How long are the slots inside (not wide)? I have trouble with my bread rubbing the sides on my current model.

You can almost fit two average bagels lengthwise in one slot. PS-mine burned out within three months. Paid $13 to get a new one from the company.

I just measured mine for you...approx. 5 3/4 " X 1 1/8 ". These are like the professional models you would use in a Hotel. You can fit bagels. They even have a defroster ! I Love mine ! Best toaster I could have bought ! Hope this helps !

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

The slots easily fit a regular slice of bread. They are deep enough that the entire English muffins disappears and you'll need to fish for it with a fork when its done (after pulling the plug). KJ

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.

I, too, would like to know the diameter of the base of the pan, the sides look slanted in the picture? Hoping for 8" to bake no-knead bread inside...Can anyone help? Thank you!

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.

Mine measures a little less than 10" (more like 9 3/4" tall) tall and close to 5" left to right per side of square. A regular size loaf of bread fits just right.

The slots measure 5-3/8". Have no problem toasting BEEFSTEAK HEARTY RYE which is exactly 6". The toaster is deep enough to accept bread at a slight angle and still toast completely. Hope this helps!

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.

1½ inches. There are inner holders that grab the item as it lowers, holding it in place.All four of my slots work but the heating is quite uneven from slot to slot and even WITHIN the slots. Both sides do not heat the same. Not terribly happy with the purchase.

The manual is totally inconsistent on this. At another point it says: "Do not toast breads thicker than 1 inch in the toasting slots. For extra thick bread slices, warm using the warming rack." So which is it, can you warm with the warming rack or not??

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

No, slots are not longer than any regular toaster. It is okay, but this is the 3rd toaster we have had in 6 years. Really doesn't do a nice toasting. Have not found one so far that does.

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.

Just put the removable thickness guide in the slot that comes closest to the thickness you want, slide the bread in against the guide, put your bread knife in the slot, & cut away. Here is a link to a short YouTube video that shows it pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRX5l4wKYD8

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.

I just put 2 standard loaves of whole grain bread in one without squishing the bread. I do not think the longer ones would fit. I hope this helps.
