Toasters - a bit of a vent

The Tesco one I bought toasts both sides.
However standard sliced bread sticks out of the top so that stays untoasted 🙄
You aren't the only one.
I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

I'd pay good money for a toaster which, when the crumb tray needs emptying, all the crumbs actually empty through the bottom. I usually spend half an hour shaking it trying in vain to get the last 'bits'.
I like seeded bread, which probably doesn't help. I don't empty it very often. Maybe that's my problem.

Ugh, I feel your pain.
Had a well known brand for decades (err, Russell Hobbs perhaps), until it died, and replaced it with the newer "toasts faster" version. What a load of shizzle!
Yes, the toast popped up far quicker, but the bread had only a thin toasted layer, while the inside was just warm bread.
And what is it about toasters that still don't fit a full slice in.
Anyway, after reading reviews, I went with a Scoville toaster. Works perfectly. Extremely happy with it, and it was IRO £20.

I have the 'cheapo' Dualit.
Never toasted properly from new and got worse with time so I decided to replace the elements but found that you can only do that on the pricier models not this one
From my experience I am loath to buy the more expensive Dualit and am considering a Kitchenaid which looks pretty good

I bought a Dualit two-slicer from JL last year (a replacement for one I gifted to a friend). Earlier this year the inside elements failed to heat / toast so I had only one side of toast. JL arranged a return to Dulalit as it was still under warranty. After three weeks away I received a brand new toaster - no idea why but pleased with customer service from them.
Buy cheap, buy twice always rattles around my brain when looking to purchase such electrical items.

How much was the toaster that failed in about a year?

We've got the 4 slice new gen classic from Dualit. Currently selling for about £225 (yikes!) but we paid about half that maybe ten years back - think it was from the Clarks Village discount shops.
Their long slice model is still a bit pricey but maybe if you save your pennies…..
