Lovely innit! I'd want a 4 slice version though!

I want a toaster that pops up when the toast is ready. I don't want have to have to guess how long it's going to take and set the timer accordingly. Fucking crap.

Yeah, I mean it's a new one on me, owning and using a toaster being indicative of being part of the contempt-worthy bourgeosie...

But i like the fact you have to set the timer. It means that i don't get underdone/overdone toast because someone has changed the setting and i haven't noticed. I also like that I can decide to only have heating for one slice if that's all I'm doing.
I totally agree. they rock!
Overpriced , overrated and not that great at the actual business of toasting things. They've done pretty badly in consumer tests, particularly the Which one iirc, being outperformed (in speed and consistent toasting/tasting tests particularly) by a number of £20ish models
But the traditional models are bombproof, feel and look lovely. Bit of a design classic, although they really aren't worth the premium if it's only perfect toast you're after. ,

Yeah, but for the price of a Dualit you can buy around 10 basic cheapie toasters. Enough to last you for ages. And by the time you have got through two cheap ones, either they will have got even cheaper, or they will have invented some new kind of atomic toaster or something, and then your old Dualit will by OBSOLETE.
Like non-flat screen TVs. That you keep seeing on the pavement, in perfect working order, just because their owners have bought plasma.

They must have really changed the design, then, cos there's nothing fiddly about the original ones, nor is there anything to break

I don't do cheap
I don't like waste and 9 thrown away toaters would be a hell of a waste.

Confused me too
I see them in caffs all the time - ultimate robust straightforward toaster. Fiddly & unreliable isn't something that "pro" owners go for.

I have a three slice dualit toaster, because I like three slices of toast 
Except at the moment, where I make three and only eat one Seem to be going off food...
Anyway, have had it eight years, and it's never let me down. Of course it is different to putting bread under the grill, but I always forget putting bread under the grill, so end up charcoalling it.

I put them in mine. The pittas I turn upside down when one part's done. The naans I tear in half, sprinkle a bit of water on and they're fine, I turn them upside down like the pittas.

So's mine
but then it would have seeing as we do the same kitchen stuff I put pitta and naans in the other two slots though.

How's the blender mattie?
I am in the market for a new blender and I like the look of this one very much, is it good?
Don't know about Dualit blenders, but I'd be wary - their brand extensions have been a bit crap. Even the new Dualit toasters are rubbish compared to the classic models.
Waring blenders for the win ime - good strong motors and tough glass jugs that crunch through ice and whatever your throw at them.

Pretty damn good, we got the added bits - whisk, mixer and blender box thing - and it's been most useful. I suspect it may be undersized for some - I wouldn't fancy making soup on a regular basis with it - but for occasionally blending sauces, whisking things etc. it's been fine.
eta: This is what we got, in case there's any confusion:

I had a Dualit for ten years - several fires in it but it STILL worked. Aren't they made in London? Would explain the price somewhat...
I've given it to El Jugs brother, boat electrics and things such as toasters, irons or hairdryers should not be mixed.
I have a Bamix handblender. <derails further> http://www.bamix-blender.co.uk/ It rocks......
