Default Toasters

So... It's getting on for new toaster time in the Henderson household -
our 20+ year old Philips Sunrise with it's single long-slot, while still
functional has lost some of it's appeal as well as it's ability to pop-up
in a timely manner.

I recall from some postings here some time back that Dualit is the choice
of many, so wondering if that's still the learned opinion.


"Real" Dualit - maybe, but v. expensive.

Do NOT get a Dualit "Lite". They work OK, until they break and are then
totally unrepairable unlike their big brothers - and still not cheap.

I don't want the Formula-1 of toasters, but neither do I want the
Morris Minor either. The ability to take 1 or 2 slices of irregular
sized home-made bread and produce toast in a moderate time period is
the requirement. No fancy settings for defrosting, bagels and the like,
nor an add-on egg poacher.

So is it Dualit and be done, or something else?
