Does the bagel button actually toast just 1 side of the bagel? Is there a picture on the toaster/instructions saying which way the bagel should face?

This toaster will toast one side of the bagel but to my knowledge this is not indicated on the toaster itself. I cannot check this info as I bought the toaster for my son in Atlanta and I am now on my way home to Wells, England, It,s going to be cold but so nice to be home. The toaster worked great whilst we stayed with our son and he,s delighted because it works and it was free!.

Nevernoticed if it toasted one side or the other, but it does have small signs to show to put the bagels facing in.

It toasts both sides but works well. There is a picture showing how to place the bagel into the slots and it's the same as you see in this photo.

Yes it toasts just the inside of the bagel or hamburger bun place cut sides facing each other. Put bagel in toaster push down handle then push the bagel button. They come out perfect.

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!

It does toast evenly on both sides. Both my Mom and I just love this toaster!

No, it doesn't. But I find now that the toaster only toasts one side of the bread in each slot, and you have to pop the bread up and turn it to toast both sides. So, my advice? Don't buy this piece of junk.

The sides stay cooler because of the extra width, as far as the top it will get hot. We really like the bagel feature which allows toasting on one side while the crust side remains untoasted. I would buy it again, very happy.

It toasts on both sides. It is a very nice sturdy toaster, not a toy type thing. I recommend it.

The bread toasts properly, both sides. Honestly, I've given up bagels (reluctantly) and haven't used this function.

Yes, the slots are very wide and the way it's angled helps with removal. I've noticed it toasts a little darker toward the back but that was only when I toasted a toaster streudal that had to go through the toasting twice. I found that if I switched it after the first toast, it was fine. Hope this helps!

Nope. But like every other modern toaster, it does have other issues. Biggest design flaw - to pop the toast early, you have to turn the "darkness" knob all the way to the left. If the toast isn't done yet, it's hard to return to your original setting as the knob has no markings! I've also tried several over the past few years, and nothing - - reviews notwithstanding - - seems to work very well these days.

I am not sure what the BAGEL function does. It does NOT toast on one side, only. You still need to turn the "doneness" setting down when you toast a bagel because the bigger bagel toasts quicker. I tried toasting a bagel on the toast setting with the BAGEL function on and it burned up on both sides!

I haven't toasted any bagels in ours yet. But, yes, the toaster toasts bread properly and evenly.

I have forwarded your question to my daughter-in-law for whom I bought this toaster for Christmas. However, just to let you know, one side has already broken (lever won't stay down--have to hold it down). Disappointing since the one side quit working just a month after Christmas.

The back of the toaster is not flat. There is a "bump out" so you can put a round pizza inside. The width of the toaster at the sides is narrower than the width at the middle.

Thick bagels are no problem. The really, really thick ones need a SLIGHT compression before inserting, but they expanded while cooking and popped right up perfectly. And, even better, the toaster has a bagel setting that actually works-- One sided toasting of bagels is possible on this planet!

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

I have the two slice one, when you press lets say bagel, the bagel button will come on. Must be a defect I am sure when you press toast there should be a blue light that tells you what you are toasting..as in reheat the blue light comes on. Guess you will have to send it back..
