The Dualit didn't do so well in this test from Slate:

Here's the winner of that test:
DeLonghi Aluminum 2-Slice, $129.99
Meet everyone's favorite. The DeLonghi elicited actual oohs and ahhs. When you place a piece of bread in the slot, the toaster senses it and the bread automatically descends. When the bread is finished toasting, it rises slowly to the surface. This rising is accompanied by a pleasant "ding!" If your temperature control has already been set, it's possible to make toast without ever touching the toaster. It's magic, I tell you.
Everything about this toaster is a delight—especially that it's delightfully easy to clean. The entire base of the toaster is the crumb tray. When you want to clean it, lift up the top of the toaster, remove the bottom, and dump it out. This is the most elegant solution to the crumb problem I've seen.
Simplest to use, easiest to clean, and the best-looking to boot: It's a toaster trifecta! The DeLonghi is not cheap, but you won't feel ripped off.
