doesn’t get much better than a dualit toaster-makes perfect toast nice and fast, with ‘peek&pop” riser mechanism and bagel and frozen settings. i like the dualit sandwich toaster cage (extra) which makes this a great all-rounder.
Quality product. Bought as a gift and recipient very happy.!
Excellent , practical and stylish toaster of high quality . Easier to clean than most and easy to set to get right frozen bread or otherwise. Best toaster I’ve ever had for a good price
Love it, crumpets fit perfectly.
I also bought the sandwich racks too, and they work brilliantly, if you just like a lightly toasted/grilled sandwich.
Visually it looks so much more than a toaster… which it is.
Perfect product from my Grandparents, they are very happy with it and like that they can do their toast both at the same time!
Enjoying using this sturdy toaster, hoping it will be as durable as the one my hisbands parents had in the 80s
Can take very thick bread and even sandwiches however it is not overly deep so it does not evenly toast particularly tall bread (like the homemade we are fond of)
Read lots of toaster reviews before settling on this one.
It browns toast evenly no matter what the thickness of the bread.
The bagel function is useful too and it looks good.
Overall very pleased with it.
This was a replacement toaster. My other one claimed by my son still in working order had it 8years
Great toaster, best i’ve had so far, does my toast perfect!
Worth every penny and best to buy the separate grill trays for delicious toasted sandwiches.
Perfect toast after a few attempts to get the right settings and quicker than normal decorative but really inferior products.
fast and flexible when toasting all sorts of bread . Ability to check progress without stopping cycle is a bonus.
Great toaster abit pricey but looks fantastic in my kitche
This is a great toaster. It toasts evenly over the bread slice, and the controls are very easy to manage. It also enables me to make toasted sandwiches with the optional sandwich cage. Very impressive. Not the cheapest toaster, but very good value for money.
An excellent toaster in both design and quality. Looks really good and does the job.
My last Dualities toaster I inherited when we took over a catering business. We were there 18 years and it was used daily. When we left the business was being disbanded so we took it with us. It gave up the ghost another SIXTEEN years later. What’s more to say?
These toasters are not cheap but it is very easy to use and looks great.
I would recommend after years of buying 10 toasters from the supermarket that don’t last the year!
We were very impressed with the robust and sturdy look and feel of the toaster. It looks to be of very good quality. We were particularly enthusiastic over the separate browning controls for the two sets of toast slots — that is quite helpful for us as we like different levels of browning.
We also liked the separate ‘bagel’ control for toasting hot cross buns and tea cakes; with our old toaster is was difficult to set it just right.
In short, we can see no cons. We are very pleased with our purchase and would most definitely recommend to new customers.
Although perhaps more expensive than other makes we were happy to support a British business, especially when the quality was to such a high standard.
Having bought it, my breakfast-time has been transformed – gone are the hard crispy rounds of toast that I’ve become used to – instead lovely evenly browned toast WITH NICE SOFT WARM BREAD INSIDE. Just like the toast I’ve eaten in decent hotels but never managed to recreate at home.
Now it’s sorted – I recommend this toaster wholeheartedly.
If I was looking for faults, the width of the slots could do with an extra 5mm or so to accommodate ‘normal’ sized sliced bread – which occasionally needs to be ‘jiggled’ to drop down into the toaster – but a small price to pay for genuinely delicious toast.
We had an old style Dualit toaster, the ones that don’t pop up. I really hated it – it was so bad, it burnt one side, but left other side undercooked, and I hated the whole twisty timer bit. This however is fantastic. Love the bagel setting and the setting for frozen bread. And I don’t worry about my house burning down!
Bought this to upgrade from our 2 slot Dualit toaster that we have been using most days for 13 years. Still keeping the old one for travel purposes in the UK.
I really like the Dualit brand, the products are very modern, classy and tasteful, they are very high quality which is what I like. produces perfect toast every time, quick to heat so your toast if done fast.
Robust, takes 4 lots of toast – so my husband and I can make our own toast at the same time. Toasts evenly, can put thicker items in eg teacakes etc. Easy to clean (crumb tray pulls out from bottom). We get through toasters quite quickly, partly because we cut our own bread etc, and thicker slices can come in contact with elements. Haven’t had this problem with this toaster as toasting slots are a generous size, so hopefully it will last.
It its with a very sad heart that i have to say that after five years since I’ve purchased my toaster, that it has decided to leave me behind and go to toaster heaven! However it has served me wonderfully over the last 5 years and I loved every toast that came out of it! Wonderful product will buy again!
This is the third toaster we have purchased recently, the others were sent back as either faulty or poor quality , yes its fairly pricey but so far extremely pleased.
More than happy with this toaster. Browns evenly and quickly, what more could you want?
Hey, this is just a fabulous piece of equipment for any kitchen. Possibly the best bagel setting I have ever experienced, and undoubtedly worth the money.
