If toasting bagels and or waffles, do they actually pop up enough to remove them with your fingers or do you have to resort to other means?

The lever that pushes the toast down can be raised to remove some items. However, I toast english muffins and use bamboo tongs to remove them as I don't feel the lever raises them quite far enough.

They pop up high, and with the lever you can bring them up a bit higher...nice feature.

The waffles can be picked up with fingers, haven´t gotten bagels yet, very good toaster, browns evenly

They do not PPP up enough. But you can lift the tabs up a little more and they will raise above the top.

There are two crumb trays located on the BACK of the toaster, as opposed to the BOTTOM. But they do slide out easily so you can clean out the collected debris.

They do not "spring up". There is an extra "lift" as other toasters have also. The Bagel button " browns the inside only" and is perfect for our bagel or roll sandwiches. I love the "retro" look!

The bagel function doesn't work that well. Seems to toast the outside of the bagel, not the inside. I just use regular toast feature for all.

Yes, they adjust within limits. Half bagels are no problem and the unit toasts perfectly. The add more time feature really helps if you want the bread or bagel toasted more. Also the setting for toasting is very accurate and it will toast the same way every time. We love ours!

It will take the thick bagels but the top sticks out of top a little so you need to turn bage a 1/3 of turn to toast the top.

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.

Yes, white bread does pop up high enough. Rye bread, not quite as high. and Eng;ish muffins need wood tongs to pull them out. Bamboo toast tongs are highly recommended!

Yes, mine does pop up to a easy removal height. I have also used it for re-heating pillsbury grand biscuits and you have to lift slightly to raise the handle a smidge to remove from toaster. I have been pleased with my Waring toaster.

I don't eat a lot of toast and prefer my bagels untoasted. However, I've used this toaster several times, and don't recall there was any signal other than the toast popping up.

Yup. It will toast one slice at a time with no problem. Same with bagels, muffins and the like.

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

Yes...there is a pull out crumb tray just under the dial knob. It is VERY shallow and should be emptied frequently if you are making a lot of toast! The unit works fine now that I know the correct dial settings. Looks good too!

They don,t appear to be removable. That has not been a problem for me. I hit it with a shot of Pam when I pour in the batter. That combined with what appears to be a great Teflon covering prevent sticking. After use I just wipe it down. One point follow the directions for pouring in the batter. To much and it will will pop the grill open and make a mess. One other point when you turn it on to make your first waffle wait approx. a minute after it beeps its ready. I love this machine makes GREAT waffles. The first one will seem slow but when you get going you can really get the production going. By the way the waffles are big.

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 have not toastsed a bagel however I am not pleased with this toaster. I toast bread that is longer than a piece of white bread & that type does not fit into the slots. I have to cut the bread in half and toast it that way. I am not referring to the width of the bread. The slots are wide enough for thick bread or a bagel but too short north to south for a piece of bread that is longer that a typical slice of white bread.
