Does it fit bagels and thick bread?

Yes. The slots are 36 mm wide and the self-centering racks hold thick slices and bagel halves upright.

What do the three preset buttons do?

They run defrost, reheat and bagel cycles at the browning level you set on the dial.

How many slices can it toast at once?

Two, one per slot. There is no four-slice version in this model line.

The crumb tray slides out for emptying. The body is hand wash only, so wipe it rather than submerging it.

Does it work in the US?

Check the voltage. This model is rated 220-240 V at 50/60 Hz, so it needs a compatible outlet or a step-up converter in the US.

How does it compare with a plain two-slice toaster?

It toasts comparably but costs more for the design, wider slots and presets. A basic toaster is smaller and cheaper but plainer.
