Quick verdict
The single long slot is the practical idea here - bagels and baguettes fit without being squeezed or cut in half - and the narrow body frees counter space. Be aware of two things: it toasts two slices at a time, and at 4.2 stars it carries the weakest rating on this site.
A slim two-slice toaster just 3.58 inches deep, with a single extra-wide 10-inch slot that takes two slices side by side or a baguette, six shade settings and a cancel button.
Small kitchens and anyone who toasts bagels, baguettes or long artisan loaves.
Families toasting four or more slices at breakfast - buy a four-slot model. Also skip it if you want a toaster with a separate defrost or reheat control.

The fix for leftovers that taste of yesterday's curry - glass takes no stain and no odor, and the lids actually seal. It is glass, so it is heavy and it can break, and the lids are not oven-safe; these are lunch-and-fridge containers, not baking dishes.

Comfortable and forgiving for everyday home cooking, but not the knife for people who want a razor-thin Japanese edge or a heavy statement piece.
