I know I’m an adult because I’m watching toaster reviews and nodding at certain things being said 😅
The timer in the dualit has a clutch in it so there is no worry about damaging it, everything is replaceable as well, I was given my grandparents dualit they got as a wedding gift and it’s still working all these years later
Thanks - I enjoyed your review very much. I had a Dualit for many years, and it had thick and thin sections, so accommodated bagels better. Also, and this is a big thing for me, when the heating element eventually failed I was able to buy and install a new element cheaply and easily myself. I now have a beautiful looking DeLonghi that has a partially broken element. The spare part costs more than a new toaster, which is ridiculous. I think all new appliances should come with a 'how fixable?' rating. That would certainly encourage buying much more sustainable products, instead of disposable ones.
Wow, thanks for sharing that info about the delonghi, its also why I like the dualit. I do agree on the "how fixable" as well. Consumer reports.
Thanks for your honest feedback on all these. I ended up getting the Smeg in the long 4 slice versions, and it's awesome
This video is so helpful!! Thank you.
Thanks for the review guys
I've tested and used a lot of toasters, the perfect toaster does not exist, and that's disturbing considering how primitive it is compared to a smart phone, I really don't understand why engineers just can't come up with a decent design!
great chemistry, great video and great choices! thank you
Enjoyed the video, I might have to buy the SMEG in that green color.
I'm not buying a toaster that says SMEG on the side, not to mention it flings toast onto the floor. How does something like that get through the design phase and into production? Good grief.
for real lol
😂
Totally agree. Also, I know it’s a great brand, but kinda a creepy word 😂
Great reviews.
I think its made by the Spoog company...
But maybe I'll buy it BECAUSE of the name...you know, to get the reaction of friends and family.
Your review is hilarious! Loved the Cuisinart review..."it's not hideous"! I'm sure that was a comment by at least one of my girlfriend's moms about me..."Well dear, at least he's not hideous." Great review! 😊
"One slice" is for when toasting only one slice, otherwise the toast will overcook on the other side.
We have 3 kids and used to go through toasters every year. Unfortunately, most are not fixable so was trowing out and buying new frequently. Then, looked online for a fixable toaster and found the Dualit. Decided to pay the price and I don't regret it. 3.5 years in , had to change the timer (and yes, I think you are breaking it when cancelling, don't care what the manual says) but at least, a relatively cheap fix and the toaster still runs perfect!
The Sunbeam retailed for $22.50 back when it first came out. That's more than $260 today.
I never knew people would be so passionate about.... Toast ...
it's a thing
have Smeg's products (two slice toaster a, drip coffee maker and milk frother), yes I really lovin it, my next purchase will be kettle, lol,
never fathomed picture perfect toast could be my new interest
Sunbeam was the shizzle back in the day! It was "space age"...if you consider the space age to be the 1960's. Glad you included it.
I like the dash. It allows for very long and pretty thick homemade bread.
My parents have 2 Sunbeam toasters that were given to them as wedding gifts back in the late 50s. They are both still working and going strong. I love the deco design and the way the toast comes up when it is ready. That being said, I am considering the SMEG just because it has that same retro design and SMEG appliances are quality appliances (full disclosure, I’ve never owned a SMEG). If you have to have an appliance out on your counter, I say go with SMEG.
Toasters are an essential part of any kitchen- they can make all kinds of delicious goodies from toast to bagels and beyond!
What else do you put in your toaster? Besides toast and bagels?
I bought a used Dualit on eBay, I thought I could not justify the price tag for a new unit here in Canada (close to $400 with taxes) for a toaster. The bagel function is used quite often so I was happy to see they now had models with that function and it had been long enough that some people wanted to sell theirs on eBay.
I was not expecting the metal to be this thick, the shiny metal is sheet metal, but the rest is cast aluminium, I disassembled everything and gave it a good wash and it looked brand new. I really appreciate the "Peek & Pop" function, I thought it was a bit stupid that it did not go up when it's done, but now that I am used to it, everytime I make toast elsewhere I am definitely missing it.
I have the 4 slice Dualit toaster having owned numerous toasters in the past this is by far the best simple easy to use, fast and consistent I can also do toasties Well worth the extra money and will last a life time as you can repair it yourself very cheaply
Does it toast the entire slice? The toasters I have/had don’t fully go inside so there’s always a quarter left un-toasted…
The original toaster had a walk-through method. That was our family toaster throughout my childhood. Worked great
That Was Good, & The One With Out A Cancel Just Unplug It & It Well STOP 👍
Wow, this makes me sooo hungry for toast! Everything looks so amazing.
