Looks stylish and makes great toast exactly how you want it. Elegant and quiet. By far the best toaster I’ve ever used. Well worth the cos
I’m extremely happy with my toaster, a bit on the pricey side but very stylish easy to operate and works well
After having owned several well known brand toasters, and basically complaining to my long suffering wife about their shortcomings, I finally bit the the bullet and bought a Dualit toaster! It met all my expectations and it really is the best toaster I have owned, not cheap but top quality.
Sturdy and simple
My second Dualit Classic
The timer tends to be the weak point after a few years of daily use
The slots may be slightly narrow if you love the thick loaves
Excellent protection film for the heating units
The I&II switch should be better in rotating type to avoid accidental switch
I’m so in love with this toaster, it’s amazing…I had 2slice one before this for over 20years, I’m hoping this lasts just as long….looks so good in my kitchen too
I have bought a Dualit toaster about 20 years ago. Its still going strong, and I love it.
Now I have a cream kitchen, so bought the cream toaster.
The high build quality meant it was impossible to consider a different brand.
If you’re considering Dualit, then just go for it. You won’t be disappointed by them.
Real statement toaster! Look great with my copper themed kitchen. Bit pricey but a good brand with good durability so happy to pay. Would recommend, looks amazing and always get compliments on it! Quite loud when toasting but who cares, makes nice toast!
Like the ability to raise the toast manually. Toasts evenly and crumb tray easy to empty.

My husband likes it but, I prefer my toast to pop up automatically! I get plenty of burnt toast as I am always on the move!!!
I thought I was buying into a maintainable toaster, having just binned two.
I’ve been surprised that it actually makes better toast too. The toast is toasted on the outside but fluffy on the inside. My previous toaster produced a more uniformly dried out piece of bread. I’m guessing the Dualit runs hotter elements to more quickly toast without drying out.
However it does it, I thought toast was toast, but no, this really does do a better job than my previous ‘cheapo’ toaster.
I would not part with the kind of money Dualit require without really reading up.
This is a brilliant piece of kit, even toasting, beautifully made and a pleasure to use. Happy to have spent it.
I bought this toaster as we had used one in a holiday cottage a few years ago. I have had several toasters which didn’t t last very long.So I took the plunge to buy the dualit hoping it will last a long time ,up to now I love it easy to clean and use.It is expensive however I am expecting it to last a while.
Treat yourself. Got to save up for the matching kettle now. I have given my old toaster to a friend, another dualit. Yes they are a lot of money, but spoil yourself.
Beautiful, Durable, and makes perfect evenly cooked toast every time. I’ve fallen in love with eating toast again, since I bought a Dualit!
Excellent toaster making perfect toast, large slots mean things like crumpets etc can be toasted with ease also. Very easy to clean with the slide out tray at the bottom. I have family members who have bought this toaster and it has lasted over 20 years so definitely worth the money!!!
It was a delight to use this toaster.
Simple but stylish design that produces toast that is evenly toasted on both sides.
Easy to clean and a boon to any kitchen.
Bought this to replace our 6th toaster (in 50’s). This is not a cheap toaster but it has good build quality, feels heavy and well put together. Part of the reason to purchase was parts are available and its straight forward to repair. Toasts evenly on both sides and takes a Warbuton slice.
From the beginning the end slots of my 4 slot unit only toasted one side of the bread. Two years in and the toaster no longer works. The timer has stuck, the unit didn’t switch off, and I assume overloaded the elements. It is repairable for a reason. It will need repair. Avoid this product.
I bought this because the Dualit architect toaster I bought five years ago no longer works and I was really surprised to find that you cannot replace the element on those toasters . So I’ve bought the old fashioned, classic Dualit so that it can be fixed if an element goes. I’m hoping I never have to buy another toaster as I don’t want to send any more to the tip ! The Dualit classic is v simple , v easy to use , looks cool in a retro way and is hopefully going to be in my kitchen for many years to come . Wish I’d bought this one rather than the architect toaster five years’ ago
British product, classic styling. One of the few toasters on the market that toasts the whole slice (most have slots that are too shallow for modern loaves). Unfortunately, the “bagel” one sided toasting is only available on the 4+ slot version which was not made clear in the marketing blurb so I was a little disappointed to discover my 2 slot version couldn’t do this. I love the knob mechanism for raising the slices – you can do this to check progress, too – no toast pinging out on to the floor for the dog to snaffle!
Well worth the extra few quid. So good a toaster.
Just be careful when utilising only 3 of the 4 slots, as the 3rd slot toast will likely cook more than the other 2
Love the shadow and design of this classic little toaster but find the only drawback is that the outer casing becomes very hot when toasting.

