Our 10 year-old counter top toaster oven caught on fire this past weekend so we’re in the market for a new toaster. We’ve decided we’d replace it with a traditional 2-slice toaster. No need for the little counter top oven any longer. So with a bit of research we’ve decided to purchase a dualit. Wow this toaster is the bomb! It’s hand built in England, the company has been in business for 50 years and the toasters have a vintage look to them. And these babies are built to last a lifetime . . . LOVE THEM! Now the dilemma is color . . . the classic steel or cream with a bit of classic steel? I have this fetish with the color cream. So my thought is as we replace our “starter” kitchen items with “lifetime” items I’d like them to match but I also want to be sure we’ll be happy with the choice for a lifetime. Both options will match my current lifetime cream colored items so I’m undecided with which choice to make. Will have to sit on this for a bit to make a thoughtout choice. ThoughtOut . . . ha! Your opinion is welcome, please leave a comment. 🙂

Ok here goes, I don’t care for stainless steel, a bit too modern for my taste. I keep my toaster out of sight, and pull it out when I need to use it. However if you are going to keep it out, please please please buy the beautiful cream one. It’s a beauty!!

The style and color is your choice. Personally I like the retro look, not my style, but very neat. From what I can tell its well made with good ratings. It has all the realistic modern features including a bagel button which is a necessity if you eat bagels with onions our other things that catch on fire when they are right next to the burner. It is also made in a first world country where some 10 year old kids aren’t kicking them out for a few cigarettes a day.
