Dualit 2 Slice Lite Toaster | 1.1kW Toasts 60 Slices an Hour | Polished with High Gloss Black Trim | Bagel & Defrost Settings | 36 mm Wide Slots | 26205

Nice looking toaster that fits in well with our kitchen decor. I used another brand for 10 years and decided to give this a go, and pleased we did. Simple to use. It is faster than our previous and toasts evenly without drying out the bread. Crumpets heat through with good results. Hope it lasts. Highly recommended.

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.

I've lost count at the number of toasters I've got through over the years, some fancy, some basic, some would warm, some defrost, some with a stainless steel case, some plastic but they all have had one thing in common, they didn't toast.... ... And only realised none of them toasted since last year when the dualit arrived..... all this time i've put up with machines that just don't work. Its an odd thing to try and describe, I can't put my finger on any particular reason why the dualit is different other than to comment that since it's sat neatly on the worktop its been used several times everyday whereas before the toaster would rarely be used more than once a fortnight. Perhaps some plus points might help to describe why its a proper toaster. * It takes most sizes of bread ( from Morrisons instore multigrain to sainsbury's batch - both huge slices) * controls are simple, somewhat retro but feel good and they work * consistent results which enables more accurate settings from my memory * Toasted sandwiches in toaster bags - slots wide enough to take a decent filling Having had the machine for nearly a year it has not stopped making great toast and has been 100% reliable. In operation, each slot has a sprung bread holder which widens if you prefer toasted doorsteps (or sandwiches / half a currant bun).. to check the toast whilst 'cooking' just pull up the lever... the elements stay on. the rotary dial for each half is marked from 1 to 8 , and there are four steps between each number (which suggest there are 28 different settings - (theres no 0)) in the centre of the rotary dial is a cancel button. the other two buttons are for defrost and one that only operates one side of the element - if you like your toast half done. It's light and immediately out of the box this gave me the impression of not the best build quality.... though as soon as the controls are used its quality seems better and after a year I can't fault it..... other than I couldn't find the crumb tray for a while and was convinced I had to hold the unit upside down & shake it to get the bits out... I should have read the instructions!

Great toaster. It lasted just over 6 years before it stopped working - it then began tripping the RCD.

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.

Appareil avec prise européenne. Adaptateur fourni. J’ai eue à payé la douane. Ai voulue retourner l’appareil, mais le retour ce faisait en Grande Bretagne. Il m’en coutait 127$ de livraison, sans aucun suivi et aucune garantie que je me ferais rembourser. J’ai donc gardé le grille pain. J’aurais pu l’acheter ici en magasin. Très déçu. Il n’y aura pas de prochaine fois.
