If toasting more than Wonder bread is your hope, don't buy this thing. As a matter of fact stay away from Cuisinart altogether. My wife replaced our old Cuisinart, if two-years is old, with a new Cuisinart. We threw the last one out when it started making toxic odors akin to melting plastic, and it became difficult toasting bread when the lever lowering the toast wouldn't stay down. The latest one will be returned shortly, unused, because we do not know of bread made so small that may fit in this toaster. The mouth may be wide, but it is terribly short. You can basically toast only one piece at a time because you would have to cut your bread in half to get it in the toaster.
