Product Description
The toaster ahead of its time, this KitchenAid, 4-slice toaster features a blue backlit LCD display highlighting the shade level of browning, and countdown to serving time. Engineered to recall and display the last shading level and function, this contemporary appliance toasts to exact standards every time. Change the shade level using the dial that adjusts from 1-7 settings for precise browning. Using the one-touch motorized control, you can raise or lower bread at the touch of a button. The extra-wide 1 1/2" slots feature interior racks that self-adjust, centering the rack width to keep thick or thin slices of bread, bagels, pastries or English muffins upright for even toasting.The unique bagel function on this toaster reduces power 50% on one side of the heating element to gently brown the outside of a bagel, while toasting the inside, preventing over-cooking. With the defrost button, frozen pastries are heated inside and toasted to perfection in minutes. Press the "keep warm" button and teasted foods warm up for up to 1 minute. Also features a cancel button to stop the toasting process. Cord wraps underneath the base for convenient storage. Removable crumb tray is dishwasher safe.
Since the first stand mixer was introduced in the early 1900s, the KitchenAid brand has been acclaimed internationally for performance. Their latest line, the result of extensive testing and research, upholds their long-standing tradition for excellence. These technologically-advanced appliances are sophisticated in design for the home chef.

Dualit 2-Slice Toaster, Chrome
 |
Technical Details
- Extra-wide, 28-mm slots accommodate a variety of bread products
- Award-winning ProHeat elements increase toasting efficiency and element longevity
- Ejector system keeps toast warm until the ejector lever is pushed up
- Removable crumb tray; adjustable rear foot
- Switch-system controls the degree of browning
Product Description
The Dualit toaster is outstanding in the field, not just for its industrial retro good looks, but also for its performance. It has ProHeat elements and wide slots capable of handling very thick slices, yet the adjustable wire guards will accommodate themselves to thinner bread too. The timer knob allows you to select light, medium, or dark toast and at the end of the cycle the toast remains in the slots until you eject it with the knob - this keeps the toast warm, but because the unit shuts off at the end of the cycle your toast won't be burnt. Sturdy metal housing and heating elements made from the finest quality clear mica and 80/20 nickel chrome are good indicators that this is a toaster that will stand the test of time. In fact the Dualit toaster was designed for commercial use in English hotels and restaurants where the toaster may be in continual use for 8 hours, mandating that the heating elements be of heavy construction.Similar Products

I bought this toaster for my husband. He wanted it because he read somewhere Queen Elizabeth
has this same toaster. Anyway, it's expensive and makes lousy toast. The bell that rings
when the toast is done broke not long after getting it. Now I have to unplug it to turn it off.
My whole kitchen filled with smoke the other day. It's in the trash now, waiting for pick-up.
2010-07-11
By J. Walker (Auburn, California)
I can't complain about the little quirks because this toaster was a gift that was bought at Williams Sonoma. In the early days there were many times that I wanted to get rid of it, but couldn't justify it since it worked. Yes, I've had to stuff certain sizes of bread in it and squish fat bagels, and felt like throwing it through the kitchen window, but over time I learned to love it. It's awful sturdy, really pretty, oozes quality, and looks so bright and shinny in my kitchen. And it's got a life time warranty since it's from Williams Sonoma. They come from England and each toaster is hand built by the same person from start to finish. No assembly line here. Kind of impressive.
Times change and so do eating habits. Mine changed to healthy. I don't eat bagels anymore. I only eat corn rye and sprouted rye from Trader Joe's and Thomas's whole wheat english muffins and sometimes I splurge on crumpets, all which fit nicely into the toaster. When I get to the big slices of the corn rye I just cut the slice in half. Works for me. Plus I hardly burn any bread anymore since I've learned how long each item takes.
Would I buy one of these new Dualits? I don't think so as mine is going to last forever since it has a lifetime warranty. But the two new upgraded ones at Wiliams Sonoma look awesome and have all kinds of new settings and I will admit to drooling over them. However, the four slice is $339 and the two slice is $256 and I can think of other uses for that kind of money. If you are rich, or willing to eat beans for a while and want a quality toaster, go for it. I might add that those colored ones that I saw on Amazon and other places are really ugly and are garish and cheap looking IMHO. Stick with the stainless from Williams Sonoma.

