Dome kettle time and time again same problem !
Having always had a dome kettle and the same problem occurring several times . Just being out of warranty (funny that)! I am extremely disappointed when once again the same problem has happened the glass which shows how much water is in the kettle has cracked . I was informed it is out of warranty and not repairable ! Maybe time to choose a different make I have always been happy with Dualit service I have a toaster as well .

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that you have experienced problems with your Dualit Dome kettle.

Dreadfully inefficient repairs function!
I’ve just read a review from a frustrated customer whose expensive Dualit Classic kettle developed a faulty switch when only just out of warranty - i feel your pain, and have learned the same expensive lesson the hard way re these Dualit products! That customer was wise to just purchase another kettle and decline the suggestion to mail the item to Dualit and potentially pay around £54 for a repair. My classic kettle developed exact same switch fault (doesn’t cut out when water boils - has to be manually switched off every time). I, regrettably, sent mine into their repair team and thus far have experienced the following;
-there are no local repair depts (i live in NWest England) so you have to package the kettle up and pay a significant carriage fee to get it delivered to Sussex
-it then takes them 2 days from receiving it (i have delivery date from Royal Mail tracking) to ‘log it on their system’
- from this point onward they tell you it could be a turn around time of up to 21 working days ( so probably nearer 4 weeks in terms of total real-time wait)
- not forgetting of course, this is just the time taken to inspect and produce a concluding report/confirm your repair fee. Presumably they will then be contacting me asking do i want to proceed - lord knows what the total wait will be in terms of actually getting a working kettle back in my possession.
Customers considering buying one of these overpriced kettles please heed this advice - if anything goes wrong with your kettle, even if it’s under warranty - this is the kind of endurance you will be facing.
My strong recommendation is to steer well clear!

Thank you for your comments. We are aware that the time taken to turnaround repairs at the moment is longer than we would like. This is due to several factors that we hope to have resolved soon so that we can get 'back on track'. You should be hearing from Customer Services shortly with the inspection report/quotation. We realise that being without an appliance is an inconvenience and we apologise for the delay. Best regards Dualit
Save your money and buy a cheapie!
Being fed up with mass-market toasters which toast bread unevenly and work erratically when heated up from cold -- we like our second slice -- we decided to splash out and buy Dualit.
Big mistake. It worked fairly well for a few months but now it toasts one side of the bread and not the other. We're reduced to turning the slices halfway through.
Just as an experiment we brought our ancient Morphy Richards from our attic reserve. Eight years old and it performs just as well as the Dualit. Much over rated and over priced in our view.

I'm surprised to see that Duralit…
I'm surprised to see that Duralit toasters are still experiencing sticking timers which could burn your house down. Looking at reviews, the kettles are just as bad.
These items may be assembled in the UK but the timers are sourced outside the UK and seem of poor quality. I have a similar timer fitted to a Mazzer coffee bean grinder and it has been used several times a day for over 10 years without a problem. My duality one has failed and when it fails it fails unsafe.
Still, it's good to see that Duralit have finally acknowledged this problem and now advise people to stand over their toaster whilst using it, and disconnect it from the mains when not in use - really, who unplugs their toaster after every use?

Thank you for your comments. We are sorry to hear that you have experienced this problem with your Dualit Classic toaster.
As a responsible manufacturer, all Dualit products undergo rigorous testing and approvals and this particular design has been manufactured by Dualit, using similar controls, since 1955.
The Timer units we use in these toasters are manufactured for us by an industry renowned French company and are the highest quality of its kind that we can source. Unfortunately, any mechanical part is susceptible to wear & tear, similar to the brake shoes on a car, for example.
It is for this reason that we have always stipulated in our Instruction Manual that the appliance is not left unattended during use and is switched off at the socket when not in use. In addition, an 'Unplug After Use' - Fire Risk notification is now printed on the front of the timer knob.
All toasters sold in Europe and North America (regardless of brand) are classified as an ‘Attended Appliance’, not by us but by international approval bodies and the international safety standards which govern small electrical appliances including toasters.
Since 2014, we have patented and put into production on all commercial & domestic toasters a thermal protection device which will cause the toaster to shut off if it detects that it is overheating. This can now be retro fitted to older Classic toaster models too. However, this device will not prevent unattended bread from burning in the event of a malfunction.
Put simply, toasting bread is the process of applying heat to a combustible substance and therefore, care & attention must always be taken when using a toaster. This applies to any make or model of toaster.
The Classic toaster is fully repairable and faulty components can be replaced if need be. Best regards Dualit.
Amazing what it cannot do
I have a two-slice toaster that decided to misbehave. Even on high setting it doesn't toast my bread or when it does it only toasts one side. Contacted customer service who told me that the toaster has difficulty with toasting sourdough bread, granary bread and brown bread. Practically any bread I might buy. As an experiment I tried to toast a slice from a loaf of white sliced bread, something I don't usually eat. Still no luck. The reason apparently is that it cannot toast one slice,you must toast two slices whether you want to or not.
My view is that if this toaster struggles with so many things,types of breads as well as the quantity,it should be pointed out to the customer at the point of sale.