Brilliant, makes the best toast of any toaster I have owned over the last 40 years, and it is simply repairable if it fails. Brilliant b it of Kitchen ki
This is awesome, it well designed and built like a tank. It makes encouraging noises as it browns your bread. It is a Rolls Royce product. It is special.

I didn’t realise that the company that makes this machine made the one my mother had in the 60s. I’m sure this one will last as long and give me the control I want.
I love this toaster. It looks great and as the parts can be replaced it is good for the planet too. Solid basic construction, no unnecessary knobs or dials and just one crumb tray which is easy to clean and remove. Great evenly browned toast. Love the fact you can raise toast to see if its done yet. Would highly recommend.
Classic design , I’ve used one at work and loved it wanted one for home use , consistent in toasting and you can get spare parts , you might find it expensive but it is worth it .
Best of all it’s made in Britain quality craftsmanship with the persons name on the bottom .

After years of buying ‘cheap’ toasters which either didn’t last long or made brittle toast decided to invest in this. Best decision- makes great toast and is simple to use. Only drawback is that some large sliced bread is too big but as I mainly buy small loaves I don’t see this as an issue. There is no automatic pop up facility when finished but I find this helps to keep the toast warm until I’m ready to use the manual pop up.
Love this type of toaster, much quicker than conventional toasters. Crumbs collect in tray at the bottom, unlike other toasters which seem to get everywhere.
Where to start, this toaster is brilliant… Then again, it’s expensive. For the price you would hope it does a lot more than just toast things, but you’re out of luck, it is literally a toaster.
The toast that comes out of this is fantastic though and perfectly toasted. I would 100% buy this again, if you are looking for a premium toaster with replaceable parts, this is the best there is!
Great durable toaster. You can not only replace heating elements but also the timer too. I like it’s UK made and can be repaired. It’s a classic that looks really stylish.
This toaster does what it says on the tin
Have toasted bread muffins and crumpets so far with excellent results
The lever which you can lift to see if the toast is done to your liking is useful
Highly recommend
bought to replace delonghi that was very poor despite being highly rated.
Works very well and quite fast.
Not cheap but highly recommend
Simple, robust, involving, no electronics and repairable and makes really good toast !

It’s a trifle bulky but it really works. Gives better all over toast than our previous Sage The Smart 4 and will hopefully be more resilient (that lasted 4 months being used twice a week before fusing the whole house!). Very easy to use as long as you read the directions.
Relatively expensive but seems to be of quality construction and looks good.

Someone is always going to say, “you can buy a perfectly good toaster for a tenner.” And they’ll be right!
It’s very nice though and makes good toast, and hopefully will last. It costs too much if we’re all being honest with eachother, but I don’t regret buying it.
Works perfectly every time
Would recommend looks and it’s great looking too- super pleased
Had this make and model of toaster for years. This cream one is lovely. However still has the same wobbly crumb tray at the bottom.

