Does Bagel function only toast the inside of the bagel, also when not using bagel setting does bread toast properly?

The inside toasts, but the outside warms . It will crisp up if you use a higher setting. Bread is toasted just like any other toaster.

The bagel function toasts both sides, unfortunately. It's a deal breaker for us, even though this is a great looking toaster.

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.

After about a year of use, our toaster got stuck on the bagel setting, and would ONLY toast one side of the bread. Tried all sorts of things to get it back to regular toasting, to no avail. Not pleased at all.

Haven't used it for Bagels (yet)....... Toasts just fine for bread....we love it!

I'm pretty sure the bagel function just adds additional time since the bagel is thicker and a bit moister than a regular piece of bread and it takes longer to get it to the desired toastyness. So if you pick level 4 for the darkness, but don't use the bagel feature, your bagel won't get as brown as a normal piece of toast would at the same setting.

The bagel function makes the outer part toasted and warms the inside of the bagel. It is primarily for thick bread, like a bagel. We also use it on English muffins, because we like the outside crisp and the inside moist. Hope this helps. We have given this toaster to many of our family members as gifts and EVERYONE loves it.

No, it doesn't. It has Bake, Broil, Rotisorie, and works very well. I suppose you could put your toast in, and set it on broil and turn it over and toast the other side. I am very pleased with this product.

Haven't tried bagel function. Does not toast bread as well as I would like, edges sometimes burn.

It makes wonderful toast! The "keep warm" function is optional. If you use the "keep warm" button, the toaster will turn off but the toast will stay down until you're ready for it. If you don't use the "keep warm" button, it toasts normally.

No. Haven't tried it. Using the bag might work to give the sandwich more flavor but I don't know for sure if the bread will toast.

No it doesn't. But it is really big and does not handle small items well. If you just toast bagels and you have lots of room, you should be OK.

Joan,Yes it does toast bread. It has a timer to control the darkness of the toast and it works quite well.Tom

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but the toaster is only on when it is toasting...when the bread/item being toasted comes up, the toaster turns off.

You press bagel, defrost or reheat and toast. It lowers the bread until finished and then raises it and beeps.

Of course it even has a setting for English muffin. I pretty much only use this for bagels and muffins. The slide secures the bread item then moves itself down. The entire toaster is automated. It's the most advanced toaster I have seen. Better than the kitchen aid pro.

You put the outside of the bagel facing outward. The inside faces each other. If I buy lots of fresh bagels from someplace like panera, I place them in a large freezer baggie. I can take one out at a time just for me, place frozen in toaster. Press frozen and bagel at the same time, set the dial at 5 or 6, then start toasting. Works great. Hope this helped.

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.

The KRUPS toaster has 3 functions (buttons) - Defrost - Reheat - Bagel. The bagel will be toasted on the cut sides and warmed on the outside - Toasting chamber automatically lifts bagel and lever once toasting cycle is complete (have never used this function)

Megan: You should not have a high pitched noise when you plug it in. I would exchange it. I have the four slice version and like it very much. It does a better job of toasting than any toaster I have had before. I especially like the bagel setting and my husband like the reheat setting. We have not had a reason to use the defrost setting. The count down is especially helpful when making eggs to go with the toast, as everything is timed to be down perfectly.

Yes, there is a bagel button. I, also, do not agree with Janet. I LOVE my toaster, & also purchased one for my daughter, & she also loves it, too!! I totally rrcommend this toaster!

Very Happy with this toaster ! We don't do bagels very much but when we do, we are happy with them. I believe both sides toast I do know on bread, the 35 calorie per slice type does not toast well but the regular wheat bread does. That seems to indicate that different types of bread and some muffin brands and bagels do not toast well while others do. All in all, I would recommend this toaster to anyone.