Love this toaster. Gets fingerprints on Chrome so needs regular polishing.
This is our second Dualit toaster. The colour matches our kitchen perfectly it’s an off white colour. Easy to use, the lift up is great to keep an eye on your perfect toast colour preference. Easy to clean, great design and made in the UK
Looks amazing and feels real quality. Not had it more than a week but so far it is great.
Bought this with matching kettle as a better deal. Dualit are expensive so getting it cheaper helped
It’s all in the name , the price reflects
But this is a good toaster
Looks good
Good all round toaster easy to use looks good & I understand home grown what more to say
It was an easy choice to replace our ageing Dualit toaster which has given us years of great service with essentially the same model. Good looks, consistent and reliable performance and large enough to accommodate a range of breads and sizes – straight from the freezer if necessary.
Bought for daughter’s student flat as looked a robust bit of kit and everyone was apparently dying from lack of toast. It’s been very well received
It looks great and still does its job. It is convenient and if you combine it with the sandwich cages it ticks so many boxes. Love i
I bought this to replace a Dualit which we have had
for about 15 years and in that time worked very well
until it decided to pack up. Bought this Dualit 46205
4 slot toaster because apart from toasting bread you
can also toast bagels which was a bonus for us. I would
recommend this to anyone looking for a versatile toaster.
Cracking toaster, looks good and delivers perfect toast every time
Best toaster we’ve ever owned. Looks great, stylish, & yes makes great toast. 5 *****
Well made not the cheapest toaster but great quality and very attractive
Looks and performs well, not had any issues with i
So far so good. Easy to use and clean. Once you’ve set toast preferences to liking, can be left at that setting. Can toast 2 pieces differently at same time. Like the ability to check toast midway, without having to start again.
First product arrived faulty, it only toasted on one side. Amazing customer service which replaced the item straight away next business day. Replacement item received and worked perfectly. Quick easy and great build quality, highly recommend and would definitely purchase again.
Bought as a gift to replace my Mother’s old toaster that gave up the ghost when I visited.
She has phone e up 3 times to say how much she loves it.
Golden boy
If you know someone who loves toast, or you do and you have 3+ at a time, like me… This is worth buying. Buy it, treat yourself, you will not regret it.
Gives good toast. Soft on the inside but crispy on the outside.
Great retro look and uncomplicated to use product. It’s well made to last!
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.
Oue second Dualit toaster. The first one we threw away before finding out that, spares are available. This one is working well.
My previous toaster was the Dualit 4 slot so I new it would be a good buy
So beautiful and the colour is an off white which matches my kitchen units. So pleased with i
I have had many cheaper toasters which either ubevenly cook the toast or half the bread sticks out of the top and never gets. Toasted. Or slots are too narrow for thick slices of bread
Smart and stylish on the worktop, perfect results with everything we’ve tried toasting which includes thick and thin bread, crumpets & tea cakes so far. Each double slot side can be independently set to preference and product. Certainly speeds up breakfast. Just be aware this four slot model is pretty huge in it’s footprint.
I purchased one of these from Amazon in 2012 and it is still going strong. Every other toaster I have ever purchased has given up the ghost within a few years. Well worth paying that little extra for!
A lovely looking toaster very impressive it’s for a Christmas present so can’t comment on the quality of the toas
Awesome toaster, I have the coffee grinder of the same make and decided to trust this manufacturer. Bought the the double pack sandwich cage as well and works brilliantly together.Highly recommended
The toaster looks great in my kitchen. More important: it makes toast that tastes like it’s done under a gas grill: crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I also love its ‘bagel’ setting, where you can toast things like bagels and teacakes just on the one side–so no more choosing between under-toasted or incinerated top and bottom!
A very good product that actually seems to work as expected. Our old (and very faithful) toaster had become a little temperamental so it was time to change. We ordered, and tried, three different replacement toasters before finding this Dualit model. The other models were very poor performers and simply didn’t seem to do what they were built to do, i.e. toes a slice of bread. This Dualit is well built; looks great; easy to use and gives a very even toasted slice of bread. We’re keeping this one…..
I really love my new toaster, bought the sandwich cages too, saved having to have a toastie machine. Quite cool to the touch, today’s quickly and evenly
Purchased this as just refitted our kitchen and had extra worktop space for my husbands desired 4 slice toaster! Great toaster which is nice and quick (unlike our previous one). Toasts bread nice and evenly and looks lovely on our worktop.
Great looking toaster the only problem i have is if i put the toast down to fast it trips the electric, my fault not the toaster, great for bagels and crumpets
Good Toaster, arrived day after ordering. I have tested out different breads,muffins ect,they have all come upto better expectations than I thought they may have done. All in all so far I’m a happy toaster owner.
