How does this toaster handle very thin slices of bread and english muffins? Do they fall through like my current toaster?

They do toast very well though you need to be careful where you set the dials for them since they can turn to carbon if left too long at too high a heat. Be judicious in regard to how much raspberry jelly you use since it can drip off and spoil your best Sunday Shirt.

No. IT is a terrible product.Things get stuck in it, and because of the interior design it is impossible to remove items. I've even had to resort to turning the toaster upside down and using a knife. Toast ends up either being dug out in pieces or falls to the bottom where it is stuck for ever. Even when it does manage to toast a piece of bread and the bread can be taken out the toasting is uneven, dark or burned edges, with middle not toasted. Don't buy it.

The reason I bought this toaster was to toast Bagels. It works great, the bagel is nicely toasted but still soft in the middle. Before getting this toaster I had to squash the bagel flat to toast it now I get to eat a nice fluffy bagel. Enjoy your new toaster.

No, this toaster does not toast evenly and I was very disappointed with this purchase. I read the reviews and they looked good but the toaster did not live up to the good ratings and I'm not that picky.

Nope, I do english muffins and toast with no problems although when I first got it, it appeared the interior elements weren't heating as much as the outer but it has always worked great.

Absolutely!! The one reminder is that it toasts more on the side toward the center in the toaster, but we toast mostly English muffins and that is perfect. I have regular toast and use the 3 setting also. ALSO THE BIGGEST SELLING POINT is that this toaster DOES NOT TOSS YOUR TOASTED ITEMS ON THE FLOOR!!! Love this toaster.

This toaster accommodates standard bread slices & bagels with ease. We purchase a brand of wheat sourdough that is wider than standard so I have to either slice off a bit before toasting or toast half at a time. Fortunately, this is a unique size loaf so I would not expect to find an upright toaster to accommodate it. I could purchase a toaster oven but who needs the clutter?

We have not had any problem with bread being hard to remove from the toaster. We only use diet bread in our home.

Sorry, I no longer have the toaster. It was not a very good toaster.For the price, I expected excellent toast. After trying three different long slice toasters, I have given up.If I need to toast long bread I use the oven.The replacement toaster was a fraction of this one and toasts to near perfection.

Only if you turn the slice so that it entirely enters the toast chamber. I use a nonstandard loaf of artisan bread, and, rarely, the slices are just a little oversize. As to thickness of the slice, I have not had any problems.

They are nice long slots - long enough for a piece of big sourdough bread or two English muffins. I am liking the toaster a lot. It is a little sporty getting the correct setting for toast as the little lever at the bottom moves easily and then the amount of toasting changes. No other problems though. I like the "take a little look" feature.

Yes, sometimes I have the same experience especially with frozen bread. I toast mainly English muffins and heavy, multi grain, whole wheat breads. But even so it does a better job than other toasters I've tried.

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

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.

I would say it is a miss print. I just picked it up and it is not heavy. Although I looked at consumer reports and it looked to be a good toaster. However mine not so much. The toast is twice as toasted on one side, hardly toasted on the other from the first day I used it.

No. I also have found it to be very light and flimsy. The toast does not always pop up, it just turns off. I'd look a little more.
