Totally agree. I caved a fair few years ago and coughed up for a dualit toaster after going through several cheapo toasters irreparable due to built-in obsolescence. Been going strong ever since with one element replacement. Easy to take apart and clean up which helps too. Wish there were more appliances still designed like this. Frankly it?s inexcusable that there aren?t.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I would like to get it repaired ad it has sentimental value to me, as a dear friend gave it to me for my birthday before they died. Morbid perhaps, but she was so happy to have given this to me as I was on the bread line.

Mine - 4 slot one was ?90 6 years ago.I'd spent ?60 in the 18 months before that on two meant to reasonable but actually completely crap toasters that broke. yes I coughed up up front but worth it in the long run! Plenty going second hand too.


2-slot Argos one currently ?110.

4 slot - ?145.

But unless Dualit have radically changed their policy in the last year or so, it is only the mega expensive top of the range models which have replaceable parts these days.

    • Hi Merry Christmas no joy with that Paul Hackett email thanks 
    • Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent. 
    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
