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.

    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
