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.

    • We did London to Avignon, which was a dream - changed at Lille and the journey south was smooth and so much more relaxing and scenic than the inside of an airport / Easy jet plane. I'd thoroughly recommend it. 
    • That looks like a dahlia tuber.   The clumpy, swollen shape with sprouting white roots is typical of dahlia tubers that have overwintered in the ground. They often look a bit mutant or alien, especially when several tubers fuse together or grow in odd directions.   If you dug it up from your garden and it’s not slimy or rotten, it’s probably still viable. You can pot it up or plant it directly in the ground once the risk of frost is gone. Keep the knobbly end (where the stem was) just at or slightly below the surface and water it in.   If you’re unsure, you can leave it somewhere warm and bright for a bit and see if shoots appear. That’ll confirm it’s a living dahlia and not some rogue tuber trying to cause confusion.
