6 Best Vegetable Choppers, According to Our Testing

Testers loved this electric vegetable chopper because the motor located at the top of the model operates somewhat like an immersion blender. It powers a windmill-like blade to chop foods finely and evenly, producing a mince of onions in only one two-second pulse, making it a very powerful and efficient chopper. In fact, testers suggested that it was so powerful that they had to be mindful not to over-process — for example, after five pulses, onions were pureed.

The large-capacity bowl, which has a gripped base to prevent slipping, is great for big tasks like chopping bell peppers, but it can prove difficult when chopping smaller items, like a few cloves of garlic. The motor is detachable from the dishwasher-safe bowl for easy storage. The bowl also comes with a locking lid for storing chopped vegetables in the refrigerator.

Fullstar's chopper has gained a lot of attention on TikTok and is a top seller on Amazon. It comes with four different blades — a large dice, a small dice and two spiralizing blades — which provide versatility for chopping a variety of vegetables and fruits.

Insert the larger dicing disc and press down on the hinged lid to quickly chop firmer foods like potatoes or onions; use the smaller disc for softer foods like tomatoes or avocados. Or flip the lid open to use the spiralizing disc. Take note: If you want a perfect dice, it helps to cut the food into even planks first.

Unlike other vegetable choppers, this pick is not suited to chopping parsley or other herbs, so it's best used for larger vegetables. It is dishwasher safe and has a durable, large-capacity base (5 cups!), so it can prep more veggies in one round than smaller models.

A food processor is a workhorse in your kitchen: It chops veggies in minutes, purees smooth dips and creates delicious sauces (like pesto!). And this mini food processor option takes up significantly less storage space than its larger counterpart. It's a great choice for those with smaller kitchens, but it's important to note that it can't do all of the same jobs as a larger food processor, like make dough, nor does it come with additional attachments, like a grating disk.

In testing, this electric vegetable chopper produced even and finely chopped results, whether onions or softer ingredients like canned tomatoes. The bowl is large and clear, but it does not include a maximum fill line, so use caution when adding liquid to ensure the chopper doesn't overflow.

This small but mighty chopper is a fun way to mince garlic — a job that can be smelly and messy. Simply add cloves to the chamber, close the lid and roll the wheels on your countertop.

The rolling action causes the blades to rotate — testers found it to be incredibly intuitive and easy to use. Plus, it has a compact design and can easily fit in most kitchen drawers for easy storage. This tool is dishwasher safe, which is great since the blades and enclosed chamber can make it difficult to hand wash.

In testing, this chopper minced garlic cloves quickly and neatly, so it makes a great gift for cooks who love to start their dishes off with this ultra-flavorful aromatic. But testers did note that it doesn't have functionality beyond garlic.

This compact manual chopper uses a pull mechanism (kind of like starting a lawnmower) to spin the blade and chop vegetables. The big handle is easy for most to hold, and in our Lab tests, the blades spun smoothly to evenly chop vegetables. The roomy bowl (holds 25 ounces) has a grippy bottom to prevent slipping, but we noted that it doesn't include measurement markers.

Testers noticed some bruising on the chopped parsley leaves, but the blades worked efficiently to cut through onions and to puree canned tomatoes. The blades also stood firmly in the base even when food was added, but they were easy to remove for simple cleaning.

This small-capacity chopper is great to keep on hand for cutting small amounts of vegetables, like shallots or a handful of garlic cloves. The clear bowl has well-defined measurement markers, and the lid locks onto the bowl easily but securely to help prevent spills.

The grippy base resists slipping on the counter when vegetables are being chopped. The plunger can be locked in the lowered position for more compact storage. Plus, all parts are dishwasher safe and can be easily disassembled for more thorough cleaning. In testing, we found that the way the blade spins sometimes means that ingredients are chopped in the same place, resulting in cut that are less even than other models.
