Our old toaster forced us to cut artisan style loaf slices in half to fit. Not this toaster! We thought we might end up sacrificing the ability for two people to have regular slices toasting at the same time but we needn't have worried. The slots manage that just fine. Slimmer profile is nice, even if it is a bit longer. Even toasting is also a nice benefit. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
