48% Off | Fullstar The Original Pro Chopper – Vegetable Chopper and Spiralizer

I’m impressed with the quality of this chopper. It’s very easy to use and it’s also easy to clean, which I appreciate. It makes chopping up vegetables so much faster and easier! You don’t lose any flavor. It’s not a huge product so you can store it in a smaller cupboard without any issues, but it also doesn’t take up a lot of counter space if you choose to keep it out.

This would get a 5 star from me except my husband and I have both been brutally sliced by the blades. I think the product works great, chops in a jiffy with minimal effort. However, while trying to unattach the small blades square I touched the blade (not pushed on or messed with, literally barely touched) and sliced my finger open. My husband had done the same thing on the last use. The Caution writing is the same color as the unit so not easily seen. We love the functionality of this, but given how difficult the unit is to clean we have to run it through the dishwasher and worry our kids will slice their hands if they handle it. It would have been ideal for there to be greater safety considerations put into fool-proofing around the blades, even the storage of them doesn’t seem safe and well thought out. Simple plastic sheets to cover them could have done wonders. If you have kids who do the dishes, be sure to take time to familiarize yourself and educate those using the unit.

As with the food slicer I recently bought… you don’t drag out either unit, unless you have at least a moderate amount of product/produce to process. Isn’t worth the time/trouble/cleanup, for lesser quantities; better to ‘old school it’ with a knife/cutting brd, for those smaller/individual consumption items/quantities. Don’t expect to cube cheese with this unit (at least, not with the small cuber; haven’t tried cheese with the lgr cube plate). I was expecting to do so, but an ~ 5/16″ thick slice off a round Gouda cheese cylinder, which just fit the width of the cuber plate… got WELL & truly stuck, about halfway in. But was easy to dislodge, by simply flipping the lower plate over, and using the pusher plate to eject the embedded cheese slice. Works great for cubing/slicing soft, non-sticky veggies (like onions or bell peppers; just like in the videos). I anticipate it should work OK with sliced ham, but have yet to try it. Plan to. Will update, if a prob. The egg slicer works well. Don’t expect to use the Spiralizer with other than VERY firm cucumbers (or long squash, I assume [haven’t tried, as I greatly dislike squash, in gnrl]), etc., etc.; because the little spiked ‘holder/driver’ will simply spin-in-place with, say, a soft(er)-centered/ripe cucumber. When you try to Spiralize such, by hand (W/O the pusher/spinner)… its too slippery (if you’ve peeled it), and you can only do so much… before you get a dbl-coned/ended shape that is no longer practical to further attempt. I suppose you could insert a couple of those dbl-spiked corn cob holders into the off-center portions of a soft cucumber half… and THAT might let you spin it (until the blade encounters the long, metal pins!), but… is it really worth the effort? The hand juicer is appropriate for mostly just small lemons or limes. I’ve a hvy dty/elec juicer, so haven’t tried this unit’s juicer. The hand peeler accessory, on the other hand, is maybe the best part of the entire package! I was looking frwd to trying it, and it certainly didn’t disappoint! It’s the finest peeler I’ve ever used, bar none, works well/easily, and has four blades/modes. Peels like there’s no tomorrow!! Exceptionally easy to clean (and sharpen); with no clogging with peel during use, as with my OXO brand hand peeler. The peeler blades (ALL the unit’s incld’d blades, for that matter!) are quite, QUITE razor sharp!! The receptacle is ergonomic, and of a good/useful size. The upper unit fits to it well, and the loaded device is very stable. Two wide, rbbr ‘feet’ on the bottom help with that non-slipping stability. A hand-crank, cone slicer/processor might be more appropriate, depending on your usage scenario. That, or an elec Cuisinart food processor. Again, not worth dragging out/cleaning up after, except for major usage. In fact, that’s why I bought this unit, instead of a small, elec food processor – hoping it would ‘fill the gap’, so to speak. Might end up buying an electric, anyway. Go figure. 🙂 Overall, though, a well designed/executed unit; but, perhaps… marginally worth the $40 price tag. Recommended, nonetheless.

Love, love this food chopper. The chopper is easy to use and includes two different sized chopping blades which are nice and sharp. The entire item cleans up easily which is important in our house. I highly recommend this item for yourself or a gift.

This is a very handy thing to have around.The only reason I’ve given it 4 stars is the misleading picture which shows a half onion on the chopping blades. Because it needs a GOOD thwack to actually chop onions or bell peppers – the only two I used it for so far- I have to cut the veggies into wedges. That’s something I am more than happy to do, because I primarily use the small chopper and it beats cutting a large amount of onions into small bits.I haven’t tried hard veggies like carrots or beets, but my guess is I will need to cut them into thick slices first to get the small dice I like. That still beats chopping large quantities by hand.I used the spiralizer to make zucchini noodles and it’s great. I didn’t like the way it chopped tomatoes; maybe my tomatoes were a bit too juicy. But they’re not hard to do by hand anyway, so that’s not a deal breaker for me.The blades are sharp but cleaning them is a bit of a pain, even with the cleaning tools provided. Still, a lot less effort than small dicing especially if you don’t wait till they are dry before starting to clean. Be careful, though, so you don’t slice a finger.I’ve only had this for about 6 weeks, so I can’t speak to how good the blades are. I’ll update if they start out to wear out too soon.