Apparently, that Breville is supposed to toast one side less than the other. It is called the 'sandwich' feature for when you would not want the inside bread as dark as the outside.
It's unfortunate that they don't advertise that anywhere!
ONE SLICE, means - if you want to toast one slice, you have to use that slot. The radiant detector is in that slot.
Thank you so much. Frustrating to shop for a toaster these days. Sick of constantly replacing. A basic toaster that works is all that anyone really wants. Hard to find. Think I’ll go for your favorite, the handmade one from GB. Hoping for Longevity …we will see. Again, thank you!
Obviously how brown an item will be toasted will depend on how wide the item is and therefore how close to the toasting filament that item is. I think that the only way to get by this would be to have some type of distance sensor which was linked to the filament that adjusted how much heat was being put out by the filament depending on size. I guess that this would add cost to the toaster price.
CROWNFUL 2-Slice i like for looks and price and consistent
I miss well made basic appliances that don't cost a fortune.
But the speed. We have a 120 volt toaster that makes decently even toast, but it is horribly slow. Do you think only 220 to 240 volt toasters do the job quickly?
I found a working 4-slice dualit at Goodwill for $10. Big score.
Holy butter! That is an extremely good score.
I’m glad I read your comment! Now I’m going to start at my local thrift shops to look for a new toaster.
American Goodwill is unbeatable
I got the dash toaster before watching this review and I agree it is weak but I just pull the lever again ha. I always tend to want to start toasting sooner than everything else is done so it’s okay if it sometimes needs an extra round of toasting. It looks cute on my counter, will fit my homemade sourdough slices, and it wasn’t painfully expensive since I’m not sure how long I’ll be this into toast ha. I was just tired of using my oven broiler.
The Dash is an excellent toaster haha, those heating elements are just a lil' different than most toasters. Thanks for commenting :)
wow wirkich schön diese toaster🎉
"I think if you have no soul, this would be the perfect toaster" LMAO! This is one of the best reviews of anything I have ever seen on youtube! Please consider doing some more reviews. I'm subscribing just based on this comment!
I'm glad my dark humor amuses you :)
@@DannyPops Yes, regarding my own warped/twisted/dark sense of humor...never can tell if it is one of my flaws or a feature...maybe both. :-)
We had one of those Sunbeam toasters for my entire childhood and more - it worked flawlessly for nearly 35 years!
Most recent was that green Smeg - it's not great at covering the entire slice, the internal mechanism is fragile and it's incredibly difficult to clean stuff out of the bottom. If a piece breaks off some bread that's larger than a crumb it will get wedged in the bottom and not removable via the very shallow crumb tray. PRactically needed to dismantle the unit to properly clean it up. Not recommended.
That sunbeam toaster looks like it wants to go on an adventure with a vacuum, a lamp, and an electric blanket
Holy crap, holy prices!
And it still works
My favorite is the Smeg because of the vintage look. I don't like that the toast pops out on the counter.
I love all Smeg products for their vintage look however, they are way over priced so I refuse to buy them. I have a refrigerator that looks exactly like Smeg, but a different company for a fraction of the price.
Regarding the Sunbeam and bagels: when it was made in the '60's I think that you could only get bagels in New York City...and I guess that some people would say that you STILL can only get (authentic) bagels in NYC.
We use our sunbeam vista any time we need toast or warm bread. Love it and got it at an antique store for $18!
Frozen bread cooks just as perfectly as room temp bread without changing darkness setting.
Only problem is the fore stated bagel (also the old wires)
I wish that sunbeam did bagels. That’s all I ever toast.
What use are all the gadgets like led lights, lift up function etc....if the toaster does not do the job you want it to do, which is toast a couple of slices of bread evenly! It's 2023 you would think some manufacturers would make one by now! Really fed up with all of them
Finally, a toaster that can make a real statement about who I am. No one understood my pain about this dilemma until now.
Thanks to this video I discovered that I have nor soul or personality (actually liked the CuisineArt) 🤣
Only one toaster may win it all 🍞
Everyone I know who buys a Dualit ends up getting rid of it. The Dualit takes way too long to toast toast !!! Ugh... the Sunbeam is, by far, the best toaster. All metal parts on the inside too. Sunbeam has to remake and refine their toaster for the bagel crowd. It's a masterpiece.
I suppose the 70-yr-old Sunbeam might have benefited from New Elements! & Toasted evenly..
by design they toast unevenly because the have outside vertical element and inside grid. thay had the vertically mounted to accomodate the radiant thermostat, that model in the video seems to be a t20b, a bit later that went out with the t-40-1 and t-35-1 with bigger outside element wich were 100w more powerfull
The best one is Milantoast. 😎
You didn't use the Breville four slice toaster correctly. Simply lower the slice if bread, move the LED lever beyond the 50% mark. The 70% mark gives you an even browning on both sides. A few trials will break you in to its quality.
