Best for Anyone who wants to watch the bread rather than guess at it
Watch out for The upper half of the dial runs hot, so the middle setting is not the middle of the range

Two things separate this from everything else recorded here. The walls are glass, so you can see the colour developing instead of inferring it from a number on a dial, and a stop button lets you end the cycle at the shade you are looking at. That combination removes the single most common way toast gets ruined, which is putting it back in for a little more and overshooting.
The slot is 10.25 inches long and just under 7 inches deep, which is the deepest measurement in this dataset by some way. Width was not published, so we do not carry a figure for it. Depth of nearly seven inches means a tall slice off a boule goes all the way in rather than standing proud at the top with a pale strip across it.
The heating element is quartz rather than resistance wire. Quartz comes up to temperature and drops back faster, which is part of why the measured time to medium toast is 1 min 25 sec, the quickest here.
The reservation, and it is a real one: the settings past the midpoint of the dial run hotter than the numbering suggests. Treat the first cycle on any new loaf as calibration rather than expecting the marked shade.
What this slot takes
Judged on length alone, against the slot figure on record. Width and depth decide whether a thick or tall slice clears, and where those are blank we cannot answer for them.
- Sandwich slice4.5″ Fits A standard supermarket slice, laid flat.
- Two slices, side by side9.5″ Fits The reason the shape exists. Needs about 10 inches with room to load.
- Bagel half4.5″ Fits Length is easy. Bagels fail on width, not length.
- Sourdough round slice8″ Fits A slice off a large boule, cut across the widest point.
- Bakery batard slice10.5″ Too short The slice that defeats almost everything on the market.
