Magimix Vision Glass Sided Toaster - Hands On
Friday, January 15, 2010 at 1:49PM 
I got to have a good look at the Magimix Vision clear glass sided Toaster today in Kendals (House of Fraser) in Manchester.
Previously I’d only seen renders in a nice video.
In person (?) it’s a nice machine and I was glad to see that the glass sides fold down for easy cleaning of the interior. Obviously I didn’t get to test it – Kendals staff might have objected if I’d pulled a couple of slices of bread out of my pocket. Instead they left me alone long enough for me to take a few pictures with my iPhone shown below.
Now the sticker shock – for those who don’t know Magimix, they are a prestige kitchen equipment manufacturer and already sell a number of Toasters costing £100 plus. Since the Vision is the new top model in their range, the price reflects this and it’s £160. Yes that’s £160 just to make toast, strangely enough I’m still tempted to buy one.
I have a bit of a history with novelty toasters – my current model is an old youtube hit with over 100,000 views of my video entitled “My Incredibly Cool Toaster”.

The Magimix model might not be as interesting to watch as that one, but it would ensure I burnt my toast less frequently.

What a great site!
I was searching the next for the glass sided toaster I saw today in the window of Selfridges and stumbled over your site - great stuff and all done with a sense of humour. Smashing!
Thanks Sue - its comments like yours that make it all worthwhile.
Wow love your existing toaster! I fully understand wanting to get the Vision toaster despite the price tag. Form AND function over just function is always a draw. And besides first thing in the morning one doesn't really want to deal with burnt toast over and over again before having ones morning coffee!
