Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Dualit Vario toaster makes great toast, looks stunning and is built to last. This two-slice model has a two-tone cream and stainless steel finish. The slots are 28 mm wide with self-adjusting wire guards to automatically accommodate a broad range of bread thicknesses. The slots also support the separately available sandwich cage, which is a useful addition for making toasted sandwiches, buns and crumpets, though it is possible to toast the latter without a cage.
The Dualit is a sturdy beast with a retro look. It weighs in at around 3.5 kg and has minimal controls, all with a reassuringly solid feel. The red backlit slot selector switch lights up to tell you when the toaster is in use and can be set for one or two slices. This is important, as the toaster uses a patented ProHeat element that is optimised to quickly produce evenly cooked toast. However, the element's lifespan may be shortened if a slot is regularly heated while empty. A black rotary time switch means that you need to determine how long you want to toast each and every time you use the Dualit, rather than relying on a default setting as seen with other toasters.
One of the advantages of the Dualit toaster is that the bread doesn't pop up when the timer is finished. Instead, you need to press down the central black ejector knob to remove your toast. This ensures that your toast stays warm for longer if you are not there to remove it straightaway. Another component of note is a useful slide-out crumb tray. Results are impressive, with beautifully even toasting in all slots and up to 65 slices per hour (two medium slices from cold takes around two minutes). However, the most compelling reason for putting a Dualit toaster in your kitchen is its perfect blend of durability and style. --Heather Wilson

I purchased this after a year of problems with a Magimix (see my other reviews for that!) this Dualit is great - it is a little more manual than others. Toasts well and we all love the way the lever works manually - which is maybe not something everyone is aware of - there is no automatic pop up/timed action on it, the toast stays in the toaster when timer finished (no pop up),so when you are cooking more that 1/2 pieces the elements are already warmed up so decrease the toasting time when doing consequetive pieces to avoid burning. All in all a good toaster. I was led to believe that it is 'Made in England', it is built in England, all parts are made and supplied from China.

This toaster is awesome, as soon as you get it out of the box you know it's quality. Never again have over cooked toast, you adjust the time each and everytime you use it, plus with the pop up lever you can check its how you like it as well! TOP PRODUCT!!

I bought my pink 2 slice toaster around 3 years ago and it still makes me smile when I see it every morning. Most people are surprised at its lack of modern functions (doesn't pop up on its own - doesn't have a timer you can set and leave) but after having had a Dualit I will never toast my bread in anything else. The toast it produces (and lets face it the toast is the most important thing) is without equal - everytime excellent toast - just right. Some people say these toasters are a little expensive, but taking into account that they go on toasting for years, and the quality of the toast it produces, I class it as one of my better buys.

Excellent Toaster
The Dualit is a very well made item that produces excellent toast-what more do you want! Solid build and easy operation-worth the extra cost over cheaper makes.

I was given one of these toasters as a present by a close family member. For anyone who appreciates thier toast, a loved one giving you a dualit is the equivalent of a gypsy curse. Read more

Almost up to expectations.