Great classic design purchased at a good price… much better than the budget toasters that ho to landfill after a few years

I researched and waited to buy a dualit when my last toaster broke, I was a bit wary due to cost, but glad I bought it. It does feel you need a bit of time to get used to it. As it’s like going back in time with manual dials and the toast does not pop up when finished as stays down to keep warm. But the toast is brilliant and fits all the big sliced toasts too so there is no gap left and evenly toasts as required. With a 4 slice toaster you can either do 2 or 4 using a switch to alternate. Cleaning is easy with a removable tray. Matches my dualit kettle so was worth the wait.
Makes the bread nice and crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Doesn’t burn either.
Well built English product which does what it says on the ti
Very good quality product, as you would expect at this price point. Takes a few days to get the ideal setting, regarding what colour of toast you prefer. Feels like it will last a lifetime.
Love this. Looks good and works good. British made. What is not to like?
What can I say? It’s Dualit…. replacing a very old, past mending similar model… it’s almost family- and visitor -proof and worth the money – the old one out-lived many, often replaced, toasters owned by other members of the family.
Elements last well, but when they do eventually wear out, unlike most toasters, they are easily replaced with available spare parts.
Doubt I will need to at my age, but I’d buy another if this one wears out.
Best toaster ever – have had mine for 25 years and bought this for present. You can replace every part. Amazing price compared to JL
Beautiful machine, makes excellent toast. Plenty of room for big bread, very handy that you can lift the bread to check. Toast is crisp outside without being dried out like in cheap toasters. Very satisfying piece of equipment overall.

quality is apparent
have toasted sliced bread in our existing toaster and then later a good quality bagel in the Dualit
the dualit cooked slower through the product rather than quick surface toasting in our original toaster
so far so encouraging
liked the fact that the toasted bagel remained in the warm toaster ready for use
slots good width, toasting both sides
I makes toast fast but well cooked and yet soft. Just as I like it.
Great toaster. As soon as I started toasting the toast, ah the smell, it’s proper toast smell that took me back years.
Very pleased I paid out for this design classic. It’s old school and clunky.
This is a beautifully made, sturdy toaster. It operates differently to your normal pop-up toasters so it might take some getting use to. It toasts quicker than regular models so you end up with a toast that’s crisp on the outside and soft in the middle which I very much prefer. This is a product that will last a lifetime if you look after it and the manufacturer provides spare parts in case it needs fixing down the line.
Its what you pay for and we love it 🙂
I already had a dualit classic and loved it. This was an extravagant replacement bought only for the colour to match other products in my kitchen and still love it.

Probably the best toaster money can buy. Robust and fool proof.
Quality product – there are lots of toasters out there but others just make toast – this one makes you smile .Its like comparing a Ford Fiesta with a Morgan or Aston Martin both do the same thing but the Dualit does it with style.
Amazing my nan love it’s its so much its way better then our old one so amazing
This was a replacement for the original model I have had for 25 years elements changed two or three times – new model has wider slots so hence the purchase no reason not to expect the same performance – my old one still working.

After having many toasters over the years, Dualit beats the lot —Perfect toast each time.
This is our second Dualit toaster, we had the other one for over 10 years. So I am confident that this will be just as good.
Entirely reliable, simple to use and consistent in toasting quality.
This was a replacement for the same model I d had for a long time. Speaks for itself.
I used to have a 4 slice Dualit toaster which was very good but people kept putting in 2 slices while having it switched to heat 4 so I bought this 2 slicer which should work very well for my purposes.

Nice toaster and it cooks the toast ok, the tray underneath is very cheap looking. I bought the kettle so it all matched but wished I’d bought the SMEG one. It looks ok but not worth 200

The toaster came on time, works well and looks great. I also got the sandwich toasting addition and that has been a great success. At the end of the day it is just a toaster and it’s pretty expensive…but I’m very happy with it.

Fabulous toasting and stylish to look at – we’ll worth the money.
The build quality is making, no electronics, just mechanical timer and leavers.
Looks fantastic, easy to empty the crumb tray.
It’s expensive and tbh, over priced but unfortunately, hand made quality items costs.
The most important thing, it makes great toast, evenly browned and quite quick.
It has the name of the person on the bottom that assembled the toaster, so Faith, if your reading this, thanks for your craftsmanship.
Bought to replace a very old one. Good value, looks pretty and works amazingly well.
