    Show us your toaster.

    Inspired by another thread in this fine forum, this is my vintage Dualit 3 slicer. Older than many members on here, with me through 2 divorces, and still going strong.

    We still have the Dualit 4 slicer we bought when we got married (in 1986). I have however replaced a couple of elements.

    Made in England of course.

    My toaster is a bit busy at the moment - she's hanging out the washing.

    ^ I have the same Rowlett toaster. Hopefully will last better than the previous £20 toasters.

    Built like a tank - it surely will!

    The mrs just bought this one, very girly but never having had a four slicer before I’m finding the upgrade a real game changer

    Has it ever been redialled? If not, I may be interested.

    Had exactly the same toaster as the OP for many years…

    Chopped it in as frankly modern toasters are simpler and do a better job…. I have <insert generic toaster brand here> and it’s fine…. Makes my bread brown and deals with various thicknesses

    Dualit toasters do look nice though and I didn’t lose any money on it!

    Crumbs! I wish I had a fancy toaster, but just not enough bread to afford one. Some of you must be in your element showing these off. I hope you get some crumpet!

    Sorry reecie, it was a poor attempt at a watch-related joke. I should work on my delivery.

    Don't even look at the prices of their ovens and fridges, it is built like a tank and works very well though.

    I lent my M-I-L a four-slot Dualit I'd had in the kitchen of an old office. Perfect nick. Within six months she'd thrown it away. The timer had stuck (I've replaced the timer on my four-slot at home, takes a few minutes, didn't even cost £10 for a new one). She explained she never really liked the quality of the toast it produced and had bought a much nicer one from Home Bargains or wherever. Despite the fact she doesn't understand the point of non-stick saucepans (she cleans her one with a metal scourer and uses it to boil water) she saw I had two Le Creuset non-stick pans and asked if she could have one. No.

    constant cause of angst, is wife using metal utensils with non stick pans, no material sympathy whatsoever.

    Dualit. My only complaint is slightly uneven toasting, and it working with too high a heat so that the crusts don't toast at all.

    We've had a 4 slot Dualitt for 15 years, I replaced the elements once but other than that i't been great. I love the fact that it doesn't have to go in landfill just because a basic part has failed.

    Another Rowlett here

    This one was liberated from a storeroom at work. It was taken out of service and condemned after someone repeatedly got crumpets or muffins or something stuck in it, setting of the alarms and hence evacuating a call centre. Been in domestic service now for a good few years. My wife hates it.

    I wasn't going to post a pic of our Dualit 4-slot as there's already been enough shown here, but your two lovely cockers deserve a response (albeit a crap photo).

    If only for the comedy value, it would be good to see. How much damage can a MIL inflict?

    I do not recall ever ordering a part for something and fixing it. I do research online and invariably it always looks too complicated.
