Mueller The Real Original Pro Chopper is 48% off on Amazon

Every kitchen has one tool that feels like cheating. Not the cast-iron skillet you swear you’ll season properly next time, not the overpriced knives that make you look more skilled than you may actually be. No, the real hero is the kind of gadget that does the boring stuff — chopping, slicing, dicing — so fast you barely have time to regret offering to host dinner.

Enter the Mueller The Real Original Pro Chopper, the workhorse that has quietly become one of Amazon’s most popular kitchen buys. And right now, it’s 48% off ahead of Prime Big Deal Days in October.

Last week’s announcement revealed the dates of October Prime Day sale, which is officially titled Prime Big Deal Days and will fall on Tuesday, Oct. 7, and Wednesday, Oct. 8, per Amazon’s announcement this year. Between us, though, you’re going to want to take advantage of early deals before items begin selling out.

But back to the Mueller: This thing is basically an onion-cry prevention program, a sous chef you don’t have to tip, and the only reason you might finally stop reaching for Uber Eats after seeing a whole onion and thinking, “too much work.” The appeal is obvious: when the prep is handled, the cooking actually feels fun again. And when it’s nearly half off, it’s the kind of purchase that pays for itself in just a couple of home-cooked meals.

The Real Original Pro Chopper from Mueller comes with multiple blades and inserts for perfectly uniform chopping, slicing, and julienning, making it equally useful for weeknight salads, stir-fries, meal prep, or big-batch entertaining.

Its stainless steel blades are designed to handle tough vegetables without dulling, and the BPA-free container base keeps everything neat, catching your chopped ingredients so they don’t end up scattered across your countertop. Cleanup is simple, too, with dishwasher-safe parts that actually encourage you to use it instead of banishing it to the back of a cabinet.

Your Prime Big Deal Days FAQs, answered

What is Prime Big Deal Days?

This annual Amazon sale — which we like to call October Prime Day — is similar to the well-known July event: it’s a two-day blow out shopping event with deep discounts on bestsellers and everyday essentials. But the timing of this sale makes all the difference; shoppers can also score pre-Black Friday deals on top-rated toys and sell-out-risk gifts before the holiday rush.

How long does Prime Big Deal Days last?

Amazon’s fall Prime Day event only lasts two days. This sale starts on Tuesday October 7 at 12:01 a.m. PT and runs through Wednesday October 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

When does Prime Big Deal Days end?

Prime Big Deal Days 2025 ends on Wednesday October 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT, so east-coasters have until about 3 a.m. on October 9 their time to shop the deals.

Do you have to be an Amazon Prime member to shop?

Prime Big Deal Days is a member-exclusive sale event. Interested shoppers can grab a 30-day free trial to try Prime, and its many benefits, with no strings attached.

Prime Day vs. Prime Big Deal Days: What’s the difference?

Already familiar with July Prime Day? Then you’ll love Amazon’s fall version! Like its summer spectacular sale, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days offers major discounts for 48 hours, but with a bigger focus on holiday gifts, toys and tech to shop ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

What are the best deals?

From reporting on Amazon sales for years, we can tell you for certain that October Prime Day is the ideal period to stock up on household essentials, score great deals on gift-worthy items and toys, take advantage of Black Friday-level discounts on tech and appliances, refill your skincare empties, and comb through the massive catalog of Amazon best-sellers.

Is it worth it?

We certainly think so! October Prime Day is a great chance to score Black Friday-worthy deals on thousands of best-sellers, including everything from big-ticket tech to Post reader-favorite trash bags. Our team diligently sorts through all the offers to find you the very best items to grab on sale.

When is the next Prime Day?

Already wondering when Amazon’s next Prime Day is? Prime Day takes place in July each year, so it’s safe to assume it will take place in mid-July 2026 — similar to previous years. Can’t wait to shop more Amazon deals? Look out for Amazon’s Black Friday sales to kick off the holiday season in November.
