Founded in 1946, Dualit has spent decades developing toasters that achieve the ideal crunchy-to-soft ratio for your bread. Every Dualit toaster is handcrafted in the UK, with the maker’s name badged on the bottom. This is clearly a brand that takes immense pride in their manufacturing processes. <br /><br />With selector control, you can choose exactly how many slots to engage, so you don’t have to worry about wasting heat energy for a solo snack. A mechanical timer allows you to fine-tune your degree of browning and, with a manual ejector lever, you won’t be disappointed by automatic pop-up functionality that finishes too early or burns your toast. There are also defrost and bagel settings, with the latter leaving your bagels toasted on one side and warm on the other. For added durability, the toaster features patented ProHeat elements, covered with a sheet of protective armour, to protect the wires from damage.<br /><br />Available in multiple stylish finishes, this two-slice toaster from Dualit will get your day off to a flying start. [ 2-slot selector control ] Using a dial, you can choose whether to engage one or both slot elements. Whether you’re going for one or two slices, you only use the energy required. [ ProHeat elements ] Exclusive to Dualit, the ProHeat elements within each slot are fitted with an armour-plated layer to make them less susceptible to everyday wear and tear. Additionally, the elements are constructed in a way that enables more even toasting. [ Handmade in the UK ] From the very first step to the last, Dualit toasters are crafted by hand. Dualit takes great pride in this process, with the name of each assembler noted on the base plate. [ Manual ejector lever ] With a manual ejector lever, you can check the progress of your toast without disrupting the warming process. By raising the toast on your own accord, you don’t have to rely on inconsistent automatic pop-up mechanisms.
