My in-laws had a Dualit toaster. I am convinced this brand only survives in the market because people think they want one to signify that they've "made it", like getting an Aga.

The incredibly loud mechanical timer drove us all nuts. We always forgot to change the heating element (#slices) selector, so invariably ended up with one uncooked piece of bread. The pop up function is beefy but difficult to get escape velocity on small items. They eventually ditched it and went back to a £20 long slice Cookworks from Argos. They still have the Aga (also bloody annoying).
