Does this toaster take long slices of bread like Orowheat or just the cheaper square slices of bread? thanks

It is a pretty compact toaster and only takes regular size bread, you can cut a slice of a larger loaf in half and put a half in each side. I have had better toasters but it is a pretty good value.

Slot length is five and one quarter inches. The toaster will accept thick bread and bagels, will heat one side only if desired. It is not a fast toaster, but does toast evenly. Two slices at a time are OK, but if there is just one slice, the finished toast may 'shoot' out onto the table. It has a button for quickly turning off the toaster if this is desired for any reason. Normal position of the heat control is near 2 - 3 on the dial. Power cord length is about 3 feet. It does not have a lot of 'bells and whistles', but for the money it is OK. We will keep using it.

It takes longer slices of bread. I use Arnolds bread which is longer the the standard break size.

It does take full size pieces of bread, but I returned the toaster and filed this review:This is a terrible product - even at its low cost. I'm very grateful that amazon took it back and refunded my money so I could buy something else. There were three issues: 1) NOT WIDE ENOUGH - though advertised as a bagel toaster, the slots were not wide enough; 2) DANGEROUS - most of the time, the toast did not pop-up high enough and I was forced to use put a knife in to get the toast out; 3) RIDICULOUS - sometimes a slice of toast would actually pop straight out of the toaster and land on the counter.

It takes a normal size slice of bread. I had an "oversized" loaf of bread the other day and had to cut the slice in half to fit into the toaster. This is not a problem with us, however, because we use Sarah Lee or a similar loaf. We have done bagels without a problem. The slots are wider than our former toaster. As far as I know it only comes in red. I did have toast pop out of the toaster a few times. Update Nov. 3, 2013: This toaster worked for about six months, then died. I do not recommend buying it.

The size of the slot is right about 5.5 inches long, so if your bread slice is longer than that it won't fit. In response to the other people who answered, each slot is about 3/4 of an inch wide. I haven't had any trouble toasting bagels in it, but I would imagine larger ones might get stuck. HOWEVER, when that happens, there is absolutely no reason to use a knife, the little handle can be raised up quite a bit higher in order to lift the toast out (that's one of the reasons I bought this toaster. No danger with using short bread). And yeah, I agree it has spring strong enough to launch toast out onto the counter.

Yes, the slots will hold longer slices of bread, there is plenty of room. If there is only one slice of toast in the toaster, it will fly out - but two slices pop up normally.

Oh, it is quite long enough to toast bread. This toaster is far and away the most versatile and user-friendly toaster I have ever encountered.

I don't know about the 2 slice, but on the 4 slice toaster, the cord is towards the front, but is located underneath it. Personally, I don't like that design, but the toaster itself is awesome! Mine gets used at least 2x a day. It does great on English Muffins and works well for buns and bread. The best toaster that I have seen in years. Hope it lasts, but if not, I hope to be able to replace it with the same model.

It does not say on the toaster, however I measured it with my watt/hour meter and ituses 820 Watts. The one I have toasts very nice and is consistent from slice to slice.

I do not fully understand your question. You can put 4 normal slices in the toaster, or you can put two slices up to 10" long X 5" high X 1" wide. You can toast the artisan breads, which can be quite long.

It's a large toaster and will take up almost a square foot of counter space. It fits bagels comfortably. Smaller bread sizes get help out of the toaster with the middle levers that lift the toast further up so that you don't burn your fingers. I've found long bread slices don't fit as well. Usually, I have to pressure them a bit to make the length fit. Over all I'm satisfied with this toaster.

Yes, the bagel function only toasts the inside of the bagel. If you don't select the bagel function the toaster functions normally and toasts both sides of the bread.

Yes but you have to put in two slices of bread on each side. If you only use one no matter which nunber you put it on it will not toast right. We studied toasters before wr bought it. It was the best one and it toasts great as long as you put two slices of bread. Riduculous! I would not by it again.

I'm thinking that you might be asking about bread, like sourdough, where each slice is pretty wide? If so, Nope. I need to cut the bread in half and toast 2 pieces...sorry

This would be best answered by Amazon its a great toaster and we love it by the way.

The tray does catch the crumbs but I would not recommend this toaster. The slots are not deep enough to take a regular slice of bread all the way in, leaving the top of the slice not toasted. The center heater does not get as hot as the two outer heaters and you end up with one side of each slice burnt.

Yes, it takes longer to toast. I always used Udi's before. But these do make bigger slices and it was really delicious. Go ahead and try it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I have the toaster that only does two slices but when I do one slice the other side remains cool.

It makes great toast six slices or more. We use it for that all the time, including all the usual toast-like items. On ours, the switch for baking is no longer reliable, so we use it in toast mode most of the time.

We've had our dualit over 10 years and I love it. Just bought one for my Mother too and she usually only toasts one slice of bread or half of an english muffin. The speed is fast enough for us too, definitely faster than our old one.

I have the 4 slice version of this toaster. The slots are 5 1/2 inches long, and will fully submerge an Einstein bagel when sliced in 2. Very good toaster, no issues other than finger prints on stainless steel. Operates easily. plus it has a beeper to let you know your toast is done, a neat accessory when you are busy in the kitchen.

I got the four-slice toaster (CPT-180), not the two-slicer but I don't suppose that makes much difference in terms of your question. The toaster is made in China. I don't think the metal is as thick as your standard-issue old school toaster from the mid-20th century, but it doesn't seem thin either. In an earlier review I complained a bit about having to re-toast the bread a bit to get a really toasted slice of toast, but that's something typical of most modern toasters. Anyway, since then I've discovered a way to get it right the first time around by fiddling with the bagel and defrost settings.
