I wanted a British toaster and chose Dualit Architect and it is quite simply the best toaster I have ever had. It is very stylish, solid and versatile. It toasts really well and allows you to check how brown the toast is mid-way through. Very impressed. Will consider the rest of the Dualit range now. The only con is it is a bit pricey but now that I have the toaster I think it is good value,
