Dualit 4-Slice Toaster Review

I have mixed feelings about this item.So much so that I put off reviewing it for a long time.I've owned mine over a year now, and it is time to speak up.

On the one hand, I really want to like it.And not just because I spent a good sized hunk of cash on it.I like the idea of an industrial, commercial-grade toaster that makes great toast, is indestructible, and looks great doing it.

On the other hand, I kind of don't like it.It takes up a lot of space, the slots aren't wide enough for a bagel, or deep enough for a wide piece of bread.I had to buy the optional sandwich cages to allow me to stuff bread into the slots that wouldn't otherwise fit.It needs to be preheated, and even after it is, the toast is inconsistent and uneven.

It does look great on the counter, and feels very heavy-duty.But, it just isn't very good at making toast, and that is supposed to be the point.

Sadly, I don't think I would buy this again.

Product Description:
The Dualit toaster is outstanding in the field, not just for its industrial retro good looks, but also for its performance. It has ProHeat elements and wide slots capable of handling very thick slices, yet the adjustable wire guards will accommodate themselves to thinner bread too. The timer knob allows you to select light, medium, or dark toast and at the end of the cycle the toast remains in the slots until you eject it with the knob - this keeps the toast warm, but because the unit shuts off at the end of the cycle your toast won't be burnt. Sturdy metal housing and heating elements made from the finest quality clear mica and 80/20 nickel chrome are good indicators that this is a toaster that will stand the test of time. In fact the Dualit toaster was designed for commercial use in English hotels and restaurants where the toaster may be in continual use for 8 hours, mandating that the heating elements be of heavy construction.

DeLonghi DO400 1400-Watt Digital Control 4-Slice Toaster Oven Review

I used to have a much larger toaster oven, but having subsequently bought my first microwave, when the big toaster oven died, I looked for a smaller toaster oven to free up some counter space.I've had this for about a month, and I think it's quite good for what it is, but for what it is, it's overpriced.If it were cheaper I'd rate it higher.It broils beautifully. The oven heats very quickly, which is great.By my measurements, it's about 50 degrees above the requested temperature in middle ranges, as has been noted by others. But small toaster ovens are always unreliable on precise temperature.That's why all those frozen foods that come in microwave containers say don't cook them in a toaster oven (which you can do just fine, by the way, if you know how far off the temperature is).I prefer toast a little lighter than it makes toast at T-1, but it's okay.I miss features like the hook pull-outs, which not only pull the shelf out when you open the door but keep the door from crashing up and down, and the pull-out, rather than drop-down, crumb drawer. It's a perfectly adequate small toaster oven, but it should be either a little better or a little cheaper.
