will this toast the longer bread 5 1/2"

Hi. It may but the full width is 5 1/4 and the thickness is 1 1/4. So far it's been a really good toaster, just make sure (as with any appliance) to check your timing settings to make sure you get the results you want. Best regards. Rick

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.

I just measured the opening and it's only 5 inches long, so I would say no, but I've never tried.

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.

no...but you can take a look at well your toast is doing and continue on. I use a fork with plastic end when my toast is finished for short toast.

A little wide maybe but not long. This toaster will handle breads of about 5 by 1-1/8 inches

yes it will toast english muffins , regular bread comes out good, adjust time to 4 minutes.

yes, but this toaster will take twice as long to toast, not a good toaster in my opinion.

Nope! This is an excellent toaster that automatically adjusts to the size of the bread or English muffin!

The slot openings have a small ledge inside at both ends. The distance between the ledges is about 5 3/4 inches. Since we sometimes make toast using long slices of rye bread and such, we usually put the slices in long side up for toasting. Otherwise bagels, regular bread slices, English muffins, etc fit the slots and turn out scrumptious. Hope this helps.

The size of the slot is right about 5.5 inches long, so if your bread slice is longer than that it won't fit. In response to the other people who answered, each slot is about 3/4 of an inch wide. I haven't had any trouble toasting bagels in it, but I would imagine larger ones might get stuck. HOWEVER, when that happens, there is absolutely no reason to use a knife, the little handle can be raised up quite a bit higher in order to lift the toast out (that's one of the reasons I bought this toaster. No danger with using short bread). And yeah, I agree it has spring strong enough to launch toast out onto the counter.

Whatever the answer, the slots are certainly not long enough to toast a whole slice of rye bread, however being an engineer and designer, I discovered that when I cut the slice in half (I eat rye bread every day) it fits very nicely, and tastes deliciously.I hope this helps you. Peter

I always cut one piece of bread in half and toast it, but I did measure with a ruler a 6" piece of bread and about 1" sticks out which will not toast.

First, I love this toaster it works great. It takes fat bread like bagels, fine. If you mean long bread, the slots and depth are pretty standard and would not be long or deep enough.

I bought this as a gift to my mother so I don't have it here in order to actually measure the slots (sorry). I do know that she toasts regular sized bread and bagels without a problem. I looked at it prior to wrapping it for her and I seriously doubt it would be able to handle the longer deli type slices. Sorry I couldn't be more specific and I hope this helps.

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!

I didn't know that artisan breads need to be run twice through. For the economical price it toasts very well. Sometimes it appears to take a while. But if the bread is long, you will have to cut part of it off and shorten it for it to fit. There are toasters that accommodate longer bread. Cuisanart is the most preferred toaster out there if you can afford it.

I hope that I won't have the answer to that question for at least a decade. Still working great for me, but if it only lasted five years I would still buy another one because it toasts evenly and consistently. I should mention that I have the two-slice model.

I'm thinking that you might be asking about bread, like sourdough, where each slice is pretty wide? If so, Nope. I need to cut the bread in half and toast 2 pieces...sorry
