Dualit Combi 2+1 Toaster in Silver (2 Toast/1 Sandwitch)



Best of British engineering
Here you have it .. a hand built toaster from the days when domestic appliances were well made, built to last and easily serviced. I've used mine daily for the past 15 years and its worked flawlessly. Sandwich maker perfect for sandwiches and toasting delicate items like pound cake.
Elements and other parts easily ordered from Dualit and every part is bolted together for a solid 'Hummer' of a toaster. This product is a major industrial design classic from the 1950s and will grace any kitchen counter just for its looks. If its good enough to feature in James Bond movies then why not have a working piece of 3D art.
Functions perfectly from lightly toasted white bread to well toasted whole wheat. Note that since the timer and pop up switches are separate you can pop the toast up or down anytime. However you cannot turn the timer off once set, but once you know what setting to use I've never found this an issue.
Sure it's expensive but this is a commercial product used...

Combi Electricity Saver / Eco Friendly
This incredible toaster puts you in total control allowing you to toast 1, 2, or 3 slices at a time. You then select the time with 2.5 minutes being ideal for most breads. I like this because I only want one slice in the morning. I just use the cage and toggle the one line selection. The toaster heats only then one caged slice and not the other two. So I do not waste electricity on a second slice compartment I don't use. This is the case with most toasters.

The push down toast ejector on the two slice section makes it very easy for me retrieve even thin slices quickly and effortlessly. I use to have to fish thin slices out in my old toaster.

I also like the fact that I can keep the toaster and replace parts as needed. You can purchase the heating elements, switches, etc. separately. I dislike items that are planned for obsolescence. Throwing away a whole toaster because the switch or heating element is broken is terribly wasteful.

I will keep this...
