Without being an expert the above comments confirm everything I've
always thought about Dualits. Basically if you're running a canteen or a
transport cafe where you need a toaster which will be in continuous use
for 4 or 5 hours a day, 6 or 7 days a week, often being used often by
untrained staff, and which is robust enough to survive in a hostile
environment, and where the amount of noise it makes won't be an issue,
then maybe the cost of a Dualit is money well spent.
Otherwise if you're only going to be using the thing for 5 minutes a day
and may become irritated by the its more "industrial" aspects, then the
fact it may last for 20 years maybe isn't its biggest selling point.

True, but there are times when we seem to have loads of peope here and
want a lot of toast in a hurry. We also have heavy handed teenagers. But
one thing that attracted me originally was something said here a long
while ago...about pop-up toasters jamming and catching fire. Not in the
nature of a Dualit.

Because they're spending so much money on a toaster, customers may be
led to believe that they're buying a Ferrari of toasters.
When in fact they're buying a Mark 1 Land Rover.

I expected a Land Rover! But then I used to own a Mark I Land Rover.
