Without a lever, does toast ever get stuck in the slot? How about smaller items, like english muffins?

I do english muffins all the time and no sticking. Nothing gets stuck. I LOVE this toaster!!!

Unit works flawlessly...side rails close keeping the bread and everything else in the middle.

Yes, toast does get stuck in the slot. But, that is my only complaint about this toaster. English muffins/bagels work perfectly in this. For, a slice of bread is too wide for the slots, but let me tell you - thicker breads like muffins/bagels are perfectly toasted and ready to go on "4". For bread I turn the heat setting down to "3". I don't think you will be sorry with this purchase. It's heavy duty, and, well, cool......... :)

We do English muffins all the time without a problem. There is a button that allows you to cancel the toasting cycle, so the mechanism lifts the toast up. The only issue we've had was with wider slices of bread, but if you give the bread a little push as it's lowering, it goes down just fine.

Toast does not get stuck in the slot. It has an adjustable slot....as it lowers it automatically hugs and centers the English muffin or bread to properly align it. This is more expensive, but it works very well.

Love this toaster. Have never had a problem with English Muffins, bagels, any kind of bread, etc... I'd buy another one in a second, and/or give one as a gift.

Nope! This is an excellent toaster that automatically adjusts to the size of the bread or English muffin!

no, it's rather small inside. I can for fit four English muffin slices in there fine but only two pieces of toast at a time. the more I use it the less I would recommend it honestly.

The slots seem to be wide enough. I have toasted Brownberry and Beefsteak bread in it no problem.

The toaster is slanted and has two levers on front. I think that is what you mean. One lever is to push toast down and the other lever is to raise the toast out. The slots are deeper and wider than other toasters. One of the reasons I bought it. It also fits great in a corner pf your counter. I tried other toasters and they just did not do the job for thicker cuts of bread or bagels. This one does. Very sleek and modern look. I personally love mine and wonder why it is not more popular. Hope this is helpful.

Hi Sharon,There is not a mechanical adjustment on this toaster for odd size bread or thin bagels. For odd size bread, such as the Orowheat style, I just rotate the bread.

Yes , I have toasted bread and English muffins. You have to put it on bottom without anything under it. Hope this helps. Watch carefully or it will burn

You can toast things that don't fit in a toaster just use broil and use the top rack slot to toast one side at a time.RickS

No.But just as an update I will tell you I still love my toaster!It is used for toast every day and eggs & toast a few times a week. I have eliminated frivolous kitchen gadgetry and although this may be a novelty, it is very very useful.

It's about 2 inches,can fit English muffin ,i like this toaster.there is only one thing if you toast only one slice of bread it's gets real dark you will have to adjust the darkness on the side of toaster.

No, it's not made for the mini - I got it anyway and will keep it, but the silicone feet do not fit into the recessed area on the top of the toaster. I could remove the feet and move it to the right places (feet are affixed with 2 phillips head screws/foot), but it doesn't seem necessary - the feet are supported by the outer edges on the toaster... I'm not planning to put anything heavy on it. And I like that the cutting board is raised off the top of the toaster. So, "No, it does not fit well, but for me it works okay. And if you want to put some work into it, you could make it fit" No, it's not made for the mini - I got it anyway and will keep it, but the silicone feet do not fit into the recessed area on the top of the toaster.

Yes and no. Thick bread fits, but you have to push it in as the slot starts to recede.

there is just one lever to push down the bread, hence both slots will drop and heat. So both sides will be used. I am pretty sure.It is a nice toaster though. I have been thru many.

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.

Whatever the answer, the slots are certainly not long enough to toast a whole slice of rye bread, however being an engineer and designer, I discovered that when I cut the slice in half (I eat rye bread every day) it fits very nicely, and tastes deliciously.I hope this helps you. Peter

I don't see coming out the FRONT of any toaster, that would be odd! We bought this 4 slice toaster, because it was rated number 1 with consumer reports! We haven't opened it yet as our Breville Toaster Oven does a beautiful job on toast, muffing, bagels, etc., and I don't have to clutter the countertop with another appliance! We are taking the toaster to our other house where the 5 yr. old Kitchen Aid toaster, has died, which means I haven't taken this toaster out of the box! If you're tight on space, go for the Breville Toaster Oven. It is a DREAM and got it thru Amazon. We are only two people & I hardly EVER use the large electric oven!,,, I don't see coming out the FRONT of any toaster, that would be odd!

I agree that the slots are big enough for sliced bagels, not a whole bagel. The heating elements themselves do not move closer to the bread/bagels, there are so-called 'clamps' that once the bread is lowered into the toaster, it will close/lock in the bread, from both sides to hold the bread in the middle of the heating elements so that the bread does not lean to one side or the other. It then releases when toasting is complete and rises to the top. Personally I think this helps to toast evenly on both sides.

Yea! The first toaster I've tried that toasts without my having to manipulate the bread. I would buy this toaster again. Love it!
