This weekend I fixed my toaster. I actually bought the parts to fix it about 2 years ago, but my silly brain wouldn't let me actually complete the fix. Anyway, I replaced the elements in my 26-year-old Dualit toaster. I had excellent toast this morning as a result. Success.

@popey I am not in the market for a toaster any more, but have considered Dualit in the past (I like the "basket tray" they allow), but didn't pull the trigger cause of the price, this post is probably the best marketing for it, and had I seen this I would have bought it.

@minkiu when I called them to buy parts, I mentioned that the toaster dated from 1997 and they weren’t fazed. They said that they frequently supply parts for toasters much older than mine.

jamesh,

@popey That looks like a toaster for people that don't mess around.

@jamesh Due to the "timeless design", they get used as props / set dressing in TV shows and films. It's very sad but me and the wife often point and shout "DUALIT!" at the TV when we spot one in the background.
