How deep are the slots? I need slots that are about 5.5" or more deep to take rye or pumpernickel bread.

I just measured the slots and, by my son's elementary school ruler,and they measure 5.75. I have had no trouble as I use the toaster primarily with English Muffins. I am not sure of the size of pumpernickel or rye slices, only that I enjoy them when I eat them!Good luck ... I like the toaster very much.May D

I just checked. When the carriage is pressed down, it is exactly 5.5 inches. However, I have toasted some of the Pepperidge Farm pumpernickel rye in this and found it worked for me to cut the slice in half first and use one half in each of the two slots. Hope this helps.

Slots are exactly 5.5 in deep when pushed down into toaster but only 5 in in toasting area.

The slots are only 5" deep. This toaster is only for regular slices of bread. You will have to order a toaster for such a bread from Amazon to serve your purpose.

They are about 5-51/2 inches deep and about 7 inches wide. I thought that toaster slots would be more or less standard. Please remember that these are approximate as it it hard to tell where the heating elements are when it is not on.

This toaster will not work. The slots are not even wide enough to accommodate a slice of rye. I have to put rye bread in sideways and then flip it over in this thing. The slots are shallow and not wide at all.

The slots The slots are 5 1/2 long and 1 1/2 wide. Well fitted for bagels, etc. We're very happy with it.

My bagels, English Muffins (which aren't so big) and multi-grain sliced bread that I get from Costco fits fine. I'm not sure if there is larger bread. The slots are wide enough to accommodate thick slices. The length of each slot is 5 3/8 inch.

The slots are 9 1/2 inches long. This is the best toaster I have ever owned... I am always telling my friends about it!

i believe the question was regarding the opening for the toast as my complaint was that it didn't accomodate the odd shaped bread slices such as pumpernickel. The slots are 6 5/8 inches.

The slots are standard depth for standard size bread. If you want to toast oversize bread, like sourdough, you will need to reverse the bread to toast both ends of it.

The bread slots are 5 1/2" long by 1 1/2" wide - measured at the top surface.

Hi there. The slots are 1.5 inches thick, 5.5 inches across the top, and just over 5.5 inches deep. They are pretty standard and hold any regular sized slice of bread or bagel. Hope that helps.

The toasting slots are 5 1/2 in. long. If I have a long piece of bread, I toast it on it's end, flip and toast other end. Hope this helps your decision making. :)

The "slots" are 1-1/2" wide x 5-3/4" long. Should be sufficient for just about anything you want to toast, including bagels, for which the toaster has a special setting whereby only the inner portions of the bagel are toasted.

I don't think this considered a "long slot' toaster. Each slot is 6 inches long and 4 inches wide. Bagels work fine in 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.

They fit the larger pieces of bread. I would estimate 6 inches or so. That picture looks like ithas regular size bread in it, but it would have plenty of free space if actual. You know the bread like the country style it makes a bigger sandwich, that bread fits in with room! I like the toaster, I had been thru quite a few before this one satisfied me. Fit a half bagel in width wise.

Deb - the toaster is awesome but it doesn't have a 6" wide slot. I measured it and it was closer to the 5" you're quoting. It was a little more than 5" deep when depressed. So you ought to be able to fit something 6" diagonally but not fully vertical or horizontal.

About 1 1/4 inch slots will fit a half bagel slice. But this is a horrible toaster. Beware. Read negative reviews.

It does not have a lengthy slot. It is fine for regular bread. I do toast a Harvest bread. I do not know if you'll be happy with this toaster. I had high hopes for it & am somewhat disappointed.

You should have plenty room. There is room after putting a regular slice of bread in the slot. Hope that helps!
