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.

    • a (clean) nappy/pamper, it was like it had snowed in the garden.  The absorbent stuff inside spread everywhere.  Can I have my gardening gloves back please.
    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.
