[Misc] Are Dualit toasters worth the money?

[Billy the Fish]

They're definitely worth it. I wouldn't go back to a budget brand now I'm used to proper toast and crumpets.

Sadly my two year old wrecked one side of mine by putting a spoon in it

Worth every penny. I've had my Dualit 4 slice for at least 15 years, and have used it every day. The only issue I've had was when the dial wore about 5 years ago, but I got a replacement from Dualit no problem. That's the thing about them, every part can be replaced and so they won't be going into landfil after 18 months.

Their design is absolutely classic and like the Land Rover were made to take advantage of the post-war aircraft aluminium mountain Britain suddenly had.

I hope it doesn't disappoint, only taken [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] 3 years to decide

Yes and no.

Our existing (nearly 20-year old) toaster is still functional but getting less so all the time. The pop-up no longer works so I have to fish toast out with a knife and the browning settings only work occasionally. I was slightly loathe to replace something that was working, as I hope I said at some point above, but feel I can justify it now, particularly at this price.

Will the 30 'inspirational quote magnetic bookmarks' be affixed on the steel toaster?

If not, they could be still be used with pop-up books.

Go on then, show us yours, Mr Grumpy.

Guess you missed all me smileys then f*ckwit?

Just for you, I'll paint a verbal picture of me toaster: it's sort of silvery, with two slots in the top, black handle and little dial on the side. Insert bread in slots on top, pull handle down, wait a minute or two or maybe even three as per little dial and - hey presto! - up pops TOAST! Think it cost about £9.99 out of Argos

Did you ever buy that teeny tiny lickle dolls house telly?

Or do we have to wait 3 years for an update on that too.

 

[Wozza]

I see they're £120 again (with a wait).

Happy with your purchase, Bozza?

Dualit are alright, but not a patch on a Hatco

It's because of threads like this that NSC should have its own voice recognition search engine.

Feeding a small army here, not an ACTUAL army.

Yes, yes we did.

As predicted, it felt absolutely ginormous when we first got it, but doesn't any more. That said, I still don't think we'd want any bigger than 55".

 

[Bozza]

Indeed...

Finally taken the plunge as Amazon have them for £120 down from the £200 they are pretty much everywhere else

Link if anyone else wants to spend too much on a toaster > https://amzn.to/3vFE7Ki

...I had £50 worth of Amazon vouchers from Christmas, so it feels a good deal for £70 cash. It's not turned up yet, but I can see two other NSCers ordered one yesterday too. Anyone got theirs yet?

 

[Stat Brother]

Yes, yes we did.

If only you were warned about shrinkage.

 

[Bozza]

If only you were warned about shrinkage.

As I said above, people were absolutely correct. But also as above, three months on, I'd not want a bigger one!

The heartbreak of tv shrinkage to a size requiring a bigger one is part of the buying 'experience'.

 

[Machiavelli]

Excellent.....I have to say if they last a long time I’d buy one ...I’ve tended to buy cheap and ended up replacing it every 18 months or so

Think we've had ours for about 20 years. Still going strong. Still looking good. Only had to replace a part once in that time.

We also found replacing parts (filaments IIRC in our case) easy with them.
