Dualit 45364 Lite 4-Slice Toaster, Charcoal

 (7 customer reviews)

I love this one, and I have a collection of 20-odd toasters.

The dual wide slots are the only way to go. If all you eat is wonder bread and pop tarts you wouldn't appreciate it, but the wide slots let you toast 2 slices of larger loaves.

The variable width slots are great, I can easily put in a hamburger bun or sliced french roll.

The bagel setting will toast only on one side ( the proper way to toast a bagel ) and this works well with the burger buns or rolls. You press the center button when you want bagel mode so you won't accidently leave a switch in the wrong position.

I'll agree you won't be able go get 20 different shades of brown from the controls, I think I used 3 once, but it usually hovers around 2-1/2. I'm happy with the results at that setting though. I think you use 5 for warming your kitchen up on a winter morning.

I have tried numerous toasters, but this one is by far the best so far. It is a bit pricey, but it was worth every extra penny. It makes toast nice and golden brown and very QUICKLY, which is a plus on those busy school mornings. My bagels come out golden on the fronts and just heated on the backs...just like a toaster oven. I've read some negative reviews about this product, but I haven't had any problems at all. It is a keeper!

Incredibly average or below average toaster at a ridiculously expensive price. We bought this based on the great reviews (for this and other models identical except for color), and expected a toaster that performed well and was solidly built. We found neither to be the case. The build quality is no better or more substantial than the $20 toaster we bought this one to replace. We noticed a loud hum when the toaster was turned on, and several of the heating elements did not appear to function properly. And although the product description says it has maximum power, it didn't toast any faster or more evenly than our current cheap toaster. For the high price we expected something a whole lot better. We were sorely disappointed. I'd say keep looking. Don't waste your time or money on this one.
