My weekend of hell.

"It would be like doing a review on the best toasters in the world without including a Dualit"
So Dom...tell me...whats so good about a dualit toaster?!
oh, and to add my tuppence worth to this debate. Ive just read the whole thing, and have learned a fw things
1) It is possible for a Noble to sufer from a catastrophic gearbox failure and splashy sump problems
2) However, the Noble owners experience suggests that whatever goes wrong you'll get brilliant after-sales and they'll try their very best to sort it out
3) Joust has an X5 that tried to kill him.
4) Porsches are generally considered well reliable.
So...useful info for anyone who might be considering buying something...and hence the purpose (as Dom has pointed out) of Pistonheads, is served

And 5) Dualits must be something very special in the toaster world to be mentioned in the same sentence as Nobles and Porsches. 
C'mon Nightmare, get with it.
The Dualit is a glorious piece of toaster design... a true classic (even if it does cook toast in a unique way!). I won't go futher off topic by rabbiting on about it, but it is worth investigating if you are a design whore like me

Oh girl, don't you appreciate design for design's sake??????

Just *look* at the thing!
But then I've been brought up on the things working in the west end for too long.

Hmm - you must be over filling it - have you read the 426 page insruction manual, spoken to the dealer 15 times, replaced the base unit, then the kettle, then the base unit and then the kettle again, and then finally worked out that the max mark is not a max mark, merely a "design feature" where it's only max when it's cold and you, as a superior consumer of finer designed parts are meant to work out that Hl=Ch20+kHEx^Chx/Ymax-Umin+Wx^Ccl2 (which for the non "superior" customer mean you can only ever go to the '4' mark in the SW but easily exceed the '4 and 22/232ths' in Acrinton-on-Stanley)??????

Coffee spillage over keyboard moment. Ludicrous! Well done.
Must say, I find said kettle pretty robust and as the culmination of my culinary repertoire, boils the H2O like Robert Carrier.
However, the matching toaster controls look v.flimsy from memory but that's a device too far and strictly for the domestics.
Sadder than Saddam McSad.
clubsport said: We have the same kitchen ? Dualit toaster...with never used extra sandwich mode is absolute art...The Siemens Porsche kettle thing is the worst Porsche thing i have owned,,,what is with the spewing boiling water over the rim??....it thinks it is a prototype 996 for christ sake!
It's character, you heathen!
PS The lid on mine doesn't shut properly all the time, so I think they borrowed the design from the Griffith boot release.
