- Press-and-slam grid with interchangeable blade inserts
Why it ranks here. Fullstar is the most searched, most watched and most discussed chopper on the market, and the brand people name unprompted in Reddit cooking threads. It has the largest pool of detailed owner feedback of any product here, both glowing and pointed.
Owners use it for salsa, pico de gallo, chopped salad and canning tomatoes by the bushel. One calls it 'best purchase ever'↗, another, after a drawer of failed gadgets, 'the first chopper that actually works'↗. The technique matters: 'smacking it makes it work'↗, a slow press does not. The recurring complaint is size. 'The blade grid opening on this is exactly as big as a Post-It note'↗, so an onion has to be quartered first, and three viewers decided after watching the prep that a knife and board is less work. Garlic smears rather than dices, and the blade organiser takes 'soooo long'↗ to work out.
What owners like
- The most discussed chopper in the category by far, and owners still recommend it years after buying
- Once you learn the trick, a hard slam rather than a slow press, it tears through tomatoes, onions and peppers: 'smacking it makes it work'↗
- One owner with a drawer of failed gadgets calls it 'the first chopper that actually works'↗
What owners complain about
- The grid is small: 'exactly as big as a Post-It note'↗, so onions and potatoes need quartering first
- Garlic smears into a paste instead of dicing
- The many blade inserts are fiddly to sort and store

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 😂😂
