Overpriced but works well

 

Overpriced but works well

I received a refurbished canary yellow Dualit as a house-warming gift. Pros: 1. Fast heating - haven't had a problem with it taking ages to heat up. For first time toasting in the mornings, I just set the timer to go a minute extra and the toast...

DUALIT HAS POOR QUALITY ELECTRA-CRAFT HAS POOR SERVICE

I have bought three of these toasters. The first one lasted for about 6 years. The second had to be sent back three times for warranty work. The third one stopped working right after the warranty ran out 16 months. All three had the same problem. ...

I hate this toaster too!

 

I hate this toaster too!

I don't understand its hefty price for its subpar performance. It will literally burn one side of the toast while barely toasting the other side. Plus, as mentioned by other reviewers, I've never been able to successfully toast a half-bagel without it...

A truly average toaster

We bought this toaster because we kept buying cheapies that broke after a year or so. Plus this one came in metallic blue which goes with our kitchen :-) Well, the slots may be "extra wide" as described, but they are not long enough for standard...

NOT A GOOD TOASTER

 

NOT A GOOD TOASTER

Of course this is a great looking toaster but every time I use it, I am reminded how much I hate it. With the high price, you'd expect it to work better. It's wide opening makes normal sliced bread widths fall down into the toaster and not able to...

Short lifespan, expensive to repair

 

Short lifespan, expensive to repair

I've had mine for about 3 years. The timer knob sticks more and more everyday. If you happen to be away from the toaster you could easy have a fire on your hands. Repairs aren't cheap. The toaster is over $200. To replace the timer knob, it's $149...

great little toaster

 

great little toaster

awesome little toaster. The canary yellow is a beautiful color. Obviously on the expensive side, but for those of us who love our toast done just right in the morning, well worth it.

Don't expect it to last

 

Don't expect it to last

The clockwork timer on my toaster has broken so that the toaster does not turn itself off. It burnt toast so severely that my smoke alarm went off and we had a visit from the NYC fire department. Yes, it's pretty. Yes, it works reasonably well, but...

not worth the hefty price

I bought this high end toaster about 5/6 years ago. It is simple and I thought it would last forever,but a few weeks ago the heating element in one slot failed and it is now worthless. This toaster has no amenities (like auto lift), it is not...

Product Specifications

Hand assembled in the UK, the Dualit Vario Toaster features extra wide slots to accommodate bagels or thick slices of bread. Designed to handle commercial demands, the Dualit Vario Toaster features an award-winning ProHeat element that increases toasting efficiency. Select the one or two slice option to heat only the slots you will be using and avoid burning a single slice with too much heat. A removable crumb tray captures debris and slides out easily for cleaning. A manual knob controls the degree of browning, and the manual ejector system means toast does not pop up when it finished toasting but stays warm until you retrieve it. Available accessories include a Sandwich Cage and Warming Rack. Please note: Dualit products are shipped directly from our supplier, therefore gift wrap is not available for this item. We cannot ship this item to P.O. Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or to any address outside the 48 contiguous states.One or two slice selectorSoft-touch housingCommercial ProHeat element toasts quicklyRemovable crumb trayManual browning and eject functions Manufacturer:DualitManufacturer Style:VarioModel:20294Color:PurpleLength:10 inchesWidth:9 inchesHeight:8Weight:7 3/4 lbs.Volts / Watts:1250 wattsNumber of Slices:2 sliceWarranty:1 year limited
