After years as a Dualit owner, I still get a certain pleasure from using its sensible, rugged controls, raising and lowering the toast myself, hearing the friendly ticking of its timer...
It's only a toaster I know, but there's just something about it that gives you a sense of satisfaction. And it makes any kitchen look cool, just siting there. I also know it's expensive, but I've known people buy several new, lesser toasters in the time I've had my Dualit, so who's saving? If something does go wrong, I can get new bits so I won't have to throw it away, ever perhaps.

By the way, it makes good toast too. The best thing is that the toast doesn't pop up, and toast is much crisper if you leave it down (keeping warm) inside the toaster for a minute or two. You can't usually do this with regular toasters.

If you are resistant of the price, think again, it's well worth the investment!

Just read the review about the person who cranked over paying 300 beans for a toaster. Obviously this person is clueless about what they are talking about. To make the following statements: "And it doesn't even pop the toast up? What is happening to the world?" shows the reason why this incredible piece of goods is not for a simpleton. The toast stays in the unit after the toasting cycle to KEEP IT WARM as do commercial units. Once toast is exposed to room temperature the bread immediate cools down, making it an unpleasant experience.
I find it incredible when someone writes a review and is IGNORANT about the facts. Let the slight of heart continue to buy junk and toss it. As for me, I'll go with a commercial quantity product anytime, that has the features and benefits and be thrilled to have the product last a long time.

If you want to spoil yourself and have the best, buy a DUALIT toaster. If this is out of your league, you can do as the other reviewer said, "you could buy a succession of 15 $20 toasters which I would imagine would cover the same amount of time as this one" and enjoy using sub par equipment! I recommend DUALIT toasters and products to all consumers. Simply put, you get what you pay for!

I've had other DUALIT products before and had great experience with their quality. Decided to buy this cordless kettle.

It's awesome. Excellent Functions and looks quite elegant in the kitchen or the buffet table.

Everyone likes the look of the polished stainless steel. The lids have large, heatproof ball knobs with finger guards and are also fitted with heatproof handles and oversized non-drip spouts. The Axis Kettle can be placed on its base at any rotary angle, with easy to read, clear water levels on either side.

I recommend this item to everyone who enjoys the versatile use of such a kettle!

Bought this recently after going through several cheaper kettles in less than a year. Although slightly dearer than most other kettles on the market, it has proved to be a much more economical buy long term. It boils quickly and quietly - anything from 1 cup to a full kettle.

A great looking kettle that is solidly built and should last for years. I wouldn't be without mine now - wish I had bought it years ago.

... and boy, am i glad i didn't! this is my first attempt at making ice cream and it seems fool-proof with this ice cream maker. i'm using it to make vegan ice cream too, and the results so far have been great.

all you have to do is follow the directions and turn the handle a few times, every few minutes. plenty of time to add extra ingredients without the problems one user has posted. maybe if you have some super-cold freezer, ice cream could stick to the sides very quickly but with our freezer on high, we haven't had any problems. the bucket is easy to clean, too. parts are very durable (i've already dropped the lid, and didn't crack it) ...

no ice, no salt, _quiet_, no electricity. no moving parts to break, nothing to wear out. don't think it's hard work, either. just a few cranks every couple of minutes. if you're thinking about buying this ice cream maker, go for it. i'm glad i did.

We bought the Donvier along with the Ben & Jerry's recipe book. So far we've made 2 batches: Banana Walnut and Cookies 'n Cream. Both came out great, and its surprisingly easy.

The ice cream maker needs only a few cranks every couple minutes while the ice cream freezes. Its easy enough to use, clean, and store. So far we've been leaving the liner in the freezer so there's no waiting. The entire process is about 30 mins from start to finish. Glad I didn't buy an electric one.

The Ben & Jerry's ice cream book has a recipe for a no cook egg/sugar/cream base which is easy to make and tastes great. Haven't yet been concerned enough about the raw eggs to try a recipe that needs cooking (but I did go to the store to buy fresh eggs). So far the batches we made were only loosely based on recipes on the book - we mostly just threw in ingredients we had laying around the house. But the book gives enough background so one has an idea what will and won't work.

This is the greatest ice cream maker. I've made blueberry, strawberry, cherry, peach- you name it, we've eaten it. This is great- you just keep the metal tub in your freezer. It doesn't take up any room- frozen peas or whatever fit right inside it when it's in the freezer, and you can use it day after day. I'm thinking of buying a second one, so we can make ice cream with one, and keep the other in the freezer, so we'll always have a frozen one. It's really healthy,and you don't need mixes, or salt, or anything but the ingredients! And at least one arm in the party, so you can give the paddle a turn every once in a while. It's great! I love it!

I've been using a DUALIT toaster for years. Originally I purchased the toaster first for it's design. It has a stunning retro look with gleaming stainless steel accents.

Then I started using the toaster and found that it toasted bread evently and completely, unlike any other toaster I've ever had. The wide slots can accomodate virtually any kind of bread including our beloved bagels. We've also used the sandwich cage which is good for creating ham&cheese sandwiches and things of that nature for the kids. We utilize the one slice switch which focuses all energy in making the one slice and not heating up the slot where there is nothing to toast. It's also amazing that the toast stays in the unit when its finished, unlike other who pop up the toast, which causes the bread to cool down immediately.

I can't say enough good about the DUALIT toaster. We've tried virtually ever other brand of product and nothing will replace this Rolls Royce of toasters. We recommend this product highly and we're thrilled to see AMAZON.COM have all of the colors in the two and four slice range.

Timer based toasting is the only way to go for consistent toasting. I like the fact that the toasted product is not dried out, is crispy without being burned. The result is even accross the entire surface. The only side effect I've noticed is very thin toast tends to rest closer to one side of the slot than the other and the closer side toasts quicker than the other. I just adjust things half way through if it matters. I'm very pleased with this toaster.

I own a Yellow 4 slice model, this is without a doubt the worst toaster I have owned. Over the past 50 years there have been many.
It is clumsy, slow, hard to regulate and is consistant in that it never toasts the bread the same. Its a grab bag as to what your toast looks like.Over $300 for something that works like a $9.95 special.

We love this product. It is easy to use with our 10 and 12 year old children. The cookie recipes enclosed were delicious and easy to make.
