We see more salads, soups and salsas in your future, thanks to this time- and energy-saving veggie chopper. (Amazon)(Amazon)
If we were to tell you a vegetable chopper could change your life, you might (understandably) laugh in our faces. But if the thought of prepping produce is enough to make you order takeout most nights of the week, we'd argue there's one Amazon top-seller — as in, more than 30,000 were purchased in the past month alone — 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 to just $27, nearly 50% off.
Want to start your evenings on the right foot, er, head? You'd be wise to snag this popular pair while it's nearly 80% off. Filled with a lofty down alternative stuffing, these plush pillows are moisture-wicking and promote airflow for a more comfortable slumber. They're also machine washable!
Handy humans, this one's for you: With a powerful drill and impact driver in this set, you'll finally be able to cross all of those home-improvement tasks off your list. The compact, lightweight design makes them easy to use, and the best part? No cords!
Yard in need of some heavy-duty pruning? This small but mighty chainsaw is powerful enough to take down tree branches, yet weighs under 2.5 pounds. Plus, this top-seller is cordless for even more convenience.
One Yahoo editor gave it a try, writing, "While testing the Saker, I first noticed that it was very easy to hold in one hand. I also appreciated the safety features, including a safety lock that must be pressed before the saw activates. This gave me some comfort that it wouldn't just 'go off' if I squeezed it too tight while walking between locations. It's also easier to use than something like pruning shears, which can be heavy and unwieldy and take much longer to get the same job done."

Allow this high-tech gizmo to take all the guesswork out of grilling, roasting and baking by letting you know the internal and external temperatures of the foods you're preparing.

Like all of Our Place's cookware, this nonstick pan is made without "forever chemicals" for peace of mind. This skillet, however, also boasts an aluminum core for excellent heat conductivity, as well as a strong titanium interior. The handle doubles as a resting spot for an included wooden spatula, and at just 3.4 pounds, it's quite light compared to other metal cookware. At nearly 40% off, this is as low as we've ever seen it.
This little space-saver corrals all your dish-cleaning accouterment in one spot to keep your counter and sink clear of clutter.
For a few dollars more, you can also get it in gray/green or this sleek black.
If garlic is a staple ingredient in your cooking, you'll use this all the time — not only does it make easy work of chopping up multiple cloves at a time, it'll also help prevent smelly fingers!
"So far, I have really enjoyed using this handy little tool," wrote a satisfied user. "With its sturdy design, it's proven to be quite the workhorse in my kitchen. The compact size is a real space-saver, fitting snugly within my cluttered drawers. The best part? It's remarkably easy to use. No more wrestling with awkward tools or worrying about nicking my fingers."
The discount plus on-page coupon brings the Fullstar close to its lowest price all year and close to half off. And 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 one has tens of thousands of glowing reviews to back it up.
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.
Amazon customers aplenty — over 85,000(!) — are smitten with this kitchen helper.
"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."
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."
