Dualit 2 Slice Lite Toaster | 1.1kW Toasts 60 Slices an Hour | Polished with High Gloss Black Trim | Bagel & Defrost Settings | 36 mm Wide Slots | 26205

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.

My experience of toasters has been a vindication of the maxim "cheap becomes expensive".Having bough more supermarket and midrange toasters than I care to mention, all have invariably failed to deliver on their loft promises and deteriorate too soon (last one; the plastic melted; highly safe!). I wouldn't want to estimate how much I've spent replacing toasters.This toaster is crazy-expensive when compared to what else you can buy, but the build quality, repairability, configurability, every-day usability (and yes, looks!) make it a proof that the contra statement "Expensive becomes cheap" is very true.

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

We have just replaced the same model with this one (we damaged one of the elements when cleaning). This one seems to have different level of browning so have uneven toast, ( a major first world issue)!

Best toaster I have ever purchased and I love the fact it's British too.Easy to use and looks great in the kitchen!love the bagel feature.

Always wanted one of these toasters. I have not been disappointed.From placing the order to delivery the process was seamless.

What a pile of rubbish. I paid a fortune thinking I'd get quality. It never toasts equally on both sides and you need to toast half way, turn the bread and retoast half way on the other side. For a budget toaster that may be fine but for this price, its a rip off. To top it off, at two years old, it's now defunct and perhaps it just needed a fuse but wait for it - the plug is sealed and the fuse is not replaceable! It's in the bin and I'll buy a budget one - it can't be any worse than this thing has been!

Brilliant purchase
