Product Description
The Dualit Vario Toaster combines simplicity and sophistication perfectly. Designed for commercial use, the toaster is hand assembled in England and built to last, with an insulated stainless-steel body, variable controls and automatic turnoff. With extra wide 28mm slots to accommodate a Sandwich Cage and the award winning ProHeat elements, a patented design which increases toasting efficiency & element longevity, every toaster has a removable crumb tray and an adjustable rear foot. The Sandwich Cage, which has a built in drip tray, can be purchased as an optional accessory. Toasts up to 65 slices per hour. Two extra-wide 28mm slots accommodate the Dualit sandwich cage (sold separately) as well as thick-sliced bread and bagels. Patented, award-winning ProHeat design enhances toasting efficiency and lengthens the life of heating elements. Heat shuts off when toasting is complete, but toast does not pop up automatically, staying warm in the slots until you push the ejection lever. Insulated stainless steel housing with chrome finish. Variable browning controls. Automatic shutoff. Removable crumb tray. Adjustable rear foot.

 Junk! Don't Buy this Product or Anything Dualit! April 30, 2008
Los Gatos Cat (Los Gatos, CA USA)
I am embarrased I was taken in by the good looks and marketing hype. Ordered direct from Amazon, the first unit I received was clearly a refurb tho it was sold as new. Amazon replaced it promptly.
Soon after purchase one element began working intermittently and now it has failed completely. The number to call for warranty service provided with the product was disconnected. The Dualit website has no listing for how to get service. Sleuthing turned up the alleged authorized repair center who, of course, wants you to pay for shipping to ship the Dualit-junk-toaster to them. From the quality of the phone service and the feeling I have received so far, I might as well be shipping this useless toaster into a black hole.
This is NOT the quality nor quality of service that goes with a $200 toaster. If you're shopping, do yourself a huge favor and cross Dualit off your list.
Next time I will listen to the reviews and ignore the hype!
 Not Worth the Money March 5, 2008
Mizerello (Portland, OR United States)
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my sister 3 years ago. It was VERY difficult to spend $250 (purchased at Williams-Sonoma)on a toaster but she loved the look of it. I gave it two stars because it does look great. However, it doesn't work very well. It toasts unevenly and everything is cold--even if you are prepared with butter in hand and spread it in record time--by the time the toast hits your mouth...COLD!!!!
 What happened??? February 13, 2008

Tough as nails. I had one that saw tons of abuse for 14 years, finally, a heating element was torn by a kid poking a knife in. Couldn't find replacement elements to tried a Kitchaid toaster which was terrible. So bought another Daulit. Same rugged construction but the heating elements are completely different. Good part is that elements are smooth instead of squiggly, and covered with some kind of plastic--so no more worry about bad objects in the toaster. Bad part is that the design changes result in a shockingly slow cook-time and slightly uneven heating. Gets 3 stars because it will last forever. Only gets three starts because it takes so ridiculously long to cook a piece of toast.

I have been researching toasters for the past few weeks.
I liked this toaster but couldn't justify the money.
I went to an outlet mall today and walked in to Pottery Barn Outlet (William Sonoma is the parent company).
They had refurbished Dualit 2-slice toasters for $79.00 and a store wide 30% sale on everything in the store so I got the toaster for $50.
I brought it home and tested it out with a loaf of bread. It works great!
Very satisfied with the quality of the Dualit.

The Dualit toaster is such a pleasure to use. It is attractive and it is so functional -- every component of the product works well.
