Dualit 2 + 1 Combi Toaster

This is actually Dualit’s own description of their toasters and is the reason why I bought one. The toaster we were given as a wedding present lasted 10 years and as it was in daily use I considered it to be an excellent toaster. But when it came to replacing it the same model was no longer available and since then we have had to buy a new toaster almost annually. The cheaper toasters I have bought stop popping up, they start making sparks and sizzly noises, they toast unevenly and erratically and they get tatty very quickly. Totally fed up with this I decided to buy a Dualit toaster. Dualit toasters are fashionable at the moment. These classic ...  Read the complete review

I would never admit it to anyone else but you, but it was my own fault we were having to buy a new pop-up toaster every couple of years. You see, I love toasted tea-cake, and it's uneconomical to put the grill on for a toasted tea-cake, isn't it? I knew you'd agree. So I put them in the pop-up toaster. A burnt currant is like cement, and a couple of those in the springs and the toaster was not so much pop-up as caput. Finally my husband had had enough. "We're getting a Dualit" he said. It took me a moment to catch up with him as I thought he was talking about metal polish, and I was still toying with the thought of him polishing the brass ...  Read the complete review

I love my Dualit. Every penny I spent was well spent. I mean the toaster comes with a LIFETIME guarantee. What other manufacturer does that? Not only do I love my toaster but I find that any visitors to my home are easily and quickly charmed by it's beauty. They may begin their visit by being shocked at the £170 price tag but you can be assured that by the time they leave they have already managed to justify this investment in their own mind. After all the toaster is handmade in Britain, where the only electrical tool used in production is an electric screwdriver. It's a piece of art. The Dualit does need commitment however and owners must be ...  Read the complete review

The Dualit Toaster range have become design classics and after about 2 years of wishing for a Dualit, I finally succumbed to the great expense and bought one. I purchased the Combi Toaster from Costco at the discounted price of £115 ( instead of the advertised price of £175 ) This combi Toaster is chrome and quite bulky. There are two slots which are slightly on the small side, and the bread is manually lifted with a lever. There is a further slot which can be operated independently of the other two, and is used in conjunction with a cage. This slot is wider and good for toasting scones or buns etc. The cage also serves as a sandwich toaster. You have ...  Read the complete review

How to save money: I saw this after I purchased mine, that Tesco’s were selling "Gray Imports" - i.e. goods brought in to this country, hence bypassing the nation distributor, for half the price of any shop in this country. Look out for them in your local Tesco’s! The toaster cooks toast quicker than anyone I've used before, and time in the morning is always precious so this is a great bonus. The timer is a great way of setting the "brownness" of your toast! Although it makes an annoying clicking noise, you know when the noise has stopped your toast is done - and using this method you have a visual display of how long ...  Read the complete review
