- Best for
- Salsa, pico de gallo and batch-dicing
- Mechanism
- Press-and-slam grid with interchangeable blade inserts
Why it ranks here. The most searched, most watched and most discussed chopper on the market, and the brand people name unprompted in Reddit cooking threads. Owners use it for salsa, chopped salad and canning tomatoes by the bushel, one calls it the best purchase ever, and another with a drawer of failed gadgets calls it the first chopper that actually works. The trick is a hard slam, not a slow press.
The grid is only as big as a Post-it note, so onions and potatoes need quartering first, and three viewers decided after watching the prep that a knife and board is less work. Garlic smears into paste instead of dicing, and the many blade inserts are fiddly to sort and store.
What owners like
- The one everyone recommends
- Tears through salsa vegetables
- Works when others failed
What owners complain about
- Small grid, pre-cut everything
- Garlic turns to paste
- Fiddly blade storage

This Fullstar chopper is best purchase ever! I make my chopped salad and pico de gallo at least twice a week, and this makes it a breeze. I smile every time I use it. Works great on tomatoes even

I picked a Fullstar model and it feels like a good quality product. It had an enormous number of reviews, but you’d have to ¼ an onion just to dice it and I’d rather have something larger. The blade grid opening on this is exactly as big as a Post-It note.

If you're looking for a versatile option, the Mueller Pro-Series and Fullstar Vegetable Chopper are both popular choices for handling a variety of tasks, especially dicing vegetables and speeding up meal prep.

Thank you for this excellent review and demonstration. With all the cutting and prep of the veggies beforehand, it's convinced me that I really don't need one of these in my life. If I have to do all that prep, I'd just as soon as keep on going and chop it on the board. One board to clean, one knife to clean. Not countless little pieces with extremely dangerous blades. Thank you for helping me make my decision.

I just bought one for me,one for the son..I love it! No issues, slam away and enjoy

Thanks for the video! I've had mine for a few years now. I bought it primarily for dicing tomatoes for canning. It's definitely much quicker when you're doing a bushel at a time. I just tried it with some peppers and onions for salsa and smacking it makes it work! I was always just trying to press, which did not. Thank-you! 👍

I used it on onion and it was great as no tears shed, but dang did nothing to the garlic but make it stick/shmush on the cutter. I'm thinking next time to sandwich the garlic between the onion and see if I can fool this machine.

Wow! This review is incredible. I bought one a day ago and this convinced me to return it. Watching you use the spiralizer gave me anxiety. I thought your fingers were going to get cut. Way too much work and plastic parts. I thought it would be a cleaner way to make salads but you still have to use a cutting board and prep.

i love mine so much. i just wish they mentioned somewhere the order that the blades go into the blade organizer because i spent soooo long trying to put them all away lol

I cut Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise, place cut edge down on the blades with skin side up (unpeeled). Close the top and take one BIG WHAMO! and the tomato cubes perfectly.

thank you for helping me avoid the trouble of ordering through amazon, test it and return it the next day. There's absolutely no way I'd peel and slice my tomato's just to prep them for this thing 😂😂
