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.

  • 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.

Mueller Pro-Series

10-in-1 set, 8 interchangeable blades

Best for
Fast onion and pepper prep, batch pico de gallo
Mechanism
Press-down grid with 8 swappable blades

Why it ranks here. Fullstar's closest rival, compared against it in every head-to-head, with the widest set of blades here covering slicing, dicing and grating in one box. New owners are quickly pleased, chopping onions and peppers super quick, and one batches pico de gallo for several meals at a time.

The pusher plate cannot be removed, so juice pools behind it and can mould; older models let you take it out. One buyer with arthritis could not get the pieces together and calls it a waste of money. Vegetables still need pre-cutting to fit the small grid, the grater looks like a lot of trouble for nothing, and the company does not reply about its older model.

What owners like

  • Widest blade set
  • Quick on onions and peppers
  • Cheap

What owners complain about

  • Pusher plate traps juice and moulds
  • Hard on weak hands
  • Still needs pre-cutting

  • The Mueller Pro-Series feels sturdy and well-built. The sharp blades are made from high-quality stainless steel, which means they stay sharp longer and cut cleanly... Before getting this chopper, meal prep used to feel like a chore, taking up so much time. Now, I can whip up salads or side dishes in half the time!

  • You have just sold me one of these. I've watched several vids on choppers today and you were the only one I watched fully. You are concise with good verbiage and it's apparent you used this before you made the video. Nothings worse than realizing the person doesn't know what they're doing.

  • Big design flaw is that the pusher cannot be removed. It has a spacing behind it that makes it easy for juice to get trapped in and cause mold. Thats why older models had a way to remove it

  • Thank you. After struggling to get the pieces together w/my arthritis and watching your content, I agree. This is more trouble than it's worth considering the results. Waste of $30. I'll look for something else. Thank you

Sturdiest, still small

OXO Good Grips

Easy-Pour opening model

Best for
A trusted brand with minimal blade handling
Mechanism
Press-chop with an easy-pour storage container

Why it ranks here. The name people reach for when they want something sturdier than the generic Amazon choppers: it held up in a deliberately rough review, the pour-spout container makes emptying easier, the base comes off so you can chop straight onto a board, and buyers trust the brand not to make them handle loose blades.

The detractors are blunt: it does not chop uniformly, is messy to empty and clean, and has too small a capacity, so you chop the vegetables before you chop the vegetables. It is a one-trick pony to some at any price, and the price varies widely from shop to shop.

What owners like

  • Sturdy, trusted brand
  • Pour spout, removable base
  • Few loose blades

What owners complain about

  • Small
  • Uneven chop, messy
  • Price varies

  • I still do use a chef's knife for 90% of my vegetable chopping needs, but my girlfriend prefers to use the Oxo chopper... Also for reference the Oxo one should range between $20 and $30. You can find options reliably on Amazon and at Target.

  • this thing is a P.O.S. If you have no knife skills or no decent knife, well, maybe OK. It doesn't chop uniformly, is messy to empty and clean up, has too small a capacity for most uses I might have. My advice: avoid.

Best for
Proof a chopper can last well over a decade
Mechanism
Press-down lid over a fixed grid, with a cleaning comb

Why it ranks here. The original As Seen On TV chopper, with the longest owner history of any product here: one owner for at least eighteen years rates it ten out of ten, a couple have used theirs since 2006 and keep a spare, and another has made several thousand chops without anything breaking. It is bigger than the newer NutriChopper and does not pinch your hand.

The plastic feet can push through the base under heavy pressure; one owner had two break that way, leaving shards of hard plastic in the food. Onion sticks in the grid and takes forever to clean unless you use the comb to lift rather than scrape, celery takes real force, and the container is too small for fries.

What owners like

  • Owners since 2006
  • Bigger grid than rivals
  • Comb clears the grid

What owners complain about

  • Feet can break through the base
  • Onion clogs the grid
  • Small container

  • I've had mine at least a couple years and probably made at least several thousand chops with it. I almost exclusively use the finer grate which requires more pressure to chop, and nothing has broken so far. I use it to prepare large batches of stir-fry and it saves me tons of time.

  • This is one of my most used kitchen gadgets. Regardless of what you have read, it is very easy to clean if you know how. I disagree with this video in one regard-cleaning the prongs with the little curved tool... Instead used the curved part to get under the food and push the tool upward as you go down the line. Gets out every bit of the food!

Best for portability

Brieftons Manual Chopper

Pull-cord rotary blade, 3-cup bowl

Best for
Camping, tiny kitchens and quick pulses
Mechanism
Pull-cord rotary blade inside a bowl

Why it ranks here. Works differently: a pull cord spins a blade inside a bowl, like a mini salad spinner, and its demo video has over a million views. Campers love it for being light and easy, onions come out tearless, cauliflower rice comes out perfect, and one owner's five-year-old helps with the vegetables.

The cord is the doubt: a chef asks how you replace it after it breaks, and it will, and one owner switched to a crank-style chopper because strings eventually snap. It is limited in what it can cut, and the three-cup bowl suits quick batches rather than bulk prep.

What owners like

  • Light, great for camping
  • Tearless onions
  • Simple enough for a child

What owners complain about

  • Cord will eventually snap
  • Limited cuts
  • Small bowl

Frequently asked questions

Do I still have to cut vegetables before using a chopper?

Yes, since every grid chopper has a grid about the size of a Post-it note, so onions need quartering first.

Why does my chopper get stuck?

A slow press jams it, a hard slam works, and garlic never works.

Which chopper lasts?

The Vidalia, with owners since 2006, though its feet can push through the base, and pull-cord choppers wear out the cord.
