We see more salads, soups and salsas in your future, thanks to this time- and energy-saving veggie chopper. (Amazon)(Amazon)
A vegetable chopper must be doing something right to attract nearly 80,000 five-star ratings on Amazon. So what sets this No. 1 bestselling Fullstar 4-In-1 Vegetable Chopper apart? Unlike choppers where you have to keep pulling a string to slice your veggies, this gizmo gives you a uniform dice in one fell swoop. Plus, it comes with four interchangeable blades if you want to switch up the shape of your produce. Even better? It's marked down to $25 (from $50) for Amazon Prime members.
This handy little particle picker-upper is ideal for stashing in the car, so you'll always have a way to clean up those fast-food crumbs. It weighs just over a pound, making it easy to reach higher surfaces, and since it's battery-powered, you won't have to deal with annoying cords. It's also 80% off.
Faster food, cooler kitchen — this compact cooker is a no-brainer, especially during the warmer months when turning on your oven is the last thing you want to do. I've used it for everything from cakes and brownies to baked pasta and even roasted tofu and vegetables. It heats up in no time, plus it can fit a decent amount of food: six slices of toast, a 12-inch pizza or even a 4-pound chicken. The LED display has six functions: Toast, Bagel, Bake, Broil, Keep Warm and Reheat, and I'm positive it'll be getting a ton of use this summer. This is as low as it's been all year!

This No. 1 bestseller is over 60% off — one of its lowest prices ever — and comes with just about every type of blade a home cook could need. Henckels has been crafting quality knives for over a century, so you can rest assured they know what they're doing.
So, your outdoor space is too small for a grill, and you'd really like to avoid a house full of smoke — but you're still craving those charred foods of summer. This baby will sear proteins and veggies like a champ, but its smoke-control system means you won't be breathing in soot while you cook. In addition to a grill plate, it comes with a flat-top griddle (smash burgers, anyone?) and you'll be able to fit up to six steaks at a time on its roomy cooking surface. Bonus: It comes with a food thermometer for accurate results every time.

Mugginess just might be the bane of summer, but this highly rated appliance works in spaces of up to 800 square feet to make the air less heavy. It has a quiet night mode so as not to disturb your sleep, and you can choose from seven colored light options for a little illumination. This is as low as it's been all year.
Whether you're storing shorts and sundresses in the winter or puffer coats and comforters in the summer, these roomy storage bags will keep everything organized from season to season. Each one has an impressive 90-liter capacity, along with see-through front panels so you won't forget what you stashed in them.
Gardening season is just around the corner, and these No. 1 bestselling pruning shears were designed to slice through stems like nobody's business. Made of durable stainless steel, the blades have a low-friction coating and a self-cleaning sap groove to help prevent sticking, and the nonslip handles offer a secure grip.

This queen-size, all-season comforter is right up Goldilocks' alley: cozy enough for the colder months, but not too stuffy during the summer. The classic white version is more than 50% off, bringing it down to just $24 — that's essentially the price of many desk salads these days (you know the ones). In fact, it's close to as low as I've seen it in years. Plus, it has tens of thousands of five-star ratings to back it up (in addition to mine — I love it!), so if you're even thinking about adding it to your cart, now would be a smart time.
And for a hands-off cleaning option? Look no further than this popular (as in, over 20,000 sold in the past month) robovac. It's dropped down to its lowest-ever sale price, and while I could go on about its strong suction and mapping abilities, the star feature is the self-emptying base, which will hold up to 60 days' worth of debris so you're not touching any dirt or dust.
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 Amazon Prime price chop of 50% means it's the lowest we've seen for this cult favorite in over a month. (And $30 for non-Prime members is still a good deal.) When you consider the amount of time and effort it'll save you, that's pretty priceless.
Even those of us who love cooking don't feel like chopping vegetables every now and then — and others absolutely detest it. With the 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. (Oh, and if you're prone to sobbing whenever you cut an onion, this will spare you!)
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 much of the effort out of slicing and dicing. The soft-grip handle and non-slip 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.
Nearly 80,000 Amazon customers are smitten with their Fullstar Vegetable Chopper.
"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."
"The built-in container is a game-changer when it comes to maintaining a clean and organized kitchen," shared a third fan. "As you chop or spiralize, the container neatly collects the ingredients, minimizing mess and saving precious counter space. The transparent design allows for easy monitoring of the food prep progress, adding a practical touch to the overall functionality."
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."
