4 slice toasters - would you recommend yours?

[effieeve]

I need a 4 slice toaster. Can't faff on with over designed ones that are liable to malfunction. It needs to have a removable crumb tray, automatic pop up and take wide slices of bread.

Can anyone recommend a product that's reliable, doesn't cost over £130ish and is simply designed?

I love my Dualit 4-slice, and some are available (John Lewis) for around £100. Nothing to go wrong on them really.

We have a dualit 4 toaster. It’s great! Been going for years. You can lift the bread up to see how it’s toasting too which is cool.

I have a Breville I’m happy with, but with your budget I’d look at Dualit.

I have a morphs Richards it has been going 10 years now and as good as new

Duelt 26 years and going strong

I’ve got one from The Funky Appliance Company. Awful name for a business, but great toaster. It’s a beast but it evenly toasts anything.

Dualit… hate to say it but the best toaster we’ve had. Expensive but worth it.

Another vote for Dualit. Best toaster ever.

I’ve tried better ones but I find Asda own brand is the only one that fits my bread!

Our Sage one is fab, loads of useful features including “a bit more”

I like our dualit, it was clearance, £50 I think

Dualit 4 slice. Mine is still going strong after 13 years. It did develop a fault, which YouTube told be how to fix with a £11.64 part from Dualit. I the process of fixing it, the original part started working again and has gone for another 3 years since. I stashed the £11.64 part for the future!

Dualit are British made, very simply engineered so there's not a lot to go wrong, and they sell the pets so you can fix them yourselves with the help of a screw driver.

cuisinart for me.

seems relaible, probably the most compact 4-slice i could find and the only one that physically fits in our kitchen.

I don’t want to jinx it, but I’ve had this for over five years, and it’s still going strong. De Longhi

Apparently we’ve had it twelve years. 🙄

Another Dualit here - it’s lasted longer than my 14 year marriage and subsequent 9 year relationship, so well over 20 years old! It’s had a replacement element and a new timer switch during its lifetime but we’d got through 3 or 4 cheap ones prior to this so it’s probably paid for itself many times over now! I was hesitant to spend so much but it’s definitely a case of “you get what you pay for”.

We have the De Longhi a PP linked to. 12 years and still going strong.

Another Dualit - over 25 years old. Would replace with same.

Dualit 18 years and still great.

Yup, another Dualit here, at least 20 years old.

Mine is from Aldi, its their own brand but from about 18 years ago, I bought one and boyfriend also got one, we're married now so one is in the attic, it's used daily, never gave trouble and was cheap to buy.

Dualit are amazing!

Mine is Breville, I don't pay loads for them so I can change kettle & toaster if I want.

Mines a Tesco own brand. Cost about £20 6 years ago and is great.

I've just seen its actually a delonghi!! Still very happy with it
