My wife has been looking for a red toaster for a while now to match the rest of our kitchen accessories, and we finally found a decent one that hopefully will last longer than the old one. We had a red one before that we got in a bundle with our red kettle but it broke after three months and we’ve been using a cheap Argos one ever since.

The toaster is made by Dualit and although it was quite expensive, the customer reviews are only positive so we decided to spend a bit more and purchase it. The Dualit 2 slice toaster features a patented ProHeat technology, which increases the life and efficiency of the elements and provides a consistent heat to the bread.

I used it for the first time this morning and have to say that it is quicker than the last toaster we had, but the only thing that’s bothering me is the chrome insert in the middle, which picks up finger and grease marks like no one’s business.

All in all, the Dualit 2 slice toaster is a decent bit of kit and although it is more expensive than other toasters it is well built and should last for many more breakfasts.