Not interested in toasting bagels. For the price, Inthink it's worth it.
I'd rather have medal rather than plastic as well. Something about a plastic/mostly plastic toaster just doesn't sit right with me. 😳
Oddly the grill marks on the $250 toaster no longer bothered them and neither did launching the toast on the counter. Funny how that works.
It's all subjective to a point nonya!
Very Good Review for the most part I liked it a lot one of the better Toaster Reviews on You Tube however the only thing that I didn't like and critique was that they didn't show the Dash Toaster on higher level setting's thus to show it's Toasting even ness, "For what ever implied reasons" I can only guess:
- Wanting to (with personal biases) encourage the other more expensive and charming metal toasters?
- Implying the the hotter it gets the maybe more the plastic leaches, mildly melts and and fumes, into the Toast ultimately?
- Scared that it would steal the show (because it's cheaper), with it's awesome cool innovative window, vs the charming metal classic and artistic exteriors of the other toasters?
-___________ your guess is better than mine?
Personally just got the Beeville bit more larger 4 toast, toaster off Amazon this week and very mixed feelings about it,
it toasts very unevenly with the middle of the toast being not toasted at all and a little more than the edges being burnt.
Huh, Worth Approx $100? Not Shure if there are redeeming values that proceed them selves in aspects I can only speculate and guess (with maybe a cretin and lamins tasting palette) like for example the insolation of the toast and the steaming, Ie aka the nature of the heating of the whole toast internally, might be at least a little bit better than most some how? I say this becasue the toast turned out kind of pretty good and tasty per say sort of hard to tell (maybe it's just fresh etc..), just not golden brown perfect and even toasting on the outer layer, those things are the only redeeming value aspect's that I can possibly think of along with all its other innovative features etc (that ultimately mean little to nothing if the primary final result of the toast is sub par etc).... , most likely going to return it and wonder if it was refurbished and or used (because also when looking internally at all the coils Very, Very uneven), even thought on Amazon it indicates Qoute "New"!
-Maybe some people think that they like uneven toast for a varied experience in the bites and textures? Little bit of
golden brown here then just this or that there etc who knows?
My choice
Sunbeam but the T-35 tho
❤️❤️❤️
Best toaster I’ve had is the Ninja Toaster £129
Sooooo... Basically all the modern China designs don't work properly and have inconsistent toasting, whereas the vintage models made elsewhere have missing features (bagel) or weird issues like tossing toast around.
The price of let's say a Smeg is not worth it just to make toast, thanks but a cheap Mellerware will do.
Well if everything was just based on function it wouldn't be fun! The design also plays into it for me haha.
In this day and age how can't designers bring out the ideal toaster that does everything like all bread type sizes fit ..evenly toasted ..and all mod cons ..whats wrong with designers ..I guess its all about money ..if they gave us what we want .then they stop making money ..to hell with us consumers I guess ...at least in my day things were made to last .and it was all about the customer
repeatability is erratic, same setting gives different toast. They are all nuts.
except for the one with a radiant thermostat, wich is also the oldest 😂
It’s not Smeg it is SMEG. Italian made by the Bertazzoni family and it stands for Smalterie Metallurgiche Emiliane Guastalla. Italian: Guastalla Metal Enamelling Factory. It’s made in Guastalla, Italy.
It's definitely labeled made in China unfortunately.
Just bought a Bertazzoni stove and hood so I'll be buying a SMEG toaster
The Sunbeam is the only one that will go UP in value, and last for decades. Plus it has a timeless design (also make a great talking point, if you are interested in design and engineering) Down side is they are not so safe in terms of electrical insulation and the shell heats up a fair bit too. Personally I don't toast bagels so I can't see myself ever needing to buy another toaster in my lifetime.
Smeg is rubbish. It’s super hyped for nothing at all. Even their fridge the inside is not very spacious.
The toaster is much better than the fridge
this screams sponsorship
I use a toaster oven. Toasters are stupid.
Ironically too slow for toast
Ugh, the name Smeg is terrible....
My Dualit is crap. Inconsistent performance, and now after only a couple of years - broken. Expensive junk.
After less than 4 years mine has a timer problem. It gets stuck and keeps on toasting… I read a lot of Dualit toasters have that problem. British quality?
They’re toasters for god sake! Smeg is so ridiculously overpriced.
You two are too "wishy-washy" in your reviews. Make up.your minds...is lt is simply "good" or " not good." That's all we want. Don't drag us all over the park, please.
The thing is that all toasters will get the job done.
