In brushed stainless steel and glass, this toaster looks great and also allows you to see how your toast is doing. No more peering in at the top to see how brown your slices are!

It's a two slice toaster with an extra wide and deep, long slot, suitable for all breads and buns and also bagel browning (one sided). It has a variable browning timer control and the double insulated, toughened glass windows open for easy access. The crumb tray is full length and there is an extra high lift lever.

Dimensions (in cm): 22.5h x 39.5w x 18d

The robust quality is what you might expect from Magimix ... and this toaster has a free three year guarantee too.