Brilliant. Time will tell if it is durable. Bit pricey for a toaster, but cheaper one’s have proved to be rubbish. Amazing that such old, simple technology is so often fouled up and to get reasonable quality one has to pay so much…
Brilliant toaster – toasts bread just as you’d expect but the lift up handles so you can check progress without stopping the process is great. It also looks great and is very well made.
However the number of times you are told to unplug when not in use is very alarming; it is even engraved on the toaster! I know we won’t do this all the time and I’m sure we are not the only ones. If this is truly a safety issue it should be resolved and not passed on to the consumer as their responsibility
great toaster easy to use buttons, and takes a whole piece of sliced bread
So pleased with this toaster, looks great and has simple but useful functionality too. Great toast this morning, the pop up function is really useful as we get used to the settings.
Super toaster, looks very very expensive (although it wasn’t).
Browns evenly, and the bun rack which I bought separately, is particularly useful. When I defrost rolls from the freezer they are always soggy, with the bun rack they crisp up again perfectly.
I’ve had so many toasters I thought I would give this one a go.THE PRICE WAS GOOD ..itis a nice looking machine and great rich cream colour..so far it’s doing a good job..easy to use and clea
Had this toaster for a few days now and like it’s appearance and functionality. Seems to require the 7 setting for equally browned toast which is pushing it a bit!. Anything less than 7 and the toast is underdone, suppose it had still been underdone at 8? Nice looking bit of kit but if it is indeed made in Britain why don’t they boast about it?
Great toaster. Toasts perfectly. I find the look option useful though I don’t use it that often.
The wide slots are great.
The crumb tray seems to catch almost all crumbs so it works very well!
Looks amazing and makes fantastic toast. Best of all its got the word Dualit on it – and I could afford it!!!!
Best bit is the leavers which are just like the original Dualit – so you can lift up the toast to check on it.
Excellent toaster. Bought to replace a short-lived toaster, and this one is going strong so far. The feature where you can lift the toast to see how it’s doing, whilst toasting is still in progress is very useful. Ditto the ‘bagel’ setting which lets you toast just the inside of the slice. Well made and shouls last for years (I hope!).
I gave this as a present to a friend so I can’ t vouch for the long term use, however out the box it looked very impressive in design, solid and retro. It fitted perfectly with the owners kitchen. It did make perfect toast on the occasion that I tried it. Italao can cope with bagels and buns which is the main reason I bought this.
Took me a while to choose a toaster and I am happy with this. Toasts evenly, fast enough, consistent. I like the sandwich cages for toasting small items like slices of baguette
It is a little hard to clean as there is a ridge between the chrome and the colour finish so crumbs stick in there.
You don’t always noticed it has finished as the bread stays in the toaster rather than pops up (use the levers to pop it up) but it stays warmer that way
They are very good and having four slots both of us can have our toast at the same time. The lift up levers are very useful. The bagel button and the defrost one are also very useful
This 4 slice toaster replaced a old two slice unit we have had for years. Works very well with even browning. Bagle feature specially useful at this time of year for hotcross buns!
Nobody gave us a toaster for our wedding, so we finally decided to buy our own. We have been married 28 years! This 4 slice toaster from Dualit is both a joy to look at and a joy to use. The controls feel solid and well made with an overall impression of quality. Some reviewers have said it only toasts on one side. I wonder if they have accidentally pressed the bagel button which is designed to only toast the insides of a sliced bagel. We love it.
This is expensive but works well! I love being able to lift the toast to check it without popping it and having to restart the toast cycle!
one of the best christmas presents bought, the presentaion of the packaging is wonderful. It looks better in person and after playing around with the knobs n buttons, feels very good quality
This combined everything for me – the colour, style & design I wanted, the wide slots I needed for versatility (I also bought the sandwich cage).
Have only used it for normal toast to date but a good result each time.
Well packaged and timely delivery.
A great looking toaster. Nice wide slots so you can do sliced rolls, makes excellent toast. Bought Dualit because I was so happy with my hand mixer and because of their excellent reputation.
Always wanted a dualit so when old toaster suddenly bit the dust & i had small win on Premium Bonds decided to treat myself. Bought from Amazon Warehouse & a bit wary when it said ‘used’, would it arrive full of old crumbs? No need to worry, this toaster is a thing of beauty as it sits on my worktop and is in sparkling new condition yet 20 cheaper. It is quite large & don’t regret the expense for this beautiful yet practical, mere toaster. Would recommend to anyone. About to buy the sandwich toaster cage now from warehouse. Well recommended toaster & Amazon Warehouse. Also arrived beautifully packed & very quickly. Well done all round.
Incidentally, i almost forgot to say, it also makes delicious toast.
