Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Dualit Classic 2-Slice Toaster, Charcoal

Customer Review: I love the smell of toast in the morning
Summary: 5 Stars

My Dualit however sits proudly among an array of kitchen goodies - deserving of the ultimate accolade - a socket from which it is never unplugged. Cappuccino machines may be there for display only, kettles may be plugged in and out but few are the appliances that are given their own `personal' socket. It looks great. Retro 50s chrome with just a hint of Italy about its styling, just a touch of Latin eccentricity around its lock and load mechanism. If this were a car it would be a classic Alfa Romeo - neat, good to look at fast, fast and surprisingly practical come the weekend.

Features - well there are a few. I went for the 28mm slots - which basically means it takes the thick wedges of bread that cut for myself every day and swallows them with a reassuring thunk. I didn't go for the energy saving `black heat' option - mainly because black and toast sit together badly in my breakfast vocabulary. I'm sure it works though. There's no `pop up' to terrify my somewhat skittish cats either. The toast stays in the machine until you decide to take it out. Great for those who like to use the two minute toasting time to do something else - whatever that may be. Perhaps I'm odd but I tend to find myself out of the kitchen whenever toast is ready. Maybe the designers had the same problem.

Rather a long review for rather a simple item then - but I do love it in a way that perhaps too strong. It looks great, is a model of reliability and serves up comfort food whenever the rain lashes at the windows and a DVD flickers into life on my TV. It's a great toaster - you should have one.

Description of Dualit Classic 2-Slice Toaster, Charcoal

The key to Dualit's exceptionally even browning is the toaster's system of patented ProHeat elements, a series of flat bars behind a smooth, transparent coating. The result is an efficient, durable design, suitable for everything from brioche to sandwiches. The elements are encased by a rugged, stainless-steel housing that you may not even recognize as a relative of its lightweight, plasticky peers. Each slot measures 28 mm wide and is extra deep to allow for the use of the Dualit sandwich cage (sold separately). One adjustable leg accommodates uneven surfaces and rubberized feet protect your countertop.

The Dualit toaster has manually operated functions and is designed for people who like to engage with their appliances. Operation is simple but rewarding. A rocker switch selects 1- or 2-slice toasting, and a 4-minute timer knob lets you fine-tune browning time. Instead of a pop-up function that can prematurely cool toast, the unit comes with an ejector knob that you raise when you're ready for it. For bigger households or busy kitchens, the company also makes 3- and 4-slice models. All Dualit toasters come with a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
