I didn't get a scoop either, it just arrived. Can someone who has a scoop measure and tell us scoop-less folks how big it is? How many ounces? Teaspoon size or Tablespoon size? any info would be helpful!

This one might be a bit small. But beware, stuff sticks to the scoop and it's hard to scoop nice little shapes. I returned mine. What we need would be a nonstick one.

I tried this system, and don't really like it as the scoop is too small, as is the opening through which you must dump the clumps into the bin is small. I find that I spend twice as much time cleaning the litter boxes as the scoop is too small. If you don't mind the extra time scooping, and perhaps breaking up the larger clumps, then this system might be fine.

I am sorry I can't provide direct answers your questions, but want to share my experience with measurements with this maker. I hated the included spoon and cannot find it in my kitchen. I do believe after its first use it found its way into a donation pile. I have an INOX cookie scoop numbered 110 that I bought at a hardware store. The tiny size is hard to locate. If ever you find it, it's perfect for this maker as it is a level teaspoon. My batter for pizzelles in this maker for each circle is 1 teaspoon without a lot of overhanging edge. Before the scoop, I used two regular spoons to eyeball the size and ball up the dough. Good luck with your batches!

Not super wide. Scoop area is 1/2" wide and the straw part is almost 1/4", but a little less.

Mine contained a flat scoop that is probably about a cup measure. It has a small flimsy handle but I am not using it daily so am not worried by it.

It's flat. You could probably use any scooper with this--the scooper is fine, but it's the holder that is worth it.

I am sorry. I don't make truffles, so I am not able to provide a definitive answer. I do eat truffles, though, and I think the scoop I use (1.5 tablespoon size) is exactly right for the ones I enjoy. Looks like that's the medium scoop.

I have two medium size dogs and I bought the large scooper. I think I would get the large if I had a large dog.

I think the shape is more like a canelle. The cookie scoops have a release and this does not, so not much better than using a spoon. So I wouldn't buy it for that purpose. As said, great ice cream scoop!

The opening is big enough for an average size scoop to fit. Like a cup size measuring cup. Hope that makes sense.

probably the small. The sizing is different from others I have purchased. I have med. and large and they are very big scoops! Hope that helps!!

You need to look again. The number four refers to the quantity (4 scoops), not the size of the scoop. There is only one size of this scoop (22 inches wide).
1493091
Total length of the scoop including handle=13"; length of handle from end of scoop=7"; scoop itself (up to where handle starts) 5 3/4" long, 5 1/2" wide, depth (at midpoint)=1 1/2". I have a jumbo-size litter box; users who found it difficult to use may have smaller ones. Hope this helps.
