One thing to consider when picking out an onion chopper is what shape you want your chopped onions to be cut into. You can expect that onion choppers will always be able to chop or dice onions for you. Some onion choppers include additional blades that can slice onions as a mandolin would, or that can cut vegetables in a spiral or ribbon style.
Another thing to consider is what sort of storage space you want for your chopped onions or veggies. Most onion choppers will include a bowl that attaches to the onion chopper to hold the veggies after they are chopped. In some cases, this bowl can be removed and stored with the lid included. This can be especially helpful if you want to chop multiple onions at once and save them in the fridge for easy access at a later time.
You’ll also want to learn more about how easy your onion chopper is to clean. As we mentioned above, many of the onion choppers on this list are safe to put through the dishwasher, and this is good news. However, in many cases, repeated chopping will cause small pieces of food to get stuck in or around the blades, and you’ll likely want to remove these before putting your onion chopper in the dishwasher. It’s important to always exercise extreme care and caution when handling blades.
Lastly, you’ll want to determine how much strength it will take to chop your onions (or other veggies) inside your onion chopper. Some onion choppers will be more difficult to push down than others and may be more difficult for certain individuals to use. This is especially true for onion choppers that are one-touch rather than choppers that require multiple pushes to fully chop veggies.

A: As a general rule, most onion choppers are dishwasher safe. Some may have parts that need to be placed on the top rack. Others may have some parts that can go in the dishwasher and others that cannot. It’s important to pay attention to the specific instructions included with each onion chopper, as most of them have multiple parts and there may be different rules for each of them.
A: Many of the onion choppers on this list will allow you to chop your onions into thicker or smaller pieces, depending upon your individual preferences or on the dish that you’re making. Sometimes, this can be done by simply switching out the blade used in your onion chopper (many onion choppers will include multiple interchangeable blades). Other times, this will be done by pressing on the chopper multiple times to get the onion down to your desired consistency. This happens when the onion chopper only includes one blade and when the space that the onions are stored in is the same place where they are chopped.
