I love my toaster February 21, 2010
M. Hamilton (Omaha, NE United States)
I have had my Dualit 4-slice toaster in chrome for about six years and have had no problems with it. It toasts wonderfully, looks beautiful and seems to be built to last. We also have two of the sandwich cages which make great grilled cheese sandwiches or other grilled sandwiches that aren't too thick. They work best with the thinner bread slices though as with the thicker it takes longer for the cheese to get melted, which can be too much time on the bread causing it to burn. It is a pricey investment for toast, I agree, but if you have the money and want a statement piece on your counter, then this will meet your needs.
 4 slicer- A disappointment January 4, 2010
Mom O Twins (CT)
We had a two slice toaster by Dualit and loved it so much that I bought a 4 slicer as our family grew. What a disappointment! The toast takes forever. I don't even like my toast well done. I have to reset it for a second round. This means waiting by the toaster of remembering to go back in and reset before it dries out. Why should a toaster be so difficult? It is the most basic of electronics! We loved out Dualit two slicer, so perhaps the issue is in the 4 slicer version, or maybe they just aren't making them like they used to. At any rate, I'm in the market for a better four slicer- this one stinks. And i paid a bucket load for it, which doesn't help!
 Pretty looking piece of crap, but quite a status symbol for the kitchen November 8, 2009

My wife insisted on buying a Dualit 4-slice toaster, primarily because it was pretty. Also, the Dualit had good reviews. I wanted more features, but she won. So we lived with the Dualit for a while. It was awful. You'd put four slices of bread in it, and they'd each come out different. Also, each individual piece of toast would be inconsistent (soft in places and burnt in others). Finally, one of the heating elements in the Dualit stopped working, making it a 3-and-a-half slice toaster.
Don't waste your money on the Dualit, unless your motivation for buying a toaster is to have something that looks pretty, or if you want to impress your friends. If you want something that works well, stay away from the Dualit toasters.
In case you're curious, I replaced it with a Breville BOV800XL toaster oven. It's fantastic, costs less than the Dualit 4-slice toaster, is easy to use, bakes very well, can handle bagels (something that the Dualit cannot), and toasts bread better than the Dualit toaster.

We had this toaster for three years, it's now out with the trash. Since we first purchased the toaster it always acted a little quirky, most of the time it was fine, but every so often when you turned on the timer, the red light wouldn't come on which meant no heat. If you fiddled with the timer for a second or two it would always come on. During the last six months it's become much more pronounced until today when it finally stopped heating at all. I opened up the bottom and took out the timer/thermostat to make sure all the connections were solid. To my horror, I saw that one of the connections was sitting solidly against a screw that had been shorting since we owned it. The thought that my wife or little girl could have been electrocuted is to say the least horrifying. I threw the toaster out immediately not wanting to risk the possibility that someone could be killed by such slip shop craftsman ship. To think .20 cents worth of rubber over the connections would eliminate any risk is simply mind boggling, especially given the price tag of the item. We're now in the market for something a little less fancy, but much safer.
As for how well it toasted, if your still interested you need to get your head examined.
Last toaster I'll ever buy April 29, 2009

I bought this on ebay for 159.00 incl. s&h. I've always wanted this toaster. Mine is the '08 electronic version from williams sonoma. The pictures online do not show the new design. The slots accomodate 1/2" wide bread. I think that is plenty for me. It has a choice of 1 to 4 slots, 1 to 2 bagels toasting on one side option. I can cancel by turning to off position. I can even add or decrease browning while toasting.
It also has a defrost option. It does state to warm for 2-3 minutes, but it gives you a "browning boost" for the 2 first cycles. It gets really hot so be careful if it sits under a cabinet. If you're into investing in proper equipment, than this is the choice for you. Oh, and did I add that it's beautiful?
