There's a lot to like about the Sony ZV1 vlogging camera, but there are three things about this camera that really bug me.Two of them are quite well known, but there is one that no one ever mentions. Had I have known, this is how the camera performs under certain conditions, I would NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT.

New Barbecue Channel Newsflash Introducing the Barbecue Walk of Flame
So when you say one of your only regrets is not getting the larger machine, are you talking about the 4200, or the big boy 5200? Thank you for all your hard work here!
Hi there, quite some time has passed since I did the one year review, for most of the time the machine is adequate for just the two of us, however when we do batch cooking and freezing a larger model would be useful. At the time of purchase the price of the machine was an important factor and the 4200 would the one I was referring to, Now a few years on if I could justify the cost I'd go for the 5200. Owing to the lack of work surface space my Magimix has to be stored in a cupboard, and they are very heavy machines to get out and stow away. Many thanks for your comment and for watching my video.
@@WillyFilmit thank you so much, Sir, for your thorough and thoughtful response…. Most appreciated !
Bought a set of these, overall unimpressed. Treated them with utmost care, but they still scratched, coating began to flake off. I got one pan replaced, but when the same thing started happening, I packed them all up and donated to Good Will. Very disappointing, usually Ninja products are great, but not this time. Going back to cast iron pans.
Hi there, many thanks for your comment, my Ninja pan is still ok, I agree you do have to treat them with much care, no metal utensils, never goes in the dishwasher, and do not use spray oil. It is always nice to hear viewers experiences, once again thanks for your comment and for watching my video.
Clear explanation, great work, thanks.
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching.
Thank you from Vancouver
Our pleasure! many thanks for your comment and watching my video.
Lovely review, thanks a lot!

How hot is the water? Can I make tea with this machine?
Hi Sarah, I've never made tea with the Brera, even though it dispenses hot water for hot drinks. In my book tea is made with boiling water, it does not dispense boiling water. Many thanks for your comment and watching my videos.
Bought one without seeing your review. I totally agree with you. Have just ordered a second. How has yours held up?
Hi there, glad you liked my review, the chair is still as comfy as ever I could do with a bit more sunshine to enjoy and chill in it.
thank you good analysis!, i am using this model to make another one with similar characteristics on sheet metal!
Sounds great good luck with the project
This was such a great, informative review! Learned so much more than expected and it was presented in such an engaging way. Thank you!
Hi Steven, thank you for your comment glad you liked my video.
Thank you so much ch for the concise clear instructions❤️
Hi Kathy, glad you liked my video, many thanks for your comment.
Awsome I just bought one and can’t wait to use it. Cheers!
Hope you enjoy it! My machine is still making great coffee.
Does it make any humming or clicking noise while plugged in ??
Hi there, they are completely silent, I've not heard any sound from them at all, many thanks for your comment I really do appreciate it.
@@WillyFilmit Thank you for replying, have a good day sir.
We bought two today on your excellent review.
Just sit back, relax, and enjoy them.
Very good review, thank you
Hi Timothy, many thanks for your comment I really do appreciate it, thanks for watching.
Good review, are the Salt mills the same as Pepper?
Hi David, many thanks for your comment, the salt mill has a different mechanism to the pepper mill, the one I have will only grind rock salt, I think Peugeot do make one for sea salt. I hope this information is useful, thanks for watching my video.
After watching this, I really want one. Amazing review.
Hi there, many thanks for your comment I really do appreciate it.
Thank you for the review
Thank you for your comment, I really do appreciate it.
Got one, not impressed!
Stick with it, a small amount of oil in a pre heated pan makes it very workable. Many thanks for your comment.
Great video, thank you 😊
Hi Alastair, thank you for your comment I really do appreciate it, the Brera is a great little machine.
Excellent video. Every time I go to descale my machine has been complicated for me, but in this video you explain it in a simple and easy to understand way, very grateful.
Hi Eudio, many thanks for your comment glad you found my video useful, the first time I had to descale the machine I got into difficulty, fortunately Gaggia UK are very helpful they talked me through the process. Excellent machine, enjoy the coffee. Cheers.
Can it be use for dry food
Hi there, I have used my Magimix to chop nuts, fresh herbs, and raw mushrooms, all of which it did very well, I have also ground coffee beans, providing you don't want a very fine grind for espresso, it did an ok job. I do hope this answers your question, many thanks for your comment and watching my video.