Love this toaster - it works beautifully, is very well made and not made in China! What more can you ask!!
2010-03-10
By Vicious Lips
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 comes out just fine.
2. Myriad of really pretty colors - these toasters really ARE pretty.
3. There's a little arrow on the the timer knob that I've found keeps toasts to a perfect level (between 2 - 3 minutes).
4. The little lever that helps the toast go up and down is pretty nifty and really works when you have things that are too big for the slots (see (5) and Cons (3) below).
5. Since there is no pop-up mechanism, the toast stays warm in the toaster until you use the nifty little lever to bring it up. As an avid fan of crisp Marmite soldiers, this is an awesome feature.
Cons:
1. Large countertop footprint. You can kill a buffalo with this.
2. Sometimes uneven toasting - I can't figure out if the top gets darker first or the other way around. It's a little aggravating but it doesn't happen all the time.
3. The much touted "wide-slots" isn't really that wide. A bagel can barely fit in there without any external help.
In conclusion, I would never actively pay $200 for a toaster like this, even if it's heavy and looks really, really good, and is a British institution. It toasts well (most times), is easy to use and seems durable. But I guess the same can be said of those $10 toasters you get at Walgreens.

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. The dial switch went bad. Electra-Craft the National Distributors have the worst service possible. The fact that Dualit's quality has gone down along with the only service company you can use knows you have to pay them and arm and leg for fixing simple problems I would recommend you stay away from these toasters. Considering the price you would expect more quality and service. But the Jersey boys of Electra-Craft don't care enough.

2010-10-14
By M. M Magliaro (Philipsburg, PA United States)
It's overpriced, cheaply-made junk.
The lift levers are linked with a flimsy metal/spring mechanism.
We've only had this thing about 2 months and already the right-side lift
doesn't work. The lever gets jammed up inside and won't lift the toast out.
The right side also does not heat nearly as quickly as the left anymore.
It did when we got it.
Getting the levers to stay down when you start toasting is a pain. You often
have to push/hold them several times to get them to stay down.
I've tried a few different toasters over the past 3 years. I expected better
from a $50+ product. But it is finicky,
cheaply-made junk like all the rest.
Honestly, all a toaster is is some heating coils, some springs, and a case.
What happened to all the basic, battle-hardened chrome steel toasters we had as kids
that you could drive a tank over, and which worked forever?
This is ridiculous.
2010-10-02
By Steve (Iowa, USA)
We've had this toaster almost a year and it toasts nicely. The bagel feature is very nice toasting on one side and warming the other side. My complaint is the lifting mechanism which raises the toast out so you can reach it is very flimsy. The right side quit working after about 3 weeks. The left side still works only because we are very very careful with it. If the toast / bagel isn't all the way up when you use the lifting arm it will jam or break. I've read many reviews with the same complaint, so it's not just our experience. Our next one will be a Kitchen Aid. I would not recommend purchasing this toaster.
2010-08-15
By J. Jack (Maine, USA)
We bought this toaster 2 years ago and at first it seemed to do a good enough job, but it took FOREVER (over 3 minutes for "medium" toast). The longer we've had it, the longer it takes to toast...we're up to 3.75 minutes, now....and recently two of the four slice slots refuse to heat at all. We will replace it, but NOT with a T-Fal. Sometimes a higher price does NOT mean higher quality; although my husband comes pretty dear and he's worked out very well for the past 30-odd years!

We had the same toaster but only in the 2-slice version for over 15 years. It was not toasting as well so we decided to get a new one. No other ones on the market have the same features so we came back to this one. T-Fal has never failed us and they continue to give value with quality.

Ordered and received the toaster promptly from Amazon. I experienced uneven browning of bread. I tried several batches of toast and one side was brown and the other side would be barely brown. Also, the toaster was suppose to be white, but I would call the actual color cream when comparing it to our appliances and old Cuisinart toaster. We returned the toaster to Amazon and will order a different brand.
