Dualit used to be the dog's bollocks of toasters but they sold out, and Breville is the new king.

If you can find a 20 year old steel Dualit on eBay however, it'll last the rest of your life

How exactly did Dualit shit the bed? Aren't they still repairable and made in the UK? Sorry, I've been doing a lot of toaster research and have one in my cart literally right now, so it would be awesome to know if I missed something before paying $350 lol

I bought that dumb expensive new Dualit toaster (one with bagel modes) 4 years ago. Its solid with no signs of regression.

I expect it to go for another 20 years
