A beautiful toaster that’s a pleasure to use. It enables you to produce perfect toast every time whether it is fresh, moist crusty bread, stale rolls or bagels you can watch what is happening and pop them when they’re done. Very expensive for what it is though, but it has a quality feel to it so you soon forget about how much you paid. There are cheaper versions on the market but they may not be as good.
This is my second magimix toaster having given my son the first. They are the best toasters you can buy they toast every bit of the bread evenly and been able to the see through the sides you can easily keep a check on the bread I would recommend this toaster even at the high price worth every penny.
A toaster that actually toasts, who would have thought. So I have had numerous toasters over the past years, none of which have actually worked as well as putting a slice of bread under a gas grill. That was until I got this toaster. It needed two of us to get it out of the box as it is quite heavy. This is not a bad thing, just unexpected as most toasters are very flimsy and light in weight. It toasts bread perfectly and even toasts the edges. I cut a doorstop slice of bread and it toasted it perfectly. It is a joy to behold and I love seeing it in my kitchen.
Finally, I have toast, just the way I want it, whenever I want it and no more guessing if it is ready yet.
I love my glass toaster. It’s never made a bad piece of toast since I bought it. Expensive but worth it.
Good looking toaster! Had a previous toaster that was see through but wasn’t as robust so worth the money!
Love this toaster, great to be able to see the toast go to the perfect colour.
perfect in every way from toasting large slices of bread, toasting sandwiches in toastie bags, defrosting bread to toast and very easy to clean with the slide out drawer. T
I really like my Vision toaster. It takes artisan and home made bread without any tailoring and I like to see how brown it is. I bought mine a few years ago and it is now out of warranty. Recently it stopped staying down. I was able to arrange for it to be repaired very quickly with DPD pickup and redelivery for 25 plus the cost of the required spare part – 3.25. I’m pretty impressed by this.
I wanted a toaster which I could monitor as it’s so difficult to regulate toasters and ensure that they cook a consistently every time. There are other glass door toasters but I know this brand and I liked that it had the unique quartz heating elements which meant that you get a perfectly clear view to the toast without seeing heating wires. I also liked the fact that the glass units are double glazed to help retain the heat within the toaster and also ensure that the outer pane of glass doesn’t get to hot to touch when in use.
The buttons and knobs feel sturdy, the overall build quality feels sturdy and the glass release button is well thought to allow you to clean the glass which doesn’t get dirty but is good to have just in case.
It is incredibly expensive for a toaster and the family don’t agree with the price but I do for something as unique as this is which is used on a daily basis and provides the convenience of a quick glance to check the toast level and is built to a high standard as this is.
If it lasts 20 years like my old Dualit I’d be very happy but I’d have to be a bit more realistic and hope it lasts more than 3 years which is when my Sage toaster died.
Wonderful product with super golden even toasting. An acceptable Price but would never buy at full retail.
I bought this toaster as a practical present for our 10 year old, and while I wait for my World’s Best Parent award to arrive in the post I thought I’d give it a try.
Being able to see the toast browning in the toaster without peering into the top tales all the guesswork out of getting perfect toast and the browning seems to be very even. The single slot form factor takes country loaves in a single slice as well as square loaves.
Aesthetically it looks fantastic too, replacing a Dualit toaster it doesn’t look any more out of place in our kitchen and the see-through sides makes the toaster look less bulky, if you have under cupboard lights this illuminates through the glass and provides more light on the worktop.
There’s no hiding this is a very expensive toaster, but if perfect toast every time is important to you then it’s worth the outlay, or makes a perfect indulgent gift for a 10 year old.
Had this toaster for a 6 years now and I can’t really fault it. Originally bought for its looks it has since proven to be a great toaster, used daily and easy to keep clean.
Searched for a while to find one with quartz/glass elements (had one years ago), took a while to commit to spending quite a lot on a toaster, but glad I did in the end: This toaster is fantastic 🙂
I like toast, so I’ve ended up using a lot of toasters from very cheap (8) to very expensive (150 Dualit!). And it has been pot luck as to whether it will be good or bad, and how long it stays good, or even if it will only effectively toast one side. The common theme? They all had a wire wrap element.
