In the UK, you can find Dualit stuff in stores that have a kitchen appliance section (John Lewis, say). I've seen them in shops in Germany and the Czech Republic, too. Not sure where you're based, though. Mind you, there is a little shopping trolley icon at the top right corner of the page ... Or the site map has "shop" listed: https://www.dualit.com/products https://www.dualit.com/products Don't know if that's international or just UK. A basic search shows Dualit stuff at Target and Home Depot, though. Amazon, too.

While a nice looking toaster, and supposedly good, I could buy 10 cheap toasters, each lasting up to 10 years, for the same price as one of these. It is at this point I realised my toaster oven is fine, for that once a week serving of toast. Now, if they had a 30 yr parts warranty, or some such, at least I'd feel semi-secure..

  They're engineered for restaurants so they're absolute overkill for any home use. Your home toaster isn't going to successfully pump out 400 slices of toast per hour.

    They're engineered for home use, that's why they are sold at home depot, on amazon, and in retail outlets. Restaurants buy proper commercial gear, from hospitality supply depots. You don't buy restaurant ovens, and gear, from amazon or home depot. A strong tell is, restaurants aren't looking for candy red, enamel coated stuff. They want stainless, and their gear is hidden away in the kitchen, and they don't want to pay a penny more for trend. Honestly, why would you say that? There is nothing about this that is commercial. A 30 yr parts warranty is what tells people it's actually well engineered.

      Maybe not for 400 slices an hour but Dualit toasters are stainless and pretty standard issue at cafes and bed and breakfasts in the UK.

        They may have a commercial line, but that's not what you get on Amazon, or Home Depot, with its 15 candy colors and consumer facing build. If cafes are buying a toaster at home depot, they're doing it wrong. Most retail equipment even specifies warranty is void for commercial use.

        Searching for "Dualit toaster" on Amazon brings up their classic line as the first result. While available in a range of colours both the four and six slice versions are advertised as "Built for commercial use." https://www.dualit.com/products/original-toasters https://www.dualit.com/products/original-toasters My aunt had the six slice version rated for 240 slices an hour when she ran a bed and breakfast. I've also seen the four slice one in smaller cafes. All in the polished stainless steel finish of course.

      Why can’t you buy industrial appliances from amazon? They sell some of the same items (I didn’t go through everything) that restaurant supply does. https://a.co/dHB5rSm https://a.co/dHB5rSm
