Toasts quickly and evenly every time. The peek-and-pop lever is a nice touch — simple, practical, no fuss. Solid build quality throughout. Dualit does what Dualit does, and does it well.
I love this toaster looks great obviously strong and durable the main thing it’s quick not waiting 10 mins for toast , not really heard of this firm picked because British and glad I did I’ll be looking for more of there products .
I was concerned by a few reviews that said the toaster broke or burned toast. We are only 1 week in -- so longevity still has to be tested! However, the toasting experience is wonderful. The toaster looks great -- very high quality and great design, with metal construction. The toasting levers feel very nice. It does pop up but also you can manually inspect it mid-toast. The actual toasting pattern is more like you get in hotels -- it seems "professional", rather than usual at home style toaster. I can imagine the burning is because this toaster is super powerful and a lot fo bread needs a low setting. We use a lot of gluten free bread, and it actually improves the flavor of this vs other toasters (which I am grateful for!) Most importantly, it is designed and made in Britain -- which we were prepared to pay for -- rather than the usual "made in China". I loved the video of the inventor and his family testing toasters - I was sold! And it is better than I expected (so far!)
Amazing toaster which I hope will last for many years. Great functions, looks really stylish, bought the matching kettle and I’m really pleased:. Toast this morning was perfect - absolute quality and really well made