Most toasters (not this one!) use a wire wrap element, so they all have the same basic technology. The problem I’ve found is that this heats up unevenly if the wrapping is a bit off (touching the backing material), doesn’t conduct well, or simply gets used (heats and warps, gets a crumb behind the wire). Have a look inside and you can check how consistently the length of the wire glows.
They all had the same basic technology for the most important function (heating!), so the big price differences aren’t actually getting you anything different. And they all end up with variation in evenness of heating across units (how well the element is wrapped, conductivity) and over time (heats and warps, crumbs).
If you look at the reviews for lots of toasters (I like toast!), you’ll see this variation within each toaster with some people finding their unit toasts like Vulcan has intervened and others saying its more like Vulcan was a bit shy.
With this toaster and these elements, you get something actually different that heats really well, is super consistent and stays consistent. On top of that, the actual rising and cleaning mechanisms are great so it feels (and even sounds) good to use.
So you can spend 150 to get 8 technology and hope to goodness that your money is going on good quality control and materials rather than style and branding.
Or you can get this fabulous toaster which consistently gets you toast that Vulcan (and me!) loves 🙂
Will never go back to using a toaster where I can’t see the toast toast ! Love this toaster.
It’s a great toaster, it makes nice toast, it’s handy to be able to see the progress of your toast.
But it doesn’t feel like the Rolls Royce of toasters, at this price I sort of expected more.
This is our second Magimix toaster, the first gave up after two years. I’m happy with it, I wouldn’t swap it for a different toaster but the price is extreme.
My old toaster took as long as my kettle took to boil water, this one does it in half the time. Excellent stuff!
Great quality toaster. Sturdy yet attractive. Toasts bread pretty good too. Love the baguette option, great for burger buns.
Really nice bit of kit. It looks space-age but works great too. Good quality. Fun to watch too 🙂
We love this toaster – have two of them and it is so good to be able to see the toast – means you get a perfect piece of toast every time no matter what kind of bread you use.
Excellent even toasting when using the timer function. The ability to see the item toasting allows you achieve the perfect finish. Halogen heating bars rather than thermal wire should last longer and produce more consistent results. Very impressed!!!
Great toaster – and having the window means no more burnt toast!
Longing for this from the first time I saw it advertised on TV. Looks stylish in kitchen. Brought for a very good price. Well worth the wait.
This is a great toaster, well made and worth the extra cost no more excuse for burning the toast.
So far great, very useful being able to see the actual bread whilst toasting.
Unfortunately it came almost DoA since I unpacked it did as written in the manual for the first time usage. Put to max Power and pushed down the tray.
The LED was there for one second than the tray came up.
It was not possible any more to restart the browning process.
The return was easy but expensive for international DHL about 15.00.
The replacement device was delivered today (Wednesday) after 4 days after recalamation on Saturday.
Cross the fingers for the future of the new device.
Update:
2nd toaster is working fine so far.
I checked the surface temperature while first two burn-ins. Browning control set to 8.
Glas walls 80C
Aluminium sides 72C
Top 130C
Inside 260C
So, do not leave it working alone.
The toaster is well built, but is quite complex internally – complexity can lead to a shorter life than simpler products as there are more parts to fail.
The glass sides hinge open for cleaning, and there’s a safety microswitch for each one to force a pop-up when opened (although they don’t cut the power and can be defeated if you hold the toasting try down). I had one of these microswitches fail after about 18 months due to manufacturing fault. This is unlikely to be a common problem so I haven’t marked it down on this fault alone, but is an example of additional complexity increasing chances of a problem – that part doesn’t exist in most toasters. Fortunately I was able to repair the microswitch.