Thank you for your comments and we are sorry that you are having issues with your toaster. There are a great many varieties of bread available these days and not all of them will toast well. The toaster does not know what is put into the slot. It just applies heat for a set amount of time. How well the bread toasts will depend on its ingredients. Depending on what the ingredients are will have an effect on the results. For example, in our research we have found that sourdough bread can be quite tricky to toast effectively whilst gluten free bread just does not toast very well at all due to its density.
From your description, it sounds as though you may have one of the models that does not have the individual slot selector. On this model toaster, the slots cannot be set to work independently of each other. The ejector lever activates both slots at the same time.
If you are toasting 1 slice of bread in this toaster, this means that there will be an empty active slot with nothing in it to absorb the heat generated. Most of the heat will be lost but some of it will be absorbed by the bread in the adjacent slot leading to uneven toasting. We call this heat transfer. This can only be avoided by toasting either 2 slices which would mean that there would be no empty but active slots.
Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience
Best regards Dualit
Great service
Our Dualit kettle has been on the go for a few years and recently we noticed a problem with the window glass. My husband contacted Dualit to ask about a replacement part. They said they couldn’t provide this part but offered to repair the kettle free of charge if we posted it to their service department. After a week we got the kettle back in good order (glass on both sides had been replaced) and it had been polished as well - looks brand new. I think this was fantastic service. We also have a Dualit toaster which has far outlasted any other toaster we’ve ever bought. I would not hesitate to buy a Dualit product again.

Dear Lemon Sherbet. We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the taste of the water coming from your kettle. Obviously that shouldn't be the case. It sounds as though you have tried everything. If you have verified that it is not the water supply then we would recommend that you return the kettle to the retailer. Please accept our apologies for the disappointment that you have experienced.

Dualit jug kettle packed up a couple of month's past the 2yr warranty period, was told by Customer services that not repairable (on/off switch on kettle would not stay on)
Bought the kettle because our 20+ year old 4 slot Dualit toaster is still going strong and expected same quality.

I bought a Dualit Kettle because I understood it was manufactured in the UK but have now discovered it was made in China. Having been disappointed with a range of Kitchen Aid products which we understood were made in the USA and after purchase, discovered they were also made in China. Products made in China are poor and do not last long. Very disappointed.
Thank you for your reply Dualit Company. Too many products are made badly in China from clothing to other products. The Dualit kettle we bought will not become unsightly as it is not coated with enamel by Kitchen Aid, which is all wearing off. This Dualit kettle is stainless steel and we hope will last us for several years. We have planned to purchase a toaster but only if it is made in UK as the Kitchen Aid toaster has been enamelled, also. Thank you.

I expected better…
I bought a DUALIT 1.5ltr kettle model JKT43 about 2 years ago. About 3 weeks ago I noticed water underneath the kettle after it had boiled. After inspection I found a leak in the window on the side of the kettle.
I researched this and found other customers had had similar issues. When I rang customer services they told me the kettle was not repairable and because the warranty had expired they could only offer me a discount on a new kettle as a good will gesture. I asked if this was a common problem and the agent did say there had been similar complaints about this kettle.

Thank you for your comments and we are sorry to hear that you are having this issue with your Dualit Lite jug kettle. Our agent confirmed that they had heard of this issue before. Over many years and many thousands of kettles, Customer Services will hear of instances where, despite our best efforts, kettles have developed a problem. We monitor and track fault data to ensure that we can act in the unlikely event that a recurring fault is detected in a particular batch or model. We have no data to suggest that there is an inherent issue with this model. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience that you have incurred. Best regards Dualit
Sold a dud via the reconditioned toaster scheme
We bought a reconditioned toaster from Dualit in 2022 because we thought it would be high quality and repairable. It arrived not working and we've had problems with it on and off ever since. It's now on its second visit back to Dualit for repairs and we've just received a bill for £70 in parts and labour to fix it. Have decided to give up and buy a Rowlett toaster instead. One extra star because the Dualit customer services people are nice!

Dualit - unsafe product
Paid approx. £130 for a kettle. Bought on the premise that it could be repaired economically and sustainably. So far 2 repairs. £50 per repair and in fact all other kettled we have owned have easily out lasted this one. But only that they were significantly cheaper. Customer Service did not seems to grasp why I was so disappointed.
Product fell short short of high expectations for a kettle at this price point.
In my opinion the kettle was not safe at all and did not turn off once boiling, filling our kitchen with steam. Intermittently the kettle would turn off before boiling.
Dear Dualit, your response confirms why I will not buy into your brand again. Why would a thermostat be required if the kettle is classed as an attended appliance? A thermostat is therefore a safety device in the eventuality of non attendance. The thermostat is a very basic part of the kettle, yet this is a common point of failure in your product. Irrespective of the guarantee period Dualit are responsible for the product in the market place which does not meet basic requirements and reasonable expectations. I will not buy into a brand which overlooks their product safety responsibilities.

