Ethically good, but so very noisy in use. I use my washing machine on cheap rate electricity at night, but the Magno ball sounds like a tap dancing elephant, so in a small house like mine, will wake nearby sleepers or prevent sleep. Unless I have a short wash that will operate between 7.00 and 8am when cheap rate finishes, I have to use a quieter method of washing. Even if I bury the ball in the middle of the clothes, it still works free and bangs around. I hope they find a softer container in the not too distant future!

It seems sturdy. I'm using it with the Eco Balls. It's impossible to tell whether it's working, but I've had no problems at all and it's quieter than I'd expected. I'm glad I've got it-our washing machine is rented so it's especially important to avoid limescale build-up. I don't want to keep buying anti-limescale tablets and they couldn't be used with the ecoballs anyway. I've also read that the ecoballs don't work as well in hard water so it's good to have this to help them work as well aspossible.

The Magnoball is definately a necessity with the ecoballs for use in hard water areas - makes the world of difference - I've found my washing machine is much more economical since using this. I would highly recommend it.rn

I bought it on an 'eco' whim but its surprisingly effective, even in the hardwater hell on London - works well in both the dishwasher and washing machine

GraceQuirrel asked this question on 26th Apr 2010
Q: How heavy is the magno ball? I've read that water softener balls like this can dent the washing machine, is this possible/likely?
A: Hi, the magno ball weighs only 175g and feels a bit like rubber, so during washing machine spins, the magno ball shouldn't dent the edges of the drum, but bounce off them safely. I hope this helps. Robyn.

Q: A strange question perhaps, but can the Magno Ball be used in the bath to soften washing water?
A: We contacted the manufacturer for advice about this. As the magnoball was not designed for this type of use it's never been tested in such a situation. However as it is designed for use in an environment where water is constantly moving (i.e. washing machines and dishwashers) it is likely it won't be as effective in a bathtub situation.
