Pros
Easy (3)
Not enough adjustment.
My one issue with the toaster was that the “Timer Settings” needed to be different. The settings ranged from 1 to 6. It would toast normal sliced bread - not enough on Setting 1 (1min 20sec), but a bit too much on Setting 2 (2min 12secs). Unless you wanted charcoal, I can’t see anyone realistically using Setting 6!

Looks Great
I really like the look of the toaster in our kitchen. The time to toast is easy to vary which is fabulous as we have opposite ideas when it comes to toast. I like lightly toasted and he likes well toasted.

toast to perfection
So far our Durapres Toast IQ Toaster is toasting everything perfectly, haven't sent up any smoke signals since bringing it home.. Love the look, easy to use, and as I said before toasts perfectly. I hadn't heard of this brand before, but am very happy with my purchase.

Great toaster easy to use, even toasting as well, has a screen that tells you the time and depending on what setting will increase or decrease the time.

At a glance
The Durapres Toast IQ is a compact 2-slice toaster designed for singles, couples and small households who want simple, repeatable results. Its digital display, countdown timer and six browning settings make everyday toasting easy, while wide 35 mm slots suit thicker bread and crumpets. A key limitation is its smaller 2-slice capacity, which is less suited to larger families or busy breakfast rushes.

- Everyday Breakfast
- Small Household Use
- Repeatable Toasting
- Toasting Thicker Bread

Where it works best
- Small Kitchens
- Apartments

- Office Kitchenettes
- Modern Home Kitchens
Who it’s for
- Singles
- Couples
- Small Households
- Apartment Dwellers
- Everyday Home Cooks
Things to consider
Its 2-slice format is convenient for compact spaces, but it is less suitable than 4-slice or premium long-slot models for larger households or preparing multiple servings at once.
Family suitability score
5/10 - well suited to singles and couples, but the 2-slice capacity is limited for family breakfasts.
Ease of cleaning rating
8/10 - the removable crumb tray and stainless steel exterior make regular cleanup straightforward.
Small kitchen fit
Excellent - compact 2-slice design with cord storage suits smaller benches and apartments.
Bread type versatility
8/10 - 35 mm wide slots, defrost mode and crumpet support make it practical for standard bread, thicker slices and crumpets.
Key benefits
- Digital display: Shows the selected browning level and countdown timer so it is easier to repeat your preferred toast result.
- 6 browning settings: Gives you a wider range of toast colour control for different bread types and personal preferences.
- 35 mm wide slots: Fits thicker bread and crumpets more comfortably than narrow-slot designs.
- Defrost function: Lets you toast frozen bread directly without needing to thaw it first.
- Reheat program: Warms toast again without starting a full browning cycle from scratch.
- Digitech controls: Makes it easy to change settings or cancel mid-cycle for more control during busy mornings.
- Removable crumb tray: Helps simplify routine cleaning and bench upkeep.
- Cord compartment: Keeps excess cord tucked away for tidier storage and cleaner bench presentation.
Q: Is this toaster better for singles, couples, or larger families?
A: Durapres DT520 is best suited to singles, couples, or a smaller household because it toasts 2 slices at a time. It is fine for everyday breakfasts, but a larger household may find batch toasting slower at busier times.
Q: Will thick-cut bread or crumpets fit in the slots?
A: Yes. The 35mm slots are designed for thicker slices and crumpets, so standard bread and many cafe-style loaves should fit comfortably. Very oversized artisan pieces may still sit high or need trimming before toasting.
Q: Can it toast frozen bread without thawing it first?
A: Yes. Durapres DT520 has a defrost function, so frozen bread can go straight into the toaster without pre-thawing. Toasting results can still vary with bread thickness and moisture, so denser slices may need a higher browning setting.
Q: Does the digital display actually help with toast consistency?
A: Yes. Durapres DT520 shows the selected browning level and a live countdown, which makes it easier to repeat the same setting on later rounds. It helps with consistency, but it does not increase capacity beyond a standard 2 slice toaster.
Q: Is there a reheat setting for toast that has gone cold?
A: Yes. Durapres DT520 includes a reheat program for warming toast that has cooled without starting a full fresh cycle. It is useful for short delays at breakfast, but it is not the same as making lightly toasted bread from scratch.
Q: What trade-offs should I expect from this compact toaster?
A: Durapres DT520 keeps things simple with digital browning control, wide slots, and easy-clean features in a compact body. The trade-off is capacity, because it is a 2 slice toaster and does not add premium extras such as a motorised lift.
