Bought this hose from a retailer. Seemed like a great concept, but in practice it was harder to reel in than I had hoped; and after a few days the thing burst -- big 2-inch hole in the side. Don't waste your money.

This hose is not very durable I only used it a few times and it busted and I can't find any place to get a connector to fix it.

I brought this hose after a girlfriend suggested it, if you only need a small amount of hose I suppose it might work fine. I brought the 75 foot length,and ultimately need to unwind the hose completely. Poor water pressure and trying to wind this hose back up is a workout, what a joke, wish I had read these reviews before I wasted my money.

Magna advertises this product as virtually indestructible. I wish, too, that we had seen the reviews before buying it. On the first use, the hose sprung a leak.

Is there a way to get our money back? I can't find any sign of Magna online... except to sell this indestructible hose.

While the idea of the Magnahose sems quite good, in reality the product is just about useless. Poor craftmanship is the first indication of the overall terrible quality of this hose...it is of a flimsy and cheap construction. The design of the hose also gives you next to no pressure at the nozzle. My magnahose can only send a jet of water about eight feet while another hose on the same tap can shho well over twenty. Don't waste your time or money on this terrible product. Melnor should be ashamed.

I used it to fill up a child's pool from an in-house spigot with warm water and the hose burst at the water source connector and flooded my kitchen. It is [inexpensive] plastic that won't hold up to UV rays, heat or more than a half season of use. But, the company will make their fortune quickly and be gone. There is no address, 800 number or contact info on the instruction sheet - what does that tell you??

Well, this is a great idea. A hose that winds up and allows you to use only the length you need. But it really isn't that easy to wind up. Also, I had two which split due to (I suppose) pressure and heat from the sun. The best hose to get in my opinion is still a rubber hose.

It sprung a leak immediately at the end of hose. I repaired it. Next time it sprung a leak in the middle. A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!

If you have "light duty" watering tasks, then the Magna Hose is a great find. (Particularly for the elderly or those stricken with arthritis.) However, I did notice a significant loss of water pressure when using the 75' version as compared to my old fashion heavy duty hose. Also, the stand doesn't "stand" when placed on any slightly uneven surface (such as the lawn). Personally, I need the length to be 100', but hooking up an "add-on" piece would defeat the mobility bonus and likely decrease the water-pressure even further. I may keep it around and trade-off between my heavy duty hose, as the benefits of the Magna Hose seem to slightly outweigh the negatives, but unfortunately I'll still need the alternate solution.

Looks like a good idea but it burst on the first use. It is made out of the same stuff that beach balls are. Also its not uv resistant so you can't leave it outside in the sun. All of these roll up hoses are a waste, buy a good quality full size hose and it will last for years.
