I’ve had a Saga toaster for the last few years and didn’t think the toast could be better, but this one has given me a beautiful even browning and probably one minute quicker. I like the ability to look at your toast whilst it’s being cooked
Having had several weeks of uneven toast, the old toaster went out the window, literally. I decided on a Dualit 2 slice lite as I trust the brand having had Dualit products throughout my life ( though not the previous toaster).The toaster arrived next day, simply but effectively packaged and was duly unboxed and plugged in.We toasted 6 slices of thick farmhouse bread which were all, evenly, a golden brown just with the default setting. These first ones fed the birds in the garden, but the following ones fed me, and I was happy. Instead of white and dark brown colours (on the same side of the toast) with a chewy consistency, they were pleasantly crisp, warm and even. Success! Happiness!My partner is chuffed as well, her crumpets and potato scones come out perfect.The finish of this toaster is excellent, and it's a solid build as you expect from Dualit, is easily cleaned, and toasts very quickly- a real bonus.Worth the money! It toasts, no fuss!
Absolutely LOVE this Dualit 2 Slice Lite Toaster - a 2 slice option is perfect for me. It's very stylish and looks super-classy on my worktop, next to my new black and chrome kettle. It took a few attempts to get the correct shade of brown but now it toasts perfectly every time, albeit slightly stripy-looking. I've so far only tried it with different supermarket variations of Tiger bread and, so far, all sizes have fitted into the slots with no problems. It feels robust and the controls are easy to use. Some of the negative reviews did put me off and the price also caused me to wince, but as my old toaster lasted 30+ years (not Dualit), I figured I deserved a nice new classy-looking toaster! Very glad I ordered it and I hope it lasts me for many years to come.
Perfect toast, but at this price it pretty well should be.Bought to replace a 'cheap' Aldi toaster which was OK but I particularly wanted the ability to do 'one side only' toasting for teacakes and bagels. This achieves this perfectly. The slightly uneven toasting on the pictured teacake is down to the way I cut it. It does really nice toast, as you can see I like my toast pretty well done and crispy so this was done on setting '4'. The teacake was on setting '3'. The bread is ASDA's Exceptional seeded loaf and the teacake is a Warburtons.Mine is the two slice version which is perfect for a two person household like ours.With a bit of experimentation you will get 100% perfect toast/breads exactly to your liking.We used Dualit toasters at work so I wanted one from home due to the longevity. This is a 'Lite' version but hopefully will also last a long time.Yes its expensive for a toaster, other named brand versions can be had for less but I was happy to pay what I did, £75 because so far it works to well.It looks very well built, the elemenets in particular lok thicker and more robust than the ones in the much cheaper (£7 on offer!!!) Aldi Ambio one it replaces. That will be going in the caravan.So yes I am happy to give it 5 stars and recommend it.
It's a great little toaster.
Good quality British made toaster, very pleased with its performance
This is the 2nd Dualit 4lite 4 sliceI have had & it doesn’t disappoint. I prefer the looks & sturdiness of this instead of the others & also use the sandwich cages as well. Highly recommend!Addenum: stopped toasting both sides on all 4 slots at bang on 13 months old! Under consumer rights this is not “a reasonable length of time” ..
There are several times in life that it's important to spend a bit more to get a better product. A toaster is a good example of when to spend a little bit more. There are plenty of toasters that you can get for £30 but they won't produce the consistency of the Dualit and almost certainly won't last as long. First class quality toaster that produces good toast. I like the Tescos wholemeal bread which is a bit wider that a normal loaf.We worried that metal would become a finger print magnet. But due to the ease of raising the toast a little bit higher using the handle this hasn't become a problem and after two weeks of use there are no finger prints.The only issue I've had is cooking bread from frozen is hit or miss using the defrost button. All I do to get round this is toast it at a lower setting and then at a medium setting once it's done.All round a first class, well made toaster.
Bought what we though was a decent brand of toaster,18 months ago.but the repetitive strain of having to toast the bread numerous times to get a slight tan on it was getting tedious to say the least...so thought we d treat ourselves...first try out today,had to adjust the dial slightly to know where we were,but wow!proper toasted toast😁quite expensive as toasters go.but if it continues to deliver it will be well worth it
Very happy, toasts well. Would have prefered the toasting sides to work independently, but good value for the price,
After my daughter turned my last toaster on its side to make cheese on toast without the bother of using the grill, and the resulting small, but troublesome fire, I invested in a Dualit toaster as its the brand I see most often used in catering establishments. It does not disappoint. The ability to lift the toast part way through cooking without interrupting the heat or timer is great. Brought in conjunction with a cheese toasty maker, which my daughter has yet to use.
Having previously had a Dualit Classic toaster which finally gave up the ghost I decided to try this one given that its nearly half the cost of a new Classic.Even though the sides are black hard plastic theres a good solid quality feel and no problems with attachment to the main steel body.Two independant levers on the front to pop up your toast to check it's progress without having to trip the timers off.The two browning timers are independent of each other handy if you like different levels of toasting. There are two other buttons on the front for defrosting and for doing bagels or buns.Theres a cable clip on each side ot the base so you can run the cable to the side most convenient to the power socket.On the rear at the base of the plastic is a handle underneath ... pull on this and the crumb tray pulls out. This design is much better than the Classic's ... larger and easier to handle.Overall can't fault it so far and looks great on the kitchen worktop.
