Amazon reduces ‘unbelievably sharp' kitchen gadget from £30 to £17 – it's 6-in-1 and will SLASH meal prep time
AMAZON shoppers are rushing to snap up a time-saving kitchen gadget that's been slashed by 43%. The retail giant has reduced this 6-in-1 vegetable chopper - which has over 24,000 five-star reviews - from £29.99 to just £16.99. 2 Fullstar 6-in-1 Vegetable Chopper, £29.99 £16.99 BUY FROM AMAZON The Fullstar vegetable chopper has been purchased over 5,000 times in July and is an 'Amazon's Choice' product, which are well-priced, highly-rated items with fast shipping. The last great kitchen deal we spotted on Amazon was on a Ninja knife block during the Prime Day sale. This deal, by contrast, is available to everyone, not just Prime subscribers. Perfect for summer salad season, this handy little chopper contains six stainless steel blades, a finger guard, and a cleaning brush. These six blades include a fine dicer, a medium dicer, a grater, a shredder, a julienne (ribbon) blade, and a slicer. That means you can grate cheese, dice an onion, julienne a courgette, and plenty more - this is a great chance to spice up and speed up your mealtimes. Whether you're trying to jazz up a plate of veggies for your kids or you're struggling with old, dulled kitchen knives, this Amazon deal looks like a smart purchase. The blades are not only extra-sharp (hence the safety features and finger guard) but they're strong and durable too, made of 420J stainless steel. The extra-hard ABS plastic container can take use after use, not cracking under all the vegetables being chopped, no matter how thick or coarse. The chopper would also suit those who are getting less able to cook and be nimble in the kitchen, as the device requires 'only a little pressure to chop' and creates less mess and washing up in the meantime. Amazon shoppers have already taken to the review section to rave about this smart chopper, praising its functionality, ease of use, and value for money. Many customers have commented on how efficient it made cooking and meal prep. 'If you want to save time in the kitchen, you need this! It's a great buy,' writers one buyer. Another says: 'This contraption is AMAZING! It saves so much time in the kitchen.' Others have loved the impact it's had on kids and fussy eaters, with one parent commenting: '[It] converted my children to salad eaters. They don't normally eat salad, but they enjoyed this device so much they ate large plates of [it] for dinner after!' This isn't the only Amazon deal the Sun Shopping team has written about recently. Anyone look for iPhone charging should look at an 'ultra-slim' Magsafe power bank slashed from £160 to £20. Those looking for protection against the sun and rain in this summer shouldn't miss a garden gazebo that's been cut by 21%.

My Family Loves the iPad 10 and It's $70 Off Today During Walmart's Anti-Prime Sale
I spend a lot of time testing tablets, phones, wearables and other gadgets, so there's never a shortage of devices in my home. But the screen that gets the most use in my home is surprisingly the least expensive one: Apple's iPad 10th gen. Whenever we need to do something quickly, like order groceries, look at photos together, or do some quick research on a trip we're planning, it's always the first device we pick up. And right now, all the colors of the 10th-gen iPad are discounted by $70 as a part of Walmart's anti-Prime sale. That brings the price down to $279, which is a pretty sweet deal on a device that's become the hardest-working gadget in my home. Since I've got kids, having a cheaper iPad on hand is a must. Apple's entry-level iPad gives us more than enough for basic game-playing, movie-watching, video chats and even some light work. Staying on the cheaper end of the iPad lineup also means that I'm in no rush to run out and grab the latest 11th-gen iPad, either. If the latest entry-level iPad received the same treatment the 2024 iPad Mini did, it might be a different story. I can't justify the iPad as a true laptop replacement. However, on any trip my family goes on, it is the first device after a phone that any of us decide to pack. It doesn't support the higher-end Pencil Pro stylus, but it can work for art with a USB-C Pencil just fine and has a lot of keyboard case options that nearly turn it into a laptop. The iPad has fancier varieties that ramp up processing power, display quality and size, and add more storage. Still, in many ways, all iPads feel pretty much the same. That's the great success of the iPad in the first place, and it's also why cheaper iPads are still great gifts. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. The 10th-gen iPad is the perfect size and price I like the 11-inch iPad size the most. It's a perfect blend of screen size and portability, and it's a great fit for keyboard cases. It's easy to slip in a bag and big enough to multitask on with split-screen apps. I love doing quick writing and notetaking on iPads with keyboard cases, and the iPad is also my preferred quick and easy way to watch TV shows and movies by myself. I don't always play games on the iPad (I'm a game console person), but games like Catan, Balatro and Retro Bowl on the iPad are my personal obsessions. Read more: Best iPad for 2025 I play with plenty of gadgets in my house, and the iPad is one of many tools in my tech collection. It really hits me how much the iPad is an essential family tool when I see how my wife gravitates to it, or my kids. It's comforting, it's instant and most of the iPads in our home are years old, which doesn't even slightly affect how often we use them. That's why I suggest that buying low is the way to go, despite how nice and speedy higher-end iPads can seem. Still not convinced? No problem, take a look at these Prime Day tablet deals. Best Prime Day Tablet Deals Save yourself from scrolling through Prime Day tablet deals with the help of our shopping experts, who have rounded up top savings for you right here. See Now Why this deal matters Discounts on Apple devices don't come around too often. So when a deal does become available, it's best not to wait as it can disappear at any time. While this isn't the lowest price we've seen, this drops it down to the same price we saw during the major holiday sales. In a world full of rapidly changing tech and gadgets, it's nice that each generation of the iPad can be so reliable and stable. Sure, the 10th-gen iPad might get updated next spring, but in the meantime it's the best affordable bet for basic uses, such as watching TV, creating art and playing select games. For more, don't miss the rest of the deals at Walmart's anti Prime Day sale.
