Advantages: Unbreakable, makes great toast

Disadvantages: toasted teacakes get stuck in the slot

We bought our dualit toaster 4-5 years ago, and its been brilliant. Its reliable, couldn't be simpler to use and looks great. It cost more than I would usually consider spending, but since we had broken several cheaper toasters in the past, its turned out to be value for money too. My husband went to boarding school and the common room had 2 dualit toasters for use by about 600 teenage boys. Apparently they kept going for years despite the extremely rough usage.

We did blow out an element las year- dualit sent a replacement within the week, and it was easy to fit. Top marks for customer service.

My only criticism would be that the slots are not quite wide enough for toasted teacakes or crumpets - you can get them in, but sometimes they stick getting them out.

Basically this is the toaster you should consider if you want something to last a lifetime. All the other manufacturers copy its looks, but I bet they don't copy the build quality.

Summary: Great investment
