Customers say
Customers find the swivel soup spoon particularly helpful for those with Parkinson’s disease. However, the functionality and swivel quality receive mixed feedback – while some say it works great for their mothers, others report it doesn’t work for tremors and the spoon moves too freely. Moreover, the product is criticized for being flimsy, coming apart after first use, and being too small, holding only one measuring teaspoon of liquid. Additionally, customers find it frustrating to use and consider it overpriced.

Yes, yes, oh yes!
This spork was and is the perfect utensil for my son who has dexterity and some motor skills issues. While I have had this spork for quite a bit of time, it still moves and swivels like the day it arrived.I feel this would be amazing for kids and adults alike that have fine motor skills, dexterity, or other issues that could hinder them from eating with normal utensils.

Do not buy
There is a reason that there are no good videos showing this spoon in use. It is because it does not work at all. Even for an able-bodied cognitively normal person, this does not work well. We were very hopeful, and then very disappointed. Sending it back immediately.

Not as easy as expected
I bought this for one of my clients who struggle with coordination due to arthritis. The swinging spoon is a good idea but it seems awkward for her to use. It had a strap that is hard to get on the spoon

Did not work for us
Was a bit disappointed with this. The bowl of the spoon is very shallow and seems to tip downward. Bought this for my dad who was having trouble feeding himself. It did not work for him. Perhaps this was not appropriate for his situation. No diagnosis of Parkinson/s. Just poor coordination and some trembling due to old age (99).

An amazing product
My wife has M.S. with the associated tremor in her hands. I am amazed how much these utensils help. The extra weight dampens out the tremors and allows her to eat without getting frustrated. I wash them by hand even though they can go in the dish washer, and I am probably going to get a second set for her.

Came apart after first use.
This spoon worked great the first time it was used. However, it came apart right after the first washing. Very disappointed in the quality. It is a great concept, but certainly needs significantly more work. Not at all worth the money. As a therapist I’ve used this brand many other times. Highly disappointed!

Dislike
The spoon handle is too short and the spoon needs to be a little bigger and deeper. My husband cannot use it.

FLIMZY and shallow
The shallow spoon doesn’t hold much. I bought this for my mother with the shakes…… because the shallowness of the spoon, food sloshes out easily. It’s a cheap design for the money

This product works well now that it was repaired.

It was a really big spoon and only rotates a 1/4 of the way each way. It’s different then in the picture I wish it was like the one in the picture it’s really good for a full grown adult
