How long are the slots, i.e., will it handle wide artisan breads?

There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I would every buy a KitchenAid toaster! I rarely used my toaster and in the beginning I had no problem with it....but shortly after the warranty expired, the timer on it wouldn't work and it would not even toast the bread. I called the company and it was ''too bad Charlie Brown'' for me because they wouldn't do anything about it! I am the only person using it....what a waste of money that was, not to mention the aggravation. I have just ordered a ''Cuisinart CPT 320''...I have other Cuinsinart products that I am very happy with. I will never order another KitchenAid Product...CAPUT!....good luck with whatever you decide to do. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I would every buy a KitchenAid toaster!

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.

The slot length is 5 1/4 inch. Takes standard size slices with little additional clearance.

It handles a thicker piece of toast or a bagel with no problem. We're very happy with it.

I believe it will. I have not tried it but I have put the wide texas toast in it and it does fine.

I toast bagels in it all the time with no problem if that helps! as far as the length, I have no experience with 'artisan breads'! sorry...

Big enough for bagels and slot is wider then standard bread size. So plenty big.

I haven't had that problem. It is 5 inches wide which is big enough for the size pan I use. The length doesn't seem to matter. I slice the bread with an electric knife about 1/4 inch thick and then push the bread through and continue until there are several slices, then bag those and continue. I love this product because I like thin bread, and I can make the slices any thickness I choose.

Unfortunately, this toaster dos not take bread that long. The slots measure about 5 1/2 inches. Which is only ideal for bread that measures 5" max

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!

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.

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

Hi, The slots are 1.5 inches wide and 5.5 inches long. We buy various whole grain breads such as Pepperidge Farm, Orowheat, etc. and they go in fine. If your slice is over 5.5 inches, it might be a tight fit. I agree with Lisa G., some breads you will have to trim a bit.

it can hold a piece of bread 5" inches long. We find that bagels are tight in it and often get stuck when trying to pop up. (slots are only about an inch wide) Still, it's fine toaster.

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!

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

Yes. The slots are just about 10". Tonight I toasted 2 slices of Arnold Country White bread (oversized) and 2 slices of Pepperidge Farm Very Thin Wheat bread at the same time. Both sets of breads toasted evenly even though they were of very different thicknesses and lengths. We really like our toaster.

My bread machine is a Breadman with a 5 1/2" wide pan. The loaves will not fit comfortably in this slicer, which measures 4 7/8" wide. While you can force the loaf into the slicer, the loaf may distort and yield uneven thickness slices. Still looking for the perfect guide!

The width is appropriate, and can handle bagels too. I use it for wider pieces of homemade bread as well. The entire unit is large, but I still like it! Works well in my kitchen.

Absolutely! We use Orowheat Bread and it is very long. It fits nicely, as do the Eggos and Toaster Strudel.

Exterior: depth 9", width 16", height 8.5"; Interior: depth 6", width 10.25", height 3"; Bread Slot: 1" thick, 10.25" width, 4" depth

I measured the slots length opening and it is exactly 5 1/2 inches long. The whole grain bread that we use fits fine and is a little over 5 inches long and standard width. We have toasted hot dog rolls and the length of the bun fits all the way down and toasts nicely. A slice of bread that measures 5 1/2 inches may be a little tight fit. But we love the toaster and would recommend it.
