Dualit 45373 Lite 4-Slice Toaster, Soft Touch White

 (15 customer reviews)

We have had this for six months and it has been great. The bagel feature (putting the bagels in with the cut side facing the center of the toaster, pressing a button, and the cut side comes out toasted while the bagel's outside does not get burnt) works really well.

Its counter space footprint is smaller than the four-in-a-row style four-slice toasters. But the unit is substantial and solid.

It is easy to get the toasting setting right and it accepts weird shapes and sizes well - conversely, it's also easy to get stuff un-stuck when necessary. It cleans up easily both inside and out. The styling, well we think it goes well with our contemporary decor, though friends said it would look good in their colonial.

We can't speak to how long it will last, but so far, it's great.

Update: Ten months with the Dualit Toaster have been, well exactly the same as the first few months. It works extremely well and I am glad we picked this one...Read more

Finally, a toaster that does it right!

I was a little hesitant about buying this toaster at first since $120.00 seems like a lot of cash to shell out for a toaster. However, when I thought about the fact that I use a toaster numerous times almost everyday I realized it is one of the most used appliances in our house. With that in mind, and a string of disappointing toasters in my past, I sprung for this little beauty.

As I mentioned, we toast a LOT of stuff in our house. From wimpy little white bread, pop tarts and waffles for the kids to English muffins, hearty wheat bread and bagels for me. Past toasters needed either constant attention or produced very unpredictable results. We burned A LOT of stuff, especially when going from a bagel to a piece of white bread.

I am now pleased to report that we burn nothing. The heat adjustment on this toaster is outstanding. It clicks like a dial on a safe and no matter what you have just toasted and no...Read more

This toaster looks, feels and works like a quality appliance. Bread pops up enthusiastically, but it doesn't fly out of the toaster. My boyfriend's daughter says it's like cartoon toast. The bagel feature works great and there are long slots for toasting pita bread halves and wider-than-Wonder bread from the local bakery. The price was higher than toasters I saw at Target and Macy's, but there's a noticeable difference in construction quality. I fully expect this toaster to last many years.
