2.0 out of 5 stars
Overpriced, so-so toast launcher, October 10, 2006
This review is from: Dualit 25373 Lite 2-Slice Toaster, Soft Touch White (Kitchen)
Smitten by the possibility of having old English craftsmanship preparing my toast after several years of disposable toasters, I ponied up 75 bucks for this baby. When my dog sees this toaster come out, she waits patiently to race me for the slice before it hits the floor. Results are not much better than a 20 buck Chinese piece of junk. Fair to good toasting of many bread & English muffin types. If this toaster lasts, maybe the launching mechanism will wear down a bit after a few years and work properly.
UPDATE - 1/3/09 - three years later - I get the blue flash of death - huge blue spark when the lever is pushed down - I've gotten older and slower - my dog has gotten fatter from all the toast and muffins she's eaten off the floor. Hey, I see they have a 300 buck model out now - Hmmmm - No Way - got a 20 buck Hammy Beach toaster @ Tarjay yesterday.
I'm happy - it works great - nice even toast. The pooch however does NOT approve of this model because it doesn't launch the toast when done!
LOWER RATING TO ONE STAR - the Dualit was also inconsistent when attempting back to back batches - a fair amount of cool down time was required! 4/17/09 further update - my dog wants the rating changed to 5 star - she hates the new toaster - it doesn't launch anything.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S A DUALIT TOASTER-GREAT!!!, November 10, 2004
This review is from: Dualit 25373 Lite 2-Slice Toaster, Soft Touch White (Kitchen)
I needed another toaster for our ski lodge. I've used DUALIT chrome toaster for many, many years and just loved it.
When I went to amazon.com and saw a DUALIT LITE toaster at $79.99 I was in awe of the price. Ordered it and just love it.
Perfect even toasting, american style pop-up toaster and can accomodate my favorite bagels.
I can't believe that you can purchase a quality DUALIT product at this pricepoint. I highly recommend that you go out and buy this item. I'm going to get several as holiday gifts!!!

Doesn't toast very well, September 25, 2004
This review is from: Dualit 25373 Lite 2-Slice Toaster, Soft Touch White (Kitchen)
Just purchased this toaster and it is being sent back. Even on maximum setting, it hardly toasts. We tried different breads, different settings and it just doesn't work right. We even tried toasting (on maximum) one lot of bread (not good) and followed it by another lot of bread (better, but not adequate)on the theory that it was warmed up after the first lot of bread. Forget it.
On the up side, the toaster looks good. But for $80 it should toast better than my old $9.99 Black and Decker!!!
