Review on Dualit 20293 2 Slice Toaster Chrome by Barry Taylor

Prepare a little adventure for your morning ritual. Dualit brings back the pleasure of making toast in the morning. Everything is handmade so you can create your toast exactly the way you prefer. Sound too old fashioned? That. This is how toast should be made. Too simple? Yes, big things are often the simplest. Too much effort? Not really. There is a manual lever for raising and lowering the toast. Everything else is a simple 4 minute timer that you set depending on how cooked you want it to be. That's all there is. You also choose how many trays 1-4 (on a 4-disc machine) to heat. There is also a Bagel + Defrost mode. There is a certain charm to using the Dualit because it takes us back to the simpler days when turning a dial would reward you with a reassuring 'click'. and because the timer ticks quietly in the background and then turns off when it hits zero, there's no running to grab a toast or go crazy with the bells. The heating element will turn off and your toast will stay warm inside the toaster until you lift the lever. no rush. The Dualit Toaster looks great - like a trophy - on the countertop. And rewards you with the delicious crunch of butter of yesteryear, when breakfast was more of a treat than something to swallow and commit suicide. UPDATE: 5.24.21 Still working fine! Durable, reliable. Built like a tank. I have ordered a replacement clock and heater plates for future repairs if one is ever needed. YouTube videos make it easy. Like the good old days when you could fix it and not throw it away. I also polished the chrome parts, especially the top where the cuts go in. This area has faded a bit after a few months of use, but polishing has made it look like new again.
