Justifying the cost of stupidly expensive toasters

I have a Dualit 3 slice (2+1) and it is about 30 years old.  If you must put it under a wall cupboard, bring it towards the front and if you are doing a massive toasting session, relocate it.

 

Does anybody do a massive toasting session? And what is massive?

 

For one of those one obtains a conveyer belt roaster, surely?

 

😉

 

If he wants the geniune self-build adventurer, he could get a Dalek Toaster for a gas ring, as used in traditional narrowboats and static caravans.

I guess B&Bs may.

 

The only safety issue I have had is when the timer clockwork spring lost its mojo and the toaster got very hot before I realised.

20 of these stuck under the cupboard should do.

 

All for less than £1000.

 

That would be a mega toasting arrangement.

Dualit seem to have a range of multiple toasters, starting at a far lower price.

True, but the cheaper ones don’t always have a great reviews, and it is only their most expensive lines which are fully repairable.

About once every couple of months, we have family or friends over for a large brunch, when we get through 30 bagels (so sixty halves).  That is probably the number @Mr Punter had in mind. That’s fine, we would relocate the toaster to the island for such occasions in any event.

Which island, Aruba?  Or Dogs.

Retailers to pay for consumers’ e-waste recycling from 2026 under UK plans…

I think that in Germany you can deposit packaging or end- of- life products at the retailer, and they must get it to their supplier und so weiter.

Hence all German cars have every part marked with the material content.

It will work as long as it as easy as dumping it, and if there is a fine for binning it.

Think cars have had quite strict salvaging rules for decades now.

 Daihatsu may be a bit different.