Thank you for the video. Saludos desde Argentina!
Thank you for your comment I really do appreciate it, glad you found my video useful. Cheers from the UK.
Thank you I have had this machine for 3 months and have tried several times, unsuccessfully, to descale my machine and the decade solution is a bit spendy! The instructions are also difficult to follow my husband was unsuccessful as well! Your vedio was very helpful!
Hi Lori, glad the vid was helpful, the instructions are not too clear, things to remember the tank must be full to max de-scaler and water, and the machine must be in standby when the two brew buttons are pressed. Many thanks for your comment its so nice to hear from my viewers.
No oil cooking isnt healthy. Butter everything FYI
G day, thanks for your comment, oil bear it in mind and butter up.
Fantastic video mate
Thanks for your comment it's much appreciated.
As always a very useful product review. Willy ,thank you.
Hi Kevin, many thanks for your comment, its interesting to see the design has improved and the price has come down, win win.
Good vid, thnx Willy!!

Great job Willy. Clear instructions and your personality shines through
Many thanks for your comment, I really do appreciate it.
Frankencent is a fantastic name for a bicycle 😁 thanks for the review
Thank you for your comment I really do appreciate it.
Just picked on up after years of frustration with cheaply made ones. The Ferrari of pepper mills, runs as smooth as a Swiss watch.
Hi Blaine, you got it, absolutely, thank you for your comment I really do appreciate it.
not seen video yet, but I give you like, just for the idea og making this video.
Hi Marco, thanks for your comment even though you haven't seen the video, I can tell you its my honest opinion of how this machine has performed over many years and continues to do so, the video is well worth a watch, even if I do say so myself.
@@WillyFilmit of course I've watched After! It was very useful, knowing that the machine I probably get, may last up or more than 6 hears is a big win.
@@WillyFilmit at least I get it! great machine
@@marcomoraschi3537 Enjoy great coffee.
Built like a tank.
Hi there, many thanks for watching my video, your comment is spot on I couldn't agree with you more.
Thank you, Willy, for a super informative review! Especially for the demo of the noise level and the kind of motor in this machine. I have a couple of questions, is it possible to make a smoothie from a carrot and celery? Can it substitute a blender to make smoothies from vegetables, such as carrots and celery, for example?
Hi Julie, thank you for your comment, to be honest I've never made a smoothie, they're just not my thing. I do use the Magimix to make soup, however the veg are usually cooked and once blended there is some texture, it would have to go through a fine sieve to get it really smooth, same with iced coffee which I make in the summer, it turns the ice cubes into a thick mush and the drink is just the same as a high street coffee shop. Once again thanks for watching my video.
3y later how are you happy with the magimix? I am planing to buy one. Love the review
Hi there, thank you for your comment it's much appreciated. I'm still pleased with my Magimix it continues to perform well. If it could live on the worktop it would be used much more, however our kitchen is quite small and it has to be stored in a cupboard, there are times when it is quicker to get a knife from the drawer than it is to get the Magimix out and set it up just to slice two carrots, which it would do in seconds. It is a versatile, well made machine, which I do not regret purchasing, I hope this answers your question, thanks for watching my video.
@@WillyFilmit Yes, thank you so much.
I use my dishwasher.otherwise I wouldn’t use it. I would like to see your bread recipe as I found the free cook book not well tested. I
Hi there Irene, many thanks for your comment I do appreciate it, regarding the cook book I have to agree, some things have turned out well, and others not so well. When it comes to dough, I've made pizza to test a Jamie Oliver kit, and my favourite is Focaccia Bread, there is a video on my BBQ channel, czcams.com/video/jzGYKxNmwGs/video.html this was filmed before I had the Magimix when I was using a very old Kenwood mixer. I have since made it with the Magimix and it comes out equally as good. Once again thanks for the comment.
