What customers say
Users overwhelmingly value the Dualit toaster for its exceptional build quality and enduring design. Its commercial grade construction signals a long term kitchen investment, strongly supported by the ability to replace individual heating elements, promoting longevity. While the initial cost is high, many feel the superior durability and repairability justify the premium price. Performance is noted for delivering consistently even browning, even on thick breads. A minor drawback cited is the toasting speed compared to faster models. Ultimately, customers prioritize this craftsmanship and lasting quality over immediate savings.
Know before you buy
The slots are 28 mm wide, which is significantly wider than standard toasters. They comfortably accommodate thick-cut artisan bread, bagels, and even Dualit’s optional sandwich cages.
When you select the bagel setting, the toaster activates only the inner heating elements. This toasts the cut side of your bagel while gently warming the outer crust.
Yes, the Dualit New Generation is designed for longevity. Unlike most modern appliances, individual parts like the ProHeat elements and timers can be replaced by a professional, significantly extending the life of the unit.
No, this model uses a manual ejector lever. The toast stays inside the machine to keep warm until you manually lift the lever to retrieve it.
Every unit is hand-built in the UK. This assembly process is part of what makes the toaster durable and allows for its modular, repairable design.
The toaster features a removable crumb tray located at the base. It is recommended to slide this out and empty it regularly to prevent burnt crumbs from affecting the flavor of your toast.
