A good product. Lives up to claims fairly well. Browning function is usually consistent, although can occasionally fail. Takes a wider range of sizes than most toasters. Controls work well. Should last longer than previous and cheaper toasters we have tried. Expensive, but good value.

Dualit Perfect Toast Technology toasts the bread evenly on both sides , the temperature dial lets you toast the bread from very light to well done. The Peek and Pop function is for checking on your toast without interrupting the cycle, this function works really well, the toaster is well constructed with a stainless steel body and a choice of colours to suit the environment. With some patience it can be cleaned, as with most toasters you have to clean it carefully and not use anything abrasive. All in all a great toaster which should last for many years. The toaster is of average size for a 2 Slice.

Excellent et beau, livraison rapide, mieux que le modèle plus cher de la même marque qui avait rendu l’âme après 6ans d’utilisation (soi-disant résistant à vie?) les tranches de pain sont bien maintenues au centre des espaces de grill ce qui évite les bords brulés et permet une grillade uniforme et rapide. Utilisation simple, en fait il s’agit de facto de deux grille-pain au réglage indépendant d’épaisseur de tranches, et de durée de grillade.

No more squashed toasted sandwiches. I brought this because it is meant to be the most reliable toaster on the market. I can’t comment on that because I’ve only had it a few weeks. I’m very happy so far it’s extremely powerful

This used to be a great toaster but the last two we have bought for our cafe have had issues. Within months the first one cracked along the top of the plastic and got so bad that some of the buttons disappeared into the plastic shell. We bought another and within weeks it began to play up so that the toaster was only toasting one side of the toast as if it were a bagel (and then burning the bottom too), even though we hadn’t pressed the bagel option… When it works properly, it is fantastic, but the toasters don’t last long and are expensive to start with.

The design has a touch of elegance which means the toaster makes a statement, as far as a toaster can, with a retro-1950’s look. It is an attractive, rounded design with fairly simple controls. There is a button for bagels, which, with cut sides to the centre, will toast the cut side and warm the crust, a feature also useful for muffins, especially thick northern affairs, and there is also a defrost button, As well as slices of bread you can also defrost bagels and muffins by pressing both buttons simultaneously. Completing the set is a browning dial (1-8) with a cancel button in the centre. Around 4 or 5 seems about right for me, depending upon thickness, but it is worth remembering toasting is faster if you are doing a second or more rounds in succession as the elements start hot for subsequent slices, so browning needs to be turned down a little. I suspect 8 would be at the charcoal end of toast but don’t knock it, I had a colleague at work who liked his toast to be just short of being in flames, so each to his own. The toast is lowered with an attractive lever with a colour co-ordinated knob and can be lifted during toasting to check on progress without cancelling – just a quick look and carry on toasting or cancel and eat. The slots are particularly wide, 36mm, 1.4ins in old money, so will fit doorstops if that is your choice. As for Warburton’s Toastie, which seems to have become the unofficial British Standard for toasters, the slices fit . . . just, the top sitting just about inside the target area of the elements – but, if you are concerned by the Warburton’s test, the slices fit comfortably sideways, dropping well into the element comfort zone to end all debate. So how about toasting, which after all is why you buy a toaster? Attractive design and good looks count for nothing if it can’t toast bread and on that score it is superb. I must admit, we have been fortunate with toasters over the years. This replaced a Krups’ model we had had had for probably 15-20 years and which had started to toast unevenly and would no longer cancel. Our past toasters have all been good quality and did their job well, but this takes toasting to another level. First of all it is consistently an even toast, with slices of bread an even colour from edge to edge and both sides virtually the same colour. Wider slices and items such as thick Yorkshire muffins need to turned down a little or checked regularly as obviously the surfaces are closer to the elements so will toast quicker, but again the toasting is even. The toast itself even tastes a little different, or at least has a slightly different texture than I have found with any other toaster. The outside of the toast comes out crisp, yet the inside is warm and still soft, which becomes more noticeable the thicker the slice. You see this claim on the Dualit videos and think it is just marketing spin, but it is actually true. You get crisp toast with a soft centre. So far I have found no problem and I am delighted with the toaster’s performance. It is certainly not the cheapest toaster around, and does not have the bells and whistles some toasters can offer, there is no LCD browning control or digital countdown, no motorised lift, no reheat function, but it has everything you are ever likely to need and more than that, what it does have is the ability to make superb toast, and that, after all, is all you really want from a toaster. The four star on cleaning incidentally, is not because of any inherent difficulty in doing the job, but simply because the shiny chrome demands a bit more effort to keep clean and looking pristine than coloured panels that are happy with merely a quick wipe over.

I’ve had a Saga toaster for the last few years and didn’t think the toast could be better, but this one has given me a beautiful even browning and probably one minute quicker. I like the ability to look at your toast whilst it’s being cooked

Perfect toast, but at this price it pretty well should be.
Bought to replace a ‘cheap’ Aldi toaster which was OK but I particularly wanted the ability to do ‘one side only’ toasting for teacakes and bagels. This achieves this perfectly. The slightly uneven toasting on the pictured teacake is down to the way I cut it. It does really nice toast, as you can see I like my toast pretty well done and crispy so this was done on setting ‘4’. The teacake was on setting ‘3’. The bread is ASDA’s Exceptional seeded loaf and the teacake is a Warburtons.
Mine is the two slice version which is perfect for a two person household like ours.
With a bit of experimentation you will get 100% perfect toast/breads exactly to your liking.
We used Dualit toasters at work so I wanted one from home due to the longevity. This is a ‘Lite’ version but hopefully will also last a long time.
Yes its expensive for a toaster, other named brand versions can be had for less but I was happy to pay what I did, £75 because so far it works to well.
It looks very well built, the elemenets in particular lok thicker and more robust than the ones in the much cheaper (£7 on offer!!!) Aldi Ambio one it replaces. That will be going in the caravan.
So yes I am happy to give it 5 stars and recommend it.

Old toaster went bang after an incident with an escaped currant from a bun and a teaspoon. Oops. Shame, it was great. One feature that I particularly liked was the bagel-button (toasts one side only) and I was keen that the replacement should replicate. Tough ask as it turned out, not many toasters have this function. Had to pay rather more than I’d planned, but so far not disappointed. The Dualit looks good, feels solid, has minimal but useful features, nice wide slots, takes a separately available sandwich toasting cage which is great, and toasts pretty well. Particularly like being able to lift to view without breaking the toasting cycle. Pricey but money well spent.