I found the toasting quality OK, but as others said, it probably won’t work for very fresh (i.e. recently home baked) bread because there isn’t going to be enough radiant power hitting the middle of the slice which is much more moist in very fresh bread.
what a beautiful, stylish toaster 🙂 I love having it in my kitchen, it makes good toast – what more can you ask ?
love this toaster, exactly as described, it’s even better in real life, easy to use, would recommend, quick delivery
very trendy and quick, but not the most even toas
Wanted one of these since I first saw it. It’s very well made and heavy with a good choice of colours available. Kept checking the price as it seems to go up and down from 108 to 132! I’m pleased with it as the toast is crispy, not soggy. However like my other toasters it still cooks it a bit too much at the top which I still cut off as I hate overdone/ burnt toast so that’s why not 5*’s.
Excellent for odd sized bread. Easy to raise short of height morsels.
Makes perfect toast – however last toaster had a motorised lid – turns out that that toaster makes toast that is less dry than from a usual unlidded toaster and I had got used to it and prefer that sort of toast, but it couldn’t handle larger slices and there was no way to raise out short height toast – so the Vision just about wins for me.
One star off for the strange reason that I don’t like usual toast so much as I used to.
Doesn’t toast perfectly evenly but at least you can see when it’s ready. I wish it was able to do more than two slices.
So viel Geld fr einen Toaster, den man von der Funktion her auch fr 10 bekommen knnte…
Na ja, Autos werden ja auch nicht nur nach Funktion sondern aus Status, Nostalgie, Komfort, Prollfaktor und was wei ich alles gekauft.
Funktion:
Das Toasten funktioniert prima. Bis jetzt habe ich mit diesem Toaster das gleichmigste Toastergebnis erhalten. Auerdem kann man durch die Sicht auf den Toast auch gut den Toastvorgang abbrechen, falls man nicht gleich die richtige Einstellung erwischt hat. Nur dicke Brtchen kann man nicht toasten, da der Toaster keinen Brtchenrost fr obendrauf hat. Aber dafr…
…Extrafaktor:
Jedes Mal wenn ich toaste, freue ich mich darber. Das rote Glimmen (vor allem wenn es etwas dunkler in der Kche ist), das die Brotscheiben und die Kche wie Abendrot beleuchtet… ich find es toll. Das Ding ersetzt bei mir quasi den Ethanolkamin… Fr mich hat sich der Kauf also gelohnt.
Das Metall oben wird schon recht hei, aber meine kleine Tochter (Kleinkind) fasst diesen Toaster brigens nicht an, da sie sogar sieht, dass es hei ist…
Also dann doch hier bestellt: der Toaster kommt gut verpackt in einem groen Paket an und er ist auch ausgepackt sehr gro. Ausreichend Platz sollte also vorhanden sein. Der Toaster ist sehr sauber verarbeitet, da ist alles passgenau, nichts hakelt oder klemmt wie oft bei billigeren Gerten. Die Seitenteile bei diesem Magimix sind brigens nicht aus Edelstahl wie die Beschreibung vielleicht vermuten lsst, sondern aus poliertem Aluminiumguss. Die Bedienung ist denkbar einfach: Drehregler fr den gewnschten Brunungsgrad, 4 Tasten fr die verschiedenen Modi und der Toaster bliche Bedienhebel. Die Wrme erzeugen 4 Infrarotheizstbe, die beim Toasten den Raum hinter der Glasscheibe angenehm ausleuchten. Es ist auch alles gut isoliert, so dass weder die Glasscheiben, noch die Aluminiumteile richtig hei werden. Wir toasten meist aufgeschnittene Brtchen (1 Brtchen = 3 Scheiben) was in einem Zug funktioniert. Die Brunung ist allerdings nicht ganz gleichmig (oben und unten etwas strker wegen der Anordnung der Heizstbe), was uns aber nicht weiter strt.
Zur Reinigung lassen sich die Glasscheiben abklappen und eine Krmelschublade ist ebenfalls vorhanden.