I would not recommend this machine. I had the older generation of this and it operated flawlessly. Gaggia needs to update the firmware on the grinder sensor as this is a know problem. There are magnets and a sensor located in the grinder which monitors the RPM’s. When you run out of beans, you hear the grinder speed up and get the warning to fill the beans, if it slow down ever so slightly, it will reject the coffee puck and will not brew. I done everything that they recommend including recalibrated the grinder, cleaning it, changing grind settings, having the coffee maker relearn the algorithm by brewing over 25 cups of coffee, using the recommended beans, and the problem still exist in which 30% of the time it will reject the coffee grinds which is wasteful. The solutions provided by the coffee shop that I bought it from and the manufacturer are not fixing the issues. I have three other friends with the same maker after I recommended it (when I owned the previous generation) experiencing the same issues. Thanks for the review
Hi William, thank you for your very interesting comment, I'm amazed that my machine is still making a great cup of coffee after all these years, however I have noticed recently that the dump box full light is coming on when there's only two pucks in there. Maybe its time to start thinking about a replacement, however whilst it's still working I'll just keep thinking. Once again many thanks for your comment, it's nice to know of the experiences of others with the same machine. Cheers.
I wish you luck. I do miss my older model, I was unaware of the issues with the newer model. When it works it does make a good cup of coffee. My old machine lasted many years as I replaced all the gaskets and brew group without any issues. The rejected puck still happens but I can usually tell by listening to the gringer. It didn’t matter what coffee beans I used or was recommended. Thanks for your response and best to you
Why does he call it a homer? Ita a forge hammer
Hi Nigel, he calls it a forge omma because he's speaking in his native Black Country dialect, in this area many words are pronounced differently, its all part of a rich heritage which many of us are proud to retain. If you would like to know more this website gives a good explanation dialectandheritage.org.uk. You may not be aware that the word you, is pronounced yo in the Black Country, so you have viewed my video on YoTube, and one of the devices used is an Opple. Many thanks for your excellent comment.
❤thank you for your great Review
Hi Esin, many thanks for your comment it is much appreciated, glad you enjoyed the video.
literally just throw away the stupid metal thing on top of the frother. Look it up, it's real. youll get amazing milk
Hi Ryan, the Panerello, without it a great Flat White, and with long life semi skimmed milk even creamier.
what a thorough review! thank you Willy <3 keep them coming!
Hi Dovydas, thank you for your comment it is much appreciated.
I ‘ve had my for maybe 4 years and never got the hang of the frother. Your cappuccino looked so good that I’ll have a go!
Hi there, thank you for your comment its much appreciated, on average I make six cappuccinos per day, so I've had a bit of practice, you know what they say practice makes perfect, also the milk helps, long life semi skimmed froths better than ordinary semi skimmed, and then there's whole milk, different again.
What were the chains used for
Hi Lesley, many thanks for your comment, I believe chain made at the Back Country Living Museum is for demonstration only, back in the day when 90% of the UK chain was made in the area, it would be used for agriculture, shipping, and any other heavy lifting or pulling task.
my ancestors were chain makers at the mushroom green from 1861
Adew Julia, yo know that's wen the Black Country wuz really black. Thanks for your comment and watching my video on YoTube.
It ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it , that’s what gets results.
Hi there, thanks for your comment.
Excellent review looking to buy this in Nov 2023 compared to the most expensive Gaggia bean to cup machines
Hi there, many thanks for your comment, it is a great little machine, when you get yours don't forget it has to be cleaned and descaled frequently. See my cleaning and descaling video on this channel.
Thank you, Willy, for your excellent explanation. Truly helpful! Did you ever use the de-scaling programme without the de-scaling symbol showing before? I tried it with my machine and it seems like it doesn't work. Happy to hear from your experience.
Hi Monja, many thanks for your comment I do appreciate it, I haven't de-scaled my machine without the warning light being on, according to the instructions I should de-scale more frequently as I live in a hard water area, however without the light I just can't remember.
Hi Willy, thank you for this nice and helpful video! I think the Magimix also has a dicing disc. Have you tried that? How does the dicing perform with hard veggies like carrots, sweet potatoes? Thank you!
Hi Peter, thank you for your comment I do appreciate it. In answer to your question I don't have a dicing disc, and I can't see one on their accessory list for my model, it looks like they don't do one. Cheers.
Thank you. Very informative and helpful.
Hi Teddie, thank you for your comment, it is much appreciated.
My kitchen is a quarter of that size and I still fit a Vitamix, KitchenAid and the bigger Magimix on the counter. It's fine as long as you can reach everything and have space left for a big cutting board.
Hi Philip, many thanks for your comment I really do appreciate it, and thanks for sharing your kitchen info.
