Can you believe that this is the same design they used in 1947? This is one of those iconic designs which will still look good in a thousand years.

Some people swear by Dualit at the worlds best toaster and use them trouble free for years, but a significantly large minority have major issues, mostly build quality and faulty timers  If I were to spend over £100 on a 2 slice toaster ( which I would never do) I would opt for the Magimix it’s got a  3 year guarantee and greater degree of customer satisfaction.

 So what do you get for your money?

• Hand built in England
• Designed for use in commercial kitchens (but are they commercial quality? )
• Mechanical timer to control toasting
• Manually operated eject lever to keep items warm until needed
• Selector switch- use only the slots required
• Adjustable inner wire guard to grip toast
• Replaceable / repairable parts – Dualit will repair (at a cost)
• Easy cleaning with a stainless steel cover
• High lift mechanism to remove small items easily
• Extra wide 28 mm slots to accommodate larger items like bagels and the optional sandwich cage
• Concealed, removable crumb tray
• Adjustable rear foot
• Proheat elements designed with protective layer over the wires, making them virtually unbreakable

What you don’t get is an overall guarantee, just 2 years on the ‘unbreakable’ elements and a standard 1 year guarantee on the rest.

 This may sound strange but if you really do want one shop around the second hand shops and get one made about 20 – 30 years ago, it may outlast a new one bought today!