Der Magimix Toaster lst bei uns einen Grundig Toaster ab. Dieser hat nach einer verklemmten Brtchenhlfte den Dienst quittiert. Da erscheint mir die Mechanik in dem Magimix etwas solider ausgefhrt zu sein. Fazit: wer einen soliden Toaster sucht, der auch noch sehr gut aussieht kann hier bedenkenlos zuschlagen 😉
I saw one of these in my sister’s kitchen and instantly was struck with toaster envy. When my toaster broke, I had to replace it with this. Little did I know that it was five times as expensive as any other toaster. However, I love it.
Two notes. It is rather large so measure up first. The other reviewer that said it can burn the top of the toast is correct, but it’s pretty minor to me for the pleasure of such a unique device.
Arrived on time it exceeded my expectations I went for the used item only to find it had a dent in the box ,great value looks great in my kitche
This is a very larger toaster for a single slot, it’s also deep & suitably heavy due to its bomb-proof construction. Basic toasting involves inserting the bread, turning the dial to the required time (marked between 1 & 8 in half clicks) then pushing down the lever on the right hand side. The “Standard setting” button edge lights up light blue until the toast pops up with a decisive & loud clack.
The other buttons are “Bagal” for single-sided toasting which I use for crumpets. You can toast both sides as normal then press this button at any point that will switch off the two rear elements. The final buttons are for a 30″ reheat & “Defrost” neither of which I use.
Although a good toaster, it’s not very fast compared to my Tefal. This does effect how toast tastes – the longer it takes, the drier (or crispier) the toast.
There’s a full-length crumb tray that clicks into place & due to the double-glazed windows, you can see the accumulation. The lever can be raised to extract smaller items. The slot is pretty wide so you can toast a variety of buns. The two windows hinge out for cleaning. Overall, a novel & well-made toaster. How long it lasts after it’s 3yr guarantee (collect) remains to be seen.
10 months on..
Still works fine. A couple of observations:
1. Raising the bar to remove toast does not help much – I use a pair of wooden tongs!
2. The bread is poorly supported. When you push the lever down to start toasting, the top of the rack closes onto the slice but the bottom doesn’t, meaning the bread can curl so toast unevenly.
Although flawed & the novelty of seeing the bread toasting wears off a little, this remains a fine & well-made toaster.
This Magimix toaster is of excellent quality, Amazon.co.uk provided a smooth and quick delivery to Australia,and excellent after sale service, highly recommended. (four star)
However, WARNING Magimix UK does not provide any Guarantee if product taken outside the UK, and neither does Magimix AU accepts coverage for product purchased outside the AU, this has grossly disappointed me, infect feel deceived as no warning is display, notwithstanding, that most descriptions of the product highlights a “3 years Guarantee” as a major feature.
Regrettably only two stars for Magimix.com
absolutely love it. Very good value for money. Brightens up the kitchen and the toast is reliable time after time.
Basically, if you are a bit middle-class and don’t eat a lot of toast – this is for you.
Would certainly recommend.
I had thought of investing in a Dualit as I loved the rugged construction and “polished industrial” heavy duty look, but on examining their range more closely it looked a bit too commercial and industrial which would have been fine if mine was a commercial catering kitchen, which it isn’t.
In a review online my eye had been caught by this new Magimix toaster which had been developed after “fifteen years of research”. I looked it over in John Lewis and was amazed to find it had all the build qualities and more of the Dualit range – cast alloy ends, heavy duty double glazed windows both sides which rotated outward for cleaning and an easy slide out crumb tray.
Other neat features apart from the see through toaster bit was the one-sided toasting for baguette halves.
Once I bought it though, the knock out effect of the four electric bars (bit like gran’s old electric fires) is that – you guessed it- it produces toast just like on my sister’s Aga – really crisp and crunchy whilst keeping a soft inside.
I have had one now for 3 months and still love it. Easy to clean, very smart and you can pop the toast out at any stage when you can see how brown it is
Love it – get one … you won’t regret it!
Love it! Taken price of place on my side!! Defrost function is Brilliant. The only bad thing i can think of really is when you try and cook the end of loaf (crust) it can sometimes burn the really thin top edge, though if you simply put it in sideways rather than upright then its fine!!
Personally i think it is and looks Brilliant!
After sales is also superior for a toaster, three years! WOW