Thank you for your comments. We are sorry to hear that you have been having issues with your Classic kettle and that it has fallen short of your expectations. If anything goes wrong with the kettle within the warranty period then repairs would be free of charge. If anything requires addressing outside of the warranty period however then that would normally be chargeable. Please note that electric kettles (all brands) are classed as attended appliances and this means that users should always be in the vicinity whilst the appliance is in operation. Best regards Dualit.
3 in 1 Coffee Machine doesn't last a year
Bought a coffee machine from them. The first machine started leaking after 18months. I initially assumed I wasn't descaling it enough so I bought another machine, exactly the same.
This time descaled it monthly. Almost at the year mark, stars to leak but I sent it to Dualit as it was under warranty. They didn't open the machine and want to charge me for the repair as claim I didn't descale it properly.

Thank you for your comments. We are sorry to hear that you have experienced this issue with your 3 in 1 machine. Our engineers examination (which includes an internal inspection as standard) showed that one of the water pipes was blocked with scale. Failure of the machine through a fault of manufacture or material is covered by warranty. Issues caused by outside influence that can be prevented by essential cleaning & maintenance are not covered. Given the discovered root cause of the issue, this would be chargeable. We can see that, as a gesture of their goodwill, our repairs department has reduced the service charge to rectify this issue from £40 to £10 + vat for you. Best regards Dualit.
Unsafe Dualit Classic Kettle 2…
I bought a Dualit Classic Kettle 2 years ago and the switch started sticking so contacted customer services who said they could repair for £56 and I would have to post to them. Not really acceptable for a kettle of this price (£150)! Then today as I was luckily standing in the kitchen as it was boiling the switch on kettle started crackling and flames came out, this is terrible from a safety point of view, the fuse should have blown long before this. Do not buy this kettle it's clearly not safe or fit for purpose!

Thank you for your comments. We are very sorry that you have experienced this issue with your Dualit Classic kettle. What you have described sounds very much like a blown element. A kettle element blowing in such a way is a rare event but can potentially happen in electric kettles. This is one of the reasons why all electric kettles are classed as attended appliances. When an element blows, there is usually a loud bang accompanied by a bright flash, flame or spark emanating from the power switch that may leave scorching on the plastic section around the switch. This all takes place within a split second.
Had the power not been cut when it was and the kettle had been left (although why would you?), we would have expected the fuse to blow or your kitchen RCD to trip within seconds. These kettles will not burn without a sustained power source.
We appreciate that this can be a very unsettling experience and we are very sorry that you have experienced this. Happily, the Classic kettle is repairable and we are aware that Customer Services are in communication with you to get this arranged. Best regards Dualit.

Compostable coffee pods only fit for the compost bin. Not sure that I even want to put them there. Taste like cardboard. Not nice cardboard at that.
I tried these because of Nespresso's new recycling method with the PO which I find a pain and thought being compostable what a good idea. Sorely disappointed.
Even the best before date was only a couple of months.
Have just read there returns policy. Apparently the goods have to be unopened. How do they expect us to try them without opening them. Oh well, back to Nespresso then.

Dualit Lite 4 slice toaster RUBBISH
Bought a Dualit Lite 4 slice toaster and am not happy that it burns one side of the toast when only toasting one slice.

Thank you for your comments. On this model toaster, the slots cannot be set to work independently of each other. There are two ejector levers; one operates the 2 slots on the left and the other operates the 2 slots on the right. If you are toasting either 1 or 3 slices of bread in this toaster, this means that there will be an empty active slot with nothing in it to absorb the heat generated. Most of the heat will be lost but some of it will be absorbed by the bread in the adjacent slot leading to uneven toasting. We call this heat transfer.

The Dualit Dome kettle is not repairable
The Dualit Dome kettle is not repairable, I've have just been told. The Dualit Classic is however. Our Dome kettle has an intermittent contact at the base of the kettle and it is not possible to repair. I find this unbelievable. The contact component is branded Strix and simply has a loose pin. We have no alternative but to dump this otherwise good kettle. £90 for the replacement, which we shall not buy. Buy The Classic or try a Russell Hobbs K2 which are built to last and be repaired.

Dualit kettles not up to scratch
Recently our second Dualit kettle failed due to broken on/off switch. The same problem as the first. Both times the kettles lasted about 6 years. Not the quietest or quickest. Certainly not a standard to aspire to.
Now replaced with a quieter, quicker, cheaper and better Bosch model with additional functions. Plastic it may be but it fits in with our kitchen decor.

Dualit=two year product.
Perhaps Dualit translates too works for two years as that's what has happened with our Dualit classic kettle. It suddenly stopped working yesterday and after checking the fuse and the plug, I called the company and was told it wasn't repairable. The kettle does not switch on at all, no light, no heating element. It's just a bucket now.
