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.

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?

Been very happy with a Tefal Avanti Deluxe for the last 10 years or
more. Does 1 to 4 slices, has independent browning settings for each
pair of slots. Takes tick slices, has toast from frozen and reheat
settings as well. Nice consistent results. Has extra buttons to raise
small items (like crumpets etc) further out of the slots to save having
to stick your fingers in after them!
