Our Verdict

Dualit 2 Slice NewGen Classic

Dualit Design Series 4 Slice

The Dualit 2 Slice NewGen Classic has a better toasting performance than the Dualit Design Series 4 Slice. Both offer a fantastic toasting range, but the NewGen toasts much more evenly. Its timer lets you know around when your toast will be ready. Of course, the Design Series 4 has more capacity, but its slots are also longer and deeper. It's also more consistent over multiple batches, although with either model, you'll need to adjust the shade setting for consistent results if you're making a lot of toast.
