Is a 2-slice toaster enough for a household of two?

For most couples: yes. Two slices per cycle accommodates both people in one toast (standard meals) or allows sequential toasting without a long wait. The exception: weekend brunch where both people want toast, eggs, and avocado simultaneously, the 2-slice toaster requires one person to wait 1 to 2 minutes for the second batch while the first person's toast cools. For weekday mornings where the cycle time does not matter: 2-slice is adequate. For weekend brunch for two that must all be ready simultaneously: a 4-slice toaster or a 2-slice with a parallel toaster is more practical.

What is the longest slot size in a 2-slice toaster?

Long-slot 2-slice toasters (KitchenAid KMT2116, Smeg long-slot) accommodate toast that is up to 12 inches long, allowing toasting of baguette slices and longer sandwich loaf slices that would not fit horizontally in standard 7-inch slots. Standard slots: approximately 7 inches long, accommodating standard sandwich bread and most artisan loaves. For standard bread use: standard slot length is adequate. For sourdough boules or baguette pieces: a long-slot 2-slice is the solution.
