Advantages: Design, durability, quality toast

Disadvantages: price, bulkiness

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 to butter both sides of the bread , insert a filling such as cheese and onion , put it in the cage and pop it in the toaster. This works incredibly well, and makes far less mess than the traditional sandwich makers.

Dualit toasters are not automatic. You turn a dial for the element to heat up, and then it is up to you to keep checking if the toast is done. The bread seems to be toasted very quickly and evenly, and all of the bread is toasted. A crumb tray is located under the toaster and has worked very well in eliminating the mess on the work surface. It is easy to remove and clean.

I am hoping that this toaster will last me now for ever, if anything does go wrong Dualit can supply a host of spare parts.
