Breville Die-Cast 4-Slice Smart Toaster vs Dualit Design Series 4 Slice

If you're looking for a 4-slot toaster and trying to decide between the Breville Die-Cast 4-Slice Smart Toaster and the Dualit Design Series 4 Slice, go for the Breville. Although it takes longer to toast and dries your bread a little in the process, it toasts much more evenly than the Dualit, leaving each slice evenly browned on both sides. It's a better choice for bagels, too, since it toasts only the cut side more effectively, leaving the outside of your bagel soft. The Breville also includes a cycle countdown indicator, so you know approximately when it's time to start buttering. And while it leaves a few more crumbs behind than the Dualit, the crumb tray does a decent job catching them.
