- Lio 3y agoI think a Dualit is what you want. I have a 4 slice Dualit[1] I bought in 2004 and it still works perfectly. It's an unchanging point of reliability in our kitchen. The Classic model is basically an old catering toaster design from the 1950s. So it has "anti-features" that make it suitable for a commercial setting where you're making lots of toast to order. e.g. you can pop the bread to check it without resetting the timer and there's no spring to wear out. As far as I'm concerned the high quality toaster, made in a free democratic country, is a solved problem. 1. https://www.dualit.com/collections/classic-range https://www.dualit.com/collections/classic-range
- jszymborski 3y agovery cool, will probably patronize them next I'm looking for a toaster. Might even make for a nice wedding gift.

- dheera 3y ago> was made in a free Democratic country Why is this important to you? If civilians are oppressed by a government, I'm all the MORE willing to support the civilians to do what they want to be doing, and if making the world's best toaster is what they want to be doing I will more than happily pay them for it and help them live the life they want in spite of whatever regime they are in. It wasn't their fault they were born into a political mess and while I understand the desire to financially hurt oppressive regimes, I'm not in favor of doing so in ways that also punish civilians who are just trying to live a happy life.
