Is that why they're popular at fire stations? There are plenty of extinguishers around for when someone leaves one unattended?
You have completely missed the point baz: completely.
The Dualit is a superb piece of design that hasn't been bettered in forty years. Dualits don't break, or very rarely. If they do you can cheaply resurect your high status piece of equipment.
The point of a toaster that doesn't pop up is that it keeps the toast warm until you are ready to eat it. Also a Dualit works at a much lower temperature than any other toaster to ensure superior quality toast. The elements never glow red!
I didn't say they were popular at fire stations I said they are supplied to all Stations. That is because fire fighters can't break them as they would any other toaster. They are built from cast and polished aluminium and chrome steel. They are put together with nuts and bolts.
The operating controls are aircraft quality.

And if you do want your toast done on one side (like Sting) you can do that on a Dualit by selecting 1 slice and cooking it in the Right Hand slot.
