Breville (Sage in the UK).

They're expensive, but they're good, and they last.

I've owned: espresso machine, coffee grinder, automatic loose leaf tea maker, coffee maker, toaster oven, bigger toaster oven, waffle maker... I think that's everything?

I've never regretted any of these purchases and never had one shit the bed. I did sell the tea maker and the smaller toaster oven, but I still have everything else. The coffee grinder I've had for over 10 years.

Dualit used to be the dog's bollocks of toasters but they sold out, and Breville is the new king.

If you can find a 20 year old steel Dualit on eBay however, it'll last the rest of your life

How exactly did Dualit shit the bed? Aren't they still repairable and made in the UK? Sorry, I've been doing a lot of toaster research and have one in my cart literally right now, so it would be awesome to know if I missed something before paying $350 lol

I bought that dumb expensive new Dualit toaster (one with bagel modes) 4 years ago. Its solid with no signs of regression.

I expect it to go for another 20 years
