Pull-String Choppers Sell for $9 to $18 in US Stores. Ours Start at $1.37 at the Factory

HEHUI is a China kitchenware manufacturer with our own factory since 2010. We searched Walmart.com and Amazon.com for "pull string food chopper" on November 11, 2026, and recorded the prices of every pull-string or pull-cord listing on the first result page: 39 on Walmart and 40 on Amazon, sponsored listings included. Commercial and electric choppers were left out. We sorted listings into small and large bowls only when the title stated a size. Prices change daily. Our prices are the starting prices for 100+ units shown on our product pages.

Retail price vs factory price by bowl size

The last column divides each row's median retail prices by our lowest and highest matching factory prices.

The headline number: $1.37 vs about $10

Our 803 pull-cord chopper with a 500 ml bowl (VT-066) starts at US$1.37 a set. Small pull-string choppers for garlic, onion and herbs had a median price of $10.23 on Walmart and $9.99 on Amazon. That is about 7 times our price. Even the cheapest listing we found, $5.09 on Amazon, was more than 3.5 times our price.

The 900 ml size has the widest gap

Listings that named a large bowl (900 ml, 3 cups or 4 cups) sold for a median of $12.49 on Walmart and $17.99 on Amazon. Our 900 ml 803 chopper (VT-067) starts at US$1.69, so retail is about 7 to 10 times higher at the median. The larger bowl costs us only US$0.32 more than the 500 ml version, but it sells for several dollars more, so it is the model we suggest a new seller lists first.

Our pull-cord range with carton data

Sets per m³ are worked out from each model's listed master carton. All of our pull-cord choppers come in a color box; colors and materials for each model are on the pull-cord chopper page.

Why freight barely moves the price

A boxed 500 ml chopper is about 13 x 9.5 x 13 cm. The VT-066 packs 60 to a carton, about 553 sets per cubic metre, so 60 m³ of a 40 ft container holds roughly 33,000 sets. Spread over that many units, sea freight is a few cents per chopper. Import duty, platform fees and advertising are the costs to check; our price journey example shows how they add up for a larger chopper.

What does this mean for your range?

1. Lead with the 900 ml VT-067 for the widest gap between factory and shelf price.
2. Add the 500 ml VT-066 as the low-price entry and add-on item.
3. Offer two sizes in matching colors: the two 803 bowls share a 12.5 cm diameter, which works for a two-pack listing.
4. Compare blade steel before price: the 803 models list 410 stainless steel, the 8004 and 8005 list 420J2.

Stock items have no minimum, so you can test several sizes in one order. For single parcels while you test, see our dropshipping guide. For other kitchen gadgets, see our retail vs factory price check.
