Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Dualit 2-Slice Toaster, Metallic Blue

Customer Review: A functional design icon what more could an appliance offer?
Summary: 5 Stars

The Dualit toaster manages to combine form and function quite brilliantly. It is robust, easy to use and fast. In fact it can manage around 120 slices per hour, enough even for the most demanding of breakfast guests (and their ravenous families). Each slice will be beautiful done, elegantly dispatched and delivered with a minimum of fuss. In that way it is very North European. You can see why the Germans or the British would love this machine. It's functional. I guess that's why you see it in sandwich shops all over Europe, toasting away beside industrial looking espresso machines left over from an age before Starbucks.

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.

Description of Dualit 2-Slice Toaster, Metallic Blue

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
