And it makes the BEST toast of any product out there. Buy one, they aren't cheap.

I found one for $200+ (2 slice model) and am tempted. Looks like the kind of toaster that I could pass down to my daughter when she starts toasting on her own - and I could move up to a four slice model.
I am impressed with this spec:
Output per hour: 65 slices
I wasn't previously aware of the OPH standard. I am a bit perplexed about the odd number of slices from a 2-slicer??
The Dualit Vario Toaster combines simplicity and sophistication perfectly. Hand assembled at our Crawley, UK Factory the Dualit toasters feature extra wide 28mm slots to accommodate a Sandwich Cage. The award winning ProHeat elements, a patented design which increases toasting efficiency & element longevity, every Dualit 2 Slice toaster has a removable crumb tray and an adjustable rear foot. Manually operated the Dualit toaster features switches to control the degree of browning and an ejector system which means that the toast does not pop up but stays warm until the ejector lever is pushed up.
