When my cheap toaster went out on me, I decided to research various brands of toasters. When I replace something I usually replace it with a better quality product. When I researched toasters I was looking for something that was built well and would last decades. I decided on a Dualit toaster - handbuilt in England. The Dualit toaster is considered the "Rolls Royce" of toasters.

I found a reasonabley priced Dualit toaster on E-bay. Once I got it I was amazed on its performance and the quality of the toast it produced. The unique design of the heating elements toasts less than 1/2 the time as my old cheap toaster. The toast seems to taste better because the center of the toast is soft while the outside is crunchy. One of the features I like is the removable crumb tray.

Most of my co-workers think I am nuts (as well as my family and many of you reading this thread) when I tell them how much better my toast comes out with my Dualit toaster. The one exception is a co-worker from England. She talks about how she grew up in England with a Dualit toaster and hasn't had any toaster even come close to a Dualit. I ended up obtaining a Dualit on E-bay for her as well. I noticed my oldest Son put butter on the toast before toasting it. I tried it and the butter baked in the toast - similar to garlic bread. Since there is a removable crumb tray any excess butter just dripped into the crumb tray.

Any of you have any experience with a Dualit toaster or other brand that you are impressed with? or should I be sent to the nut house?
