Dualit Classic Toaster

The Dualit Classic Toaster is a British design icon known for its industrial aesthetic and long-term repairability. Originally founded in 1945 by Max Gort-Barten, a German-born inventor living in London, the company remains a family-owned business which is a rarity in the modern large appliance market.

Unlike many kitchen appliances that moved production to Asia, the 'Classic' range of Dualit toasters continues to be hand-assembled in Crawley, West Sussex, UK. Each toaster features the name of the individual who assembled it on the base plate. The brand has maintained its status through high-quality heating elements (ProHeat) and a modular design that allows every part to be replaced, ensuring the product can last for decades.
