Dualit® was born out of one man's passion for invention, well-engineered products, and hard graft. Max Gort-Barten was a German-born entrepreneur who found himself in England - and therefore signed up to the British army - just as the second World War broke out. When the war was over he bought a small factory in Camberwell in the absolute certainty that he would utilize his engineering skills and creativity to manufacture products. He had several early ideas, including the Dual-Light electric fire from which Dualit took its name, but it was a patented toaster that caught people's attention.

An astute businessman, Max decided not to compete head to head with other emerging consumer brands, but instead focused on the commercial market. He designed and engineered a six-slice toaster with a built-in timer (the first of its kind) in 1952, which bears a striking resemblance to today's Vario toaster. Dualit grew slowly over the next 20 years, gradually improving and extending its range of commercial toasters and adding other related products.

Everything started to change in the '70s when Max's son, Leslie, joined the business. A government-sponsored design grant gave Dualit the opportunity to employ a Royal College of Art design graduate. Export incentives prompted Leslie and Max to exhibit at foreign trade shows, and consumer demand for professional kitchen appliances led retailers like John Lewis to stock Dualit products.

When the Dualit toaster became the must-have kitchen appliance of the '80s, the company was swamped by an insatiable demand. Dualit was forced to extend the factory twice over and find ways of increasing its manufacturing capacity.

Today, Dualit produces a range of kitchen and home appliances which remain firmly rooted in the values Max set out for the company in 1945. It is run by Leslie and is one of a handful of successful, independently-owned British manufacturers. Reliable, well-engineered products remain at the heart of the company and there is an instantly recognizable - and now nostalgically retro - Dualit aesthetic which can be traced back to Max's first toaster designs in the 1950s.

One constant - an ability to embrace change - has seen the company revolutionize its manufacturing capability without compromising on quality and reliability. The innovative, entrepreneurial spirit that was so much a part of Max and his father before him is echoed in Leslie, and now his son Alex, who sit firmly in the product development driving seat.

This is Dualit - no frills, no gimmicks, no compromise, just great products.

I love my toaster I went through many other cheap toasters and they do not last. I love how it will keep toast warm until I am ready, for better more even toasting. I put my bread upside down making a huge difference.

We bought this toaster for our son and his wife as a Christmas present. They have said for a number of years they would like one and wanted to know where we bought it. So we decided to buy this toaster for them since we have had one for over ten years and it never fails to make excellent toast. It's very functional in that it can handle different size breads including bagels. Adjustments are easy to get just the right amount of browning. It is expensive but you get what you pay for and this toaster will last for years.

I think this is a spectacular toaster. I think equally as good about Zappos as a supplier (1 day turnaround, free shipping; 1 year warranty). It can truly create dark brown toast if this is your preference.

I'd also recommend: An open fire pit

This is a great looking toaster that I got when we remodeled our mid century modern kitchen. So far (one month old) it is working great. It toasts evenly. I like the feature that I have to lift the lever to pop up the toast, it helps to keep the toast warm. I wish the slots were just a bit wider, I had trouble getting a really large bagel in, but most things seem to fit fine. Some of the other reviews said it took a long time to heat up first use in the morning, but I have found most toasters are like that and don't consider that a problem. But I did knock off one star for slot size, could be a problem for some people.
