Some complain that the slots don't fit bread side-by-side. How many inches long is the slot into which bread goes?

The slot is 9.75" long. I would say useable space for the bread to go up and down freely is 9.5"My problem is with the outside measurements of the toaster as I store it in a drawer and not on my counter top. It was slightly longer than the size stated online and is a tighter fit than I like in the drawer. It scrapes the outer edges as I put it in. According to the measurements online there should have about a quarter inch of free space allowing the toaster to go in and out of the drawer with ease.We are pleased with the toast it makes. We have owned it about a year. The slot is 9.75" long.

About nine inches. Those that complain refer to wide sliced bread rather than normal bread size. As far as the toaster, we have had it about a year now and we love it.

The slot is 9 5/8 inches long. None of the LEDs work on my CPT-2000 after one year

The slot is 9" long & 1"+ wide. You can always put 1 slice in at a time. The toaster is longer than most 2 slice toasters

you can fit one loaf of bread in it.Don't buy it, no one in the family will use it properly.

5.5 inches length from front to back of slot. Hope this helps. I really believe that this is an excellent toaster for the price. If the bread is too long, toast half, eject and then toast the other side. Mine toasts perfectly and evenly depending on which setting I use.

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. :)

Hi, Deb! It depends on what you mean by "long". I buy Vienna bread from my grocery store bakery and some of the slices are about 1-1/2 the width of a regular slice of bread. I can usually fit them into the slot (front to back) or if they are slightly too wide I can put them in diagonally and get a good result. By width I don't mean how thick it's sliced, I mean side to side measurement. It is about the same depth of any other toaster. Hope this helps you make a choice.

The slot is 5 1/4" wide max. If you measure the bread you are referring to you should get your answer.

The 2 slots are appx. 10" long by 1 3/4" wide. The depth is 6" but the bread probably only goes down about 5". I know it's really expensive but this is the best toaster we have ever had. It is extremely easy to clean inside and out and we have not had trouble with room for thick bagels like our last one. I hope this helps!

The slots are just short of 1 1/2". I love mine, by the way. It is not too fancy and toasts evenly.

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

They fit the larger pieces of bread. I would estimate 6 inches or so. That picture looks like it has 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.

Hi Lizzie. I'm pleased to answer your question. The inside dimensions of the adjustable Bread Keeper are: 6 3/8" wide - plenty of room, and 6 1/8" high if you use the included cutting board. If you don't, it's 6 3/8" high. (This dimension could stand to be a bit larger - maybe a half-inch - to accommodate the tallest breads.) The cutting board is a great feature. You can slide the loaf out easily, just far enough to cut off a slice, then it slides back in just as easily. I have 2 of these units as my husband and I have differing tastes in bread.

It seems that there is an easy problem to the two paddle system. If the paddles align accross the width of the bread rather than the lenght, the damage to the loaf is minimal (2-4 slices have holes). If the padles allign down the lenght of the loaf than all the slices have holes. Does anybody know if the ZO alighns accross the width?

The slots are 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". I think they would accommodate homemade bread made in a loaf pan. Hope this helps!

I would say no. I had this toaster for one day. I bought a loaf of bread and toasted 3 or 4 times. I got a bad one that consistently toasted one side twice as much as the other. But I noticed the slots were not very long or deep. It was faster than usual, though. Since we make a fair amount of home made bread, we need larger slots. I got a breville after measuring slots in the store, and am satisfied with the new unit. They all seem to be made in China, however.

The slots are not extra long. I have toasted longer bread though. The slots are deeper so the toast, while sitting an angle, did toast. Hope this helps.

Slots are 5 1/4 in long, almost 1 1/2 in wide. Once bread is inside, total depth is 4 1/2 in.

We buy specialty breads whose center slices are longer. Because the slots are very deep and a little longer than most, slices can be angled to the slots. Have not found that to be a negative.
