Ok I guess now is the time and place to complain to whomever cares about toaster design. Why is it that the metal grid that holds the bread has its bars so wide apart ? I don't toast only industrial square bread, I happen to regularly toast good state of the art european bakery bread that have very different slice sizes. It is maddenig to have your slice slip trhough the metal bars and prevent the toaster from going up or having to go fishing for your slice with whatever tool you think fit for the job, in 2021. Is my use case that specific ? I have been looking for a toaster with a tight grid bread holder but could not find one so far. Please help.
- myself248 5y agoSame problem! I bake a lot of my own bread and often end up with odd-shaped lumps of loaf-ends which fall between the wires. Also I wish I could get a narrow-slot toaster. I never toast bagels, and I feel like a the ubiquitous wide-slot designs waste energy and take longer because there's so much unnecessary room for air to convection-cool the bread.

- myself248 5y agoLiterally all of the pop-up style toasters there are wide-slot types. And the conveyor style are clearly out of the question since my stated goal is to use less energy. I'm not sure I understand your suggestion.
