Looks gr8 & boils quickly
Amazon CustomerThis is the second of these kettles I've bought. It looks stylish, holds plenty of water and boils quickly.My previous one lasted around 5 or 6 years of constant daily use. I think this is quite good as I live in a hard water area.
fiogone through a few kettles in the past. you cant beat this one
antonioThis toaster may not have unique functions but it does the job well. Some toasters only fit small slices but this one is on par to designer makes or one of the commercial brands
D PHILLIPSFabulous price I've seen a lot more expensive
Melissa tilsleyLove my new kettle. Looks great and works great
TGee65Great kettle
M. HemsleyReally loved this toaster till now. Good looking, apparently fairly robust as these things go, had that American semi-industrial kitchen appliance feel about it. Then this Monday, both sides loaded, sat eating breakfast when there was a huge flash and a bang and something red hot flew out, from where I couldn't say. All the appliances went off. The master RCD, the kitchen MCB and the fuse in the plug were all blown. When power was restored I found the right hand side was no longer working and I assumed the element on that side had burnt out. The following day when I had more time to study the thing I found that if i held the lever down, the element would heat up fine, so no break in the circuit there. Whatever it is that is tripped to hold the lever down had gone. Looking inside it appears there are some unusually complicated electronics in there (for a toaster) but no matter, I now think this toaster is another example of poor contemporary manufacture and a potential fire hazard. It isn't I feel worthy of the premium price. My previous toaster (my mums old one given to me when I I first left home, lasted me 20/30 years. This one has gone 3-4 years with pretty limited use. I would say "don't buy it" but I suspect that it is no worse than many of the other offerings.
fulfordstill needs to be longer for scottish bread
Raymond BottleThe toaster still looks good after almost three years though it did give up the ghost recently. The three year warranty came in very handy and the importers were very helpful in providing a replacement promptly and without any hassle.
Amazon CustomerOk and does the job but does not cook evenly.
TomahawkBoils water, what more can I say. Window scales up a bit though after a while, would be better without.
TomahawkThis was a great toaster to begin with. It looks rugged and substantial, and even big slices of bread fit with an even toast. Only 3 of us in the house, and it generally only gets used at weekends. Now on it's 3rd birthday it has stopped working on one side. Reading other reviews, this seems like a consistent problem with this this model. I wouldn't buy another one and would recommend that anyone looking for a toaster to last for more that a couple of years should buy something else. Such a pity, it had so much going for it.
Mr MilgateHad ours for three years now. It's used a lot and has been faultless. It's high quality and sturdy, has a good water level window and boils quickly. Highly recommended and still going strong when others in the past have failed.
Nice CuppateeI thought I would review as I bought this just under 3 years ago and it started to not boil properly and needed to send back, I got brand new one sent out so was great warranty
A. R. BiggsUnfortunately I didn't read the negative reviews and bought this anyway. I bought this toaster (admittedly just under 2 years ago) and now one side of the elements is broken. I only use this perhaps once every two weeks,so I would consider this very light use. Last week I heard a pop and the section of wire that heats up had disconnected from the housing, breaking the circuit.
I could live with the uneven toasting and lack of defrost but it seems the qualify leaves a lot to be desired. Very much form over function - disappointing because it wasn't cheap.

R. Van1st one last 4 months before one side stopped working. Replacement lasted 14 months before neither side would toast. Did an ok job whilst working. Lift up lever was not great and you had trouble getting crumpets and bagels out
Liam_Fcant get a good toaster these days
corrieThis is my favorite toaster. I've had several. They do keep breaking, usually around the two to three year mark, which is annoying.However, with a 5 year warranty, I would continue to keep replacing them in the hope that once day I'll get one that just keeps going.Unfortunately, they've super making them with a bagel button... Which I use alot. This is replaced with a defrost button, which is surely just the same as turning it down?If I can find one with a bagel button, I'll be getting another one. In the meantime, after being let down by the performance of the Dualit lite, I'm on the hunt for another model...
