Review: An excellent toaster. - Amazing toaster. Positive controls/knobs/buttons etc give a quality feel that you expect from a £100+ toaster! Quick to toast 4 slices perfectly evenly and to identical levels of toastyness which is ideal. Yes it takes a few attempts to set It up precisely but this is the only toaster I have used that when each side is set to the same level.... they toast at the same level; which is how it should be for a top end toaster. Then there's the bagel function.... I'll be honest; I thought a waste of time... just stick them under the grill like any normal person has done for the last 20 years and get on with it. Then I though what the heck they designed it for a reason so why not use it as intended. Sooooo much quicker and no grill pan to wash up. Perfectly toasty one side, perfectly warm and doughy the other. The crumb tray is easy to remove and wash. Love the fact you can change the end panels to match in decor, we have changed ours from stainless to yellow. Also other items in the 'Architect' range can be purchased to match. We have also purchased the sandwich toaster cages to fit. They hold the bread and fillings snugly so they don't fall out, another well thought out feature. Ultimately I think it's a fantastic bit of kit that has the options to personalise. It does what it should do and it does it well. Yes it is expensive for a toaster but for the quality I have experienced in comparison to our old one (micromark for about £60 5yrs ago) is well worth it.
Review: Special toasting experience - and British made! - I was concerned by a few reviews that said the toaster broke or burned toast. We are only 1 week in -- so longevity still has to be tested! However, the toasting experience is wonderful. The toaster looks great -- very high quality and great design, with metal construction. The toasting levers feel very nice. It does pop up but also you can manually inspect it mid-toast. The actual toasting pattern is more like you get in hotels -- it seems "professional", rather than usual at home style toaster. I can imagine the burning is because this toaster is super powerful and a lot fo bread needs a low setting. We use a lot of gluten free bread, and it actually improves the flavor of this vs other toasters (which I am grateful for!) Most importantly, it is designed and made in Britain -- which we were prepared to pay for -- rather than the usual "made in China". I loved the video of the inventor and his family testing toasters - I was sold! And it is better than I expected (so far!)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this toast large bloomer slices like warburtons bread?**
A: No.  It will accommodate thicker slices of bread (and thus muffins, rolls etc.) but wider slices - that are then taller (if you see what I mean) once you put them in the slots - won't be completely toasted as a large part will stick out of the top.

**Q: Is this toaster brushed or polished stainless steel?**
A: Its polished stainless steel

**Q: How does this empty of crumbs? I don't see a crumb tray to pull out.**
A: Hi.Great choice. There is a drawer at the back to get crumbs out. PS I recommend the sandwich cages.An absolute must !!!

**Q: Does the grey one have white panels?**
A: No it has chromed panels, just that this pic makes them look white. It's a lovely toaster.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheaper alternative Dualit Toaster
*by S***Y on 22 April 2023*

Great toaster, can take wide/tall slices of bread. Well put together and is a lot cheaper than the classic Dualit toasters costing over £200. Mines came with chrome side panels matching the rest of the main body, there's a bit of grey plastic there aswell. Side panels can be bought in a variety of colours and easily swapped out to fit your colour scheme. Quite a large machine for only two slices but makes a style statement in your kitchen ! Blue led whilst it's working, it has various other settings and things documented in the manual. I set it to three when it arrived and haven't looked back since. Always turn your toaster OFF - at the wall after using it. Works like a treat - looks rather cool and is a third of the price of a classic Dualit toaster. How much do you actually need to spend on a machine that just toasts two slices of bread and hopefully won't set your house on fire ? Well about £30 - £50 In my opinion, if you want something that's a bit better built, has more features and looks the part then have a look at this.
