Dualit's iconic Classic Toaster has been hand built in the UK since the 1950s. Look at the base of your toaster to find out who made it! Founded by Max Gort-Barten in 1945, his son Leslie and grandson, Alex now lead the business. Watch as they demonstrate how the toaster is made and just what makes it so special. Featuring fully replaceable parts including the unique, patented ProHeat® element, the Classic Toaster is built to last, supporting sustainable living. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
24 years and counting for ours...flawless performance...best toaster value in the world!
My four-slice toaster is over 40 years old and one element just burned out. I bought a whole set just to have them on hand if the others go. I decided to "restore" my toaster, which simply means giving it a good cleaning inside and out and polishing the metal. It looks brand new and works that way as well. Amazing piece of kitchen art.
you know, just yesterday i repaired our toaster with my dad. i’m 15 - the machine is a decade older!
Dualit Classic is best! 🇬🇧 Made in Britain 🇬🇧 I have one with 2 slots Brass Finish.
The button 0 is not a zero. It's a symbol of bagel = for instance if you want hamburger bread roasted only on one side. Only the middle of the 3 elements are on.
I = 1 bread, only 2 (left) of the 3 elements is on.
II = 2 breads, all 3 elements are on. Perfect invention!! 😃
Dualit would do themselves a favor by manufacturing 100% of their line in the UK. No exceptions and advertise that everywhere. Don't dilute your brand and marketing potential. Go 'all in' for the win.
You must be joking!!!!!!!!!!!!
They need to actually engineer their product better. I love the classic toaster for its heritage but it toasts like shit.. completely uneven. dualits response? Turn the dial for a minute before toasting… madness. Their ejection mechanism is also garbage. It pushes whatever’s in the toaster to the front and if it’s fragile/soft enough it mangles it. The ejection mechanism should be a similar mechanism to a scissor lift, so it pushes the toast out correctly 😂😂 I sound like a mad toaster nerd but it’s crazy they don’t do these things! The crumb tray pulls are also hard to grab on the small 2 toast classic toaster as they are to close to the ejection handle.
@@smoll.miniatures What's crazy is that you can see the uneven toasting in this PR video! They can't even get it to work correctly in their own shop.
I'd always wanted one of these, to me they're the pinnacle of what toasters should be, I finally got a 3 slice version 5 years ago. I then got a Dualit kettle 3 years ago. Love them.
Dualit made me happy every single morning, a great toast and a great start in the day :D
Indeed. Stunning these are.
Ours is 23 years old and I first came across them in the Royal Navy. Absolute beasts! About to give ours (a two slot) to our son and daughter-in-law and upgrade to a four slot next gen copper 👍
This video is the reason why I put my money into buying a Dualit toaster, your passion for design, build quality and getting that perfect slice of toast at the end spike out to me as an engineer.
I found myself crazy for researching toasters but I’m so glad I did, as buying a Dualit toaster was the best choice, my wife thought I was crazy when I said how good the toast tasted, that perfect crunch and soft on the inside, I made her some and the butter was steaming as I bought the toast over to her, her first bite made her eyes open wide and she made a Mmmmmm sound. Now she doesn’t think I’m crazy anymore 😂
Hoping to purchase one of these toasters soon 😄
You should advertise the British heritage and British built more. Its a shame the Kettles aren't made in the UK as well as other Dualit products. I, and many others, would happily pay the premium for British made products.
Advertise it more?! There’s a big sticker on it that says MADE IN BRITAIN! That’s not enough for you?
Only some of the models (Classic range, Newgen, Vario) are manufactured in the UK. Most of Dualit's toasters are made in China.
@@Fluterra no, it’s not. In their promotional material, it should be made clear it’s British made. That in itself is enough to sell the item.
@@Olliebobalong Nope. 10% components made in UK. The rest are imported!!!!!!!!!! Shameful.
Do you know I always thought Dualit was Italian I don’t know why maybe ‘cos I’ve had Delonghi for so long which I’m guessing is Italian sounds like it anyway. Now since I’ve been fed up with the Italian brand quality (although I do love Italy) I’ve been looking at reviews & have been drawn to the Dualit brand looking at reviews, design, functionality & then low & behold it’s a British brand & manufacturing with German DNA for some good engineering. I like innovation & striving for perfection trying different things & above all else it’s a family brand owned by the same family. I’m sold & I will be buying a new kettle & toaster very soon & it WILL be Dualit. Just one criticism come on Dualit shout about your British heritage & brand more 🇬🇧
Totally agree with the above.
