If we were to tell you a vegetable chopper could change your life, you might (understandably) laugh at us. But if the thought of prepping produce is enough to make you order takeout most nights, we’d argue there’s an Amazon top-seller that’ll take the headache out of your culinary quests. What sets the Fullstar Vegetable Chopper apart? Unlike gizmos where you have to keep pulling a string to slice your veggies, this gives you a uniform dice in one fell swoop, for starters. Plus, it comes with four interchangeable blades in case you want to switch up the shape of your produce. Most enticing, however? Its price has been slashed by nearly 50% to just $26, down from $50.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

This is the lowest price we’ve seen for this gadget since September. When you consider the amount of time and effort it’ll save you, that’s pretty priceless. Sure, there are other choppers on the market, but this has over 92,000 five-star ratings to back it up. (It’s also available in five colors, though note that prices vary.)

Why do I need this? 🤔

Onions make you cry? That’ll be a thing of the past when it’s chopped in 30 seconds flat. Get hand fatigue when you’re chopping your mirepoix? Get it done, lickety-split. With this vegetable chopper, what used to take a considerable amount of time now takes seconds.

Place your vegetable of choice over one of the dice blades fitted to the chopper (it comes with one large and one small), press the lever down and bam: You’ll have perfectly cubed produce that falls right into the attached storage container, keeping messes off your counter. You’ll want to make sure your vegetable is trimmed small enough to fit over the blade, but that’s so much easier than having to cut up the entire thing.

In addition to a dicing blade, the Fullstar comes with spiral and ribbon blades (zoodles, anyone?) and there’s a finger guard to help protect against painful nicks and cuts. Speaking of pain, this chopper is suitable for anyone with arthritis or weak hands because it takes a lot of the effort out of slicing and dicing. The soft-grip handle and nonslip base also offer more stability.

Cleaning is pretty convenient too, since the chopper can be disassembled and placed on the top rack of your dishwasher. You’ll also get a cleaning brush and two cleaning scrapers to help scrub residue from the corners of the blades, but use caution — they’re sharper than they look.

What reviewers say 💬

Amazon customers aplenty — over 92,000(!) — are smitten with this kitchen helper, and over 20,000 were bought in the past month. That’s a lot of healthy eating!

Pros 👍

“Impressive!” said one happy home cook. “It makes chopping up small veggies like baby carrots, onions and celery a breeze! I’m a senior now with arthritis, and this really helps speed things up in the kitchen while giving my achy hands and fingers a break from the rigors of manually chopping up everything.”

“Where have you been all my life?” mused another satisfied shopper. “I hate chopping fruit and vegetables, but I like to make my own food … I am so impressed with the performance. I chopped 1.5 pounds of carrots, one apple and one small onion in no time for ginger carrot soup … I was eating that soup by the time it would have normally taken to chop all those ingredients by hand.”

“How did we live without this?” wrote a five-star fan. “Makes cutting up more veggies and fruit so easy. No more tears with onions or dealing with sharp knives. Washes well in the dishwasher and is compact enough to store.”

Cons 👎

Some reviewers noted that de-gunking the blades can be tricky. “My only complaint is it is not super easy to clean, and the blades are extremely sharp, so you need to be careful,” wrote one. “If you clean it immediately after use with a spray faucet and use the brush that comes with it, it certainly helps.”

Several buyers had the same complaint as this user, who wrote, “I wish the top locked into the base so that you didn’t have to hold them together. It’s just a little cumbersome.” That said, they also called it “amazing for meal prep.”

How about some freshly minced garlic to go with those veggies? Amazon shoppers love this rolling Chef’n GarlicZoom.