Great looking toaster, thought Dualit were the best however although it looks great old white plastic Curry’s cheapo probably toasted better… But looks good 🙂
I chose this particular toaster after extensive research on the web. I didn’t want to pay a fortune but, neither was I looking at the lower priced models in the market. Whilst looks are one of the features you might consider as important, performance has to rank somewhere near the top of the reasons for choosing a particular make/model. In my research, I found there was a common problem/complaint with toasters that was cropping up time and time again, and that was of inconsistent and uneven browning. It seems that whilst the first commercial electric toasters have been around since c1910, the technology to produce a consistent evenness of browning on your slice of bread has demonstrated very little progress. During these 100 years we have sent men to the moon, discovered many new subatomic particles, travelled to the depths of the oceans and discovered distant galaxies billions of light years from earth but, we still cannot make a machine that will give us an even toasted slice of bread, each and every time.
So why do I give it 4 stars you ask. Maybe because it’s probably one of the better toasters around, after sadly accepting their inherent inability to do consistently what they are designed to do.
what can i say before this i could only toast big bread by cutting off the crusts. now all my troubles are so far away…unless i want to eat Scottish plain then I still need to shave 5mm off the crust to get it to fit. Only tiny criticism is that I think it dries the breas out compared to my old toaster which made nice toast even with medium slice…this one is better with thick slide for toas
A bit pricey for a toaster but in my opinion – well worth it ! We are very pleased with the quality of this product and delivers perfect toast every time. We have had mend toasters over the years and I think this is probably the best we have had
Well done Amazon for sorting out my return very prompt and efficient. Wonderful service cannot fault.
I am so very pleased with this new Dualit toaster. Much lighter than the traditional Dualit and matches the chrome and red kettle perfectly. I bought the kettle earlier this year and was worried they would not match, knowing Dualit I should not have worried!
Needed and new toaster and kettle, so decided to buy this with the matching kettle. Wanted to try the more expensive end of the market for this equipment for a change. Huge toaster and slightly small kettle, but the toaster is great!!! They look lovely, but more importantly they work well. Bought the sandwich toastie cages to slot inside, which has gone down well with the family!!!
Let me just start by saying I absolutely love Dualit products. But this toaster is definitely something else! I’ll tell you one thing, it’s not for the faint hearted! And I am talking about its size. When I ordered it online, I didnt quite realize the massive size! So when I opened the package I was a little shocked but also pleasantly surprised. It is a beautiful, vibrant red. Let me tell you, though. You need a lot of counter space for this one. That’s as far as its looks go. As for the way it works, it is perfection. It has two handles so you can work the two sets of toasters separately. If you need four slices of bread you hit them all, otherwise you only work half of the toaster which is impressive. The crumb drawer is also excellent for easy upkeep and cleaning. The bagel function is great if you are a bagel fan like me and the defrost feature is also very handy. This toaster also turns into a quick and easy sandwhich maker if you add those little sandwich cages. Brilliant buy, well worth its money!
The big bro to this toaster is of course a design classic and is made perfect by the fact that you can replace parts (timers and elements seem to fail most often). Even armed with this information I preferred the look and price point of this toaster!! It has had a major positive effect on my life,,,, I am an Architect and single parent (busy and broke). This toaster has shaved significant time off my week. My 15 year old can make toasted sandwiches (no chance of getting him to sit down and eat) and breakfast is wizzy quick!! I can feed both of them on a budget and with minimum fuss. The key winning point of this piece of kit is the awesome sandwich cages,,, which should be included!! Here is a HOT tip,,,,, microwave your sandwich for 30 secs/1 min before toasting them,,,, this could bring back the toasted sandwich in a big way,,, no mess easy clean (forget the Breville and those bad old days!!). I have also (re)discovered bagels,,, the bagel function really does make them taste better.
On the negative side,,,, Dualit have missed a massive trick in not making the elements and timer replaceable because I feel that failure of these parts is inevitable. For example a bit of bread from a sandwich found its way to the element the other day which lead to alot of smoke, a bright blue POP and a blown fuse! Luckily the element was ok,,,, this time! I am sure with a tweak or two they could make these parts replaceable,,, if they did they would have a superstar,,,,, as it is it is a bit of a shooting start,,, great but will I’m sure die in a blaze of glory and a bigger bright blue flash!!
It makes toast – just like it should. And bagels, buns etc come out just right too.
Not much else to say. It’s a toaster. It toasts. Dualit 46205 4 Slot Lite Toaster in Black Finish
Not only does this toaster look good,it is sturdy and built for purpose. The deforst function is excellent, as I tend to keep most of my bread in the freezer. It toasts thin to nice fat chunky home cut slices evenly, whether you like a pale or darker slice. It is a perfect fit for crumpets, muffins and the like. The crumb catching tray is easy to remove, clean and slides back in with ease. I especially like the function, which enables you to toast 2 slices without having all the slots on. All in all I have found it to be an excellent toaster and would recomend to anyone thinking of buying it.
