I have a 4 slice Dualit[1] I bought in 2004 and it still works perfectly.

It's an unchanging point of reliability in our kitchen.

The Classic model is basically an old catering toaster design from the 1950s. So it has "anti-features" that make it suitable for a commercial setting where you're making lots of toast to order. e.g. you can pop the bread to check it without resetting the timer and there's no spring to wear out.

As far as I'm concerned the high quality toaster, made in a free democratic country, is a solved problem.
