Our take
The Dualit Classic is bought to be kept: it's hand-built, entirely repairable, and the mechanical timer means there's little to break. It's expensive, the manual eject takes getting used to, and it's slower than modern toasters — but as a buy-it-for-life object that browns beautifully, nothing else comes close.