Nice toaster.
Got a US version 2-slice 8 years ago. It's built like a tank and has been a real workhorse. The only problem is US bread manufacturers keep making wider and wider slices that don't quite fit. Unfortunately there is no sticker on mine saying who built it. Highly recommended to anyone tired of Chinesium toasters that break within a year.
I got an English 4 slice. It DOES 'pop up' & it's a pile of crap.
@@GreenSaxon No it's not!
@@defaultuserid1559 Says you.. that doesn't own a 4 slice English version. Crikey! You Dualit fanboys are a breed apart.
@@GreenSaxon get the classic. Better built but still garbage at toasting
my classic 2-slice was made by john. 120v for north america, works just as well as the 220v models except the indicator light isn't as bright.. really like how evenly it toasts with no hot spots.
what color are the panels shown towards the end of the video? copper or brass?
Are the slots wide enough and can they do Crumpets ?
I want one.
Buy. Just it.
Too bad the timers make them a death trap. That said....I have two and love them. Just need to pull apart and restore timer :(
You must struggle with everyday life.
@@chumleyk Timers are made in France.
@@theaustralianconundrum No wonder the timers are crap. French engineering is nuts. Got a standard? It won't be found on a french engineering item.
@@garyp.7501 Yes but all Dualit Classic toasters now have thermal fuses. These were implemented in 2016. The heater elements are made in India and operate in the infrared sector (They don't glow red) however the rest of the toasters are made in the UK.
@@theaustralianconundrum Ok, do they shut off if the timer fails to hit that final click? Because they appear to have a "remove from wall plug" note on the switch.
And so far I have yet to see it do well in any toast off video and believe me, I've watched waaaaaaaay too many toaster videos.
And yeah, I'm sick of throwaway appliances. However throwing away my cash isn't on the plan either.
I'd happily pay over the odds for a toaster made in the UK, but for a kettle made in China? No way.
Buy a Japanese hot water dispenser. Panasonic or zojirushi
@@denbeigh why?
SeekTheTruth the same reason why you’d buy a u.k. toaster or italian espresso machine.
@@denbeigh Are the Japanese known for their hot water dispensers? I genuinely don't know
@@Nyle95 as tea drinkers yes
Very nice. Mine has stopped popping up after SIX MONTHS!!!
Popping up? I didn’t think that was even a feature of Dualit toasters.
@@richardsinger01 I think they are talking about something else... a blue pill will help.
Fake news. They use a lever to pop up the bread. If you break that, you're an idiot.
@@defaultuserid1559 You're not Donald (i spent all mommies money) Trump. Mine DOES pop up.
Reminder that not all Dualit toasters are made in the UK.
Response from the manufacturer: "
the only toasters that are not manufactured in China are the Dualit Classic range, Newgen and Vario, these are manufactured in the UK, but the soft touch is now discontinued and replaced with the High Gloss. Only the 2 slot Lite toaster is manufactured in China."
Newgen are "assembled" in the UK. They are maybe 10% UK sourced parts. Shame on them for such a high price.
I never knew dualit were 100% English made!!! Anything electrical in the kitchen will now be dualit!!! Bring back manufacturing to britain!! I can't stand all this cheap Chinese cr@p! Keep going guys I've just bought your kettle and toaster and love them!! Best I've ever bought 😃👍👌👌👌
I wish I could also leave a glowing comment, but my classic toaster and kettle have left me disappointed.. I'm not paying £54 to return the kettle again for yet another switch/element replacement..
I've probably been unlucky, but I won't buy another premium priced toaster or kettle again.. Best part of £250 for the two. The Dualit Classic is going in the bin and being replaced by a Tesco special for a tenner.
My toaster is 3 years old and the timer on broken, I'll never buy a toaster from this company again
It's a lovely story but they hate to admit only 4 toaster models are made in the UK, the rest of the range with our flag on it is made in CHINA
All our Vario, Combi, AWS and NewGen Classic 2, 3, 4 and 6 slice toasters are - and have always been - hand assembled at our UK factory in West Sussex. The assemblers’ individual mark can be found on the base plate. All Dualit products are also designed in the UK by our design team. Most of our other products (kettles, coffee machines etc) are manufactured in China. All Dualit products have the same high quality and materials standards employed throughout our entire range.
@@theaustralianconundrum You want them to mine the ore for the steel in the UK themselves? Get a life...