Let's face it, most toasters are pretty basic. They toast bread, occasionally bagels, and that's about it. But the Dualit 4-Slice Toaster elevates the humble breakfast staple to new heights. This isn't your average countertop appliance; it's a toast-making machine for the discerning palate. The first thing that impressed me was the consistency. No more uneven browning or burnt edges. This toaster boasts a uniform heating system that delivers perfect golden perfection every single time. Whether you're a light-as-a-feather toasting aficionado or a deep-caramel connoisseur, the seven browning settings ensure you get your ideal shade.
Love this toaster. Cooks evenly and quickly. Perfect every time!
A superb toaster. I like this brand as they are very reliable and built to last. In fact the old 2 slot is still going. I purchased this almost by accident as the timer on my old Dualit kept getting stuck and on occasions burnt the bread. I purchased this one as a back up whilst I repaired my old toaster. Little did I know that parts for Dualit toasters are easy to source and easy to repair. Having said this, the 4 slots is a godsend and until I purchased one, I did not realise how useful this actually was, especially if you have hungry children. This 4-slot toaster does not have a rotary timer like the old 2-slot one it replaced (maybe there is less to go wrong) and the new 4-slot toaster adjusts the time taking to toast the bread depending on how hot the toaster gets so in theory you do not have to keep varying the "browning" control. It seems to work. I also like the look and feel of this toaster and it takes pride and place in my kitchen.
quite a stylish toaster, fits in well with dark worktops. Ease of use and i prefer bread toasted one side, quite expensive for a toaster but hoping this brand will last longer than previous toaster.
Old toaster went bang after an incident with an escaped currant from a bun and a teaspoon. Oops. Shame, it was great. One feature that I particularly liked was the bagel-button (toasts one side only) and I was keen that the replacement should replicate. Tough ask as it turned out, not many toasters have this function. Had to pay rather more than I’d planned, but so far not disappointed. The Dualit looks good, feels solid, has minimal but useful features, nice wide slots, takes a separately available sandwich toasting cage which is great, and toasts pretty well. Particularly like being able to lift to view without breaking the toasting cycle.Pricey but money well spent.
We have bought some rubbish toasters over the years, none of which seemed to last long. So we decided to spend more than the usual £20-25 and go for something heavier duty. This toaster is a well-built piece of engineering, not a flimsy, seemingly disposable item. The bread is evenly toasted, I love that the slots are wide enough - and automatically adjust - to take fairly big doorsteps of homemade bread. The one-sided bagel toasting feature works fine should you want it, but I especially like that you can just lift the lever to check how things are doing without interrupting the timer.One word of caution, but not a criticism: the timer knob is fairly sensitive. Where 2 may toast lightly, 3 may be darker than you would like. However, there are several degrees marked between each number on the dial, and the knob will comfortably click onto any of them. It's just a question of figuring out what you like, then remembering to reset it from whatever your kids/partner/housemate has left it at, and the toaster will reliably repeat your last experience.We've had this for over two months now, and I've a feeling it will be around for years.
Dualit Perfect Toast Technology toasts the bread evenly on both sides , the temperature dial lets you toast the bread from very light to well done. The Peek and Pop function is for checking on your toast without interrupting the cycle, this function works really well, the toaster is well constructed with a stainless steel body and a choice of colours to suit the environment. With some patience it can be cleaned, as with most toasters you have to clean it carefully and not use anything abrasive. All in all a great toaster which should last for many years. The toaster is of average size for a 2 Slice.
Toaster Shopping isn't an exciting task, but the time comes when your (random generic brand) trusty toaster finally decides to call it a day after 5 years of service. Not ideal!Some friends recommended this would be the perfect opportunity to invest in a Dualit Toaster.I'd never considered it before but I suddenly came across a wealth of positive reviews regarding the build, ease of repair and the overall amazing reputation of the brand. I'm happy to say that these reviewers weren't wrong!It is extremely easy to use, satisfyingly light weight whilst not feeling flimsy, and most importantly - it makes really good toast! I'm very appreciative of the large slots to accommodate for slightly larger slices of bread, and the fact that it covers the entire slice(s) of bread (our previous toaster always left one side of the crust slightly uncooked).Honestly, I know that you, like me, will look at the price tag and second think it. But, I would much rather purchase something that will last and do the job it was intended to do. It looks great too!
Bought as a replacement after 20 years hard use of the same model. Would have used the Dualit repair service as only the bagel and defrost buttons were broken, but decided it couldn't be much more expensive to replace it. Glad we did. Perfect, consistent toast as ever, solidly built, and looks like it should last another 20 years.... Only gripe is the design's gone a bit retro compared to the old version. Chrome suround on the lifter slot, really?
This is the best toaster I have ever purchased. It actually toasts fast enough to keep the inside of the toast lovely and soft. Sick of eating hard toast I decided to try this one after being recommended by several people.Not disappointed. Fabulous toaster. Love it.
For the price it is just about justifiable, and it does what it should.Yes you can burn toast, but experience gained reduces the risk in future use of the toaster.The look up feature is a plus as you can check how it is doing and shut it off when it is just right.I tried the sandwich additional options and they work fine, but have had to put them in the microwave a couple of times to get the cheese to melt to my satisfaction. However we are regularly using Brosch bread so it toasts and burns easy, so need to keep an eye on it to get it exactly right.
good basic design and solid manufacture. Gets the job air jobs done.
This toaster makes consistently good toast, with even browning across both sides of the bread. Simple to use.
Bought to replace identical toaster obtained 13 years ago. I just hope this one lasts as long.
