It works the first day, but once you use it the material streches and cant hold firmly to snap the magnets back. I have to manually pull them together. Also, critters do get inside from the bottom. I got a nasty salamander in my kitchen yesterday. Other, flying insects do get in from small gaps but definatly less with out the magic mesh. Overall, not worth it for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mesh screen has definitely been a game changer in our household. We now can have the door open without worrying that bugs/insects will fly in and intrude our living space. Another plus is this mesh screen allows for our cat to walk in and out to the patio without having to keep opening the door for her, she’s become independent because she can easily walk through the screen as the magnets pull apart and come back together once she has passes. This is the second screen we’ve bought and will continue to purchase them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the idea that the magic mesh screen represents. It is good for a temp fix but not long term. I used this and while it is good for me it doesn’t keep my grand children or pets from getting out. Having said that, if you live alone or with adults only then this would be great for you.

I bought this two years ago and am happy to say for the most part I am very satisfied with it. It does the job I bought it for and that is to hang on my patio door. Since I live in an apartment I didn't want to do a lot of damage to the door frame so this worked great, only problem I can see and tell you about is get a tube of crazy glue and before you hang it, crazy glue all the magnet covers or they'll come off and you'll lose your magnets that are inside of the shell. Its one of the better, inexpensive products I have bought, you'll be happy with it I think. If it weren't for the magnet covers coming apart I would give this product an excellent rating all the way.

I been searching online for a similar product because the RATING is so LOW, Everybody say don’t waste your money on this product! I search on Amazon, bug off Instant screen its like 35.22 + taxes it will be like 40 dollar. Then, I come up an Idea thinking I can make one my own!! Calculating the material costs, around 15-20 dollar, and having to worry about if it doesn’t work. And on their official website BUY 1 get 1 FREE!! What a good deal, 19.95 and you have TWO, BUT!! It doesn’t include S&H shipping and handling. And you have to pay for the extra 7.95 S&H for the free one, so it will cost $15.00 just for the shipping Itself. And we when on shopping trip to WALMART, and saw this product and thought I would just give it a try. Cons: before we setting it up, We know there are some problems, 1. Two Mesh Panels, They are the same length But the magnet doesn’t line up 100%,its more like 97%, so two panel doesn’t line up perfectly, little bit off. (I can deal with that) 2. Our door its 31inch, the mesh its more like 39 inch. (how should I deal with it) DON’T do what we did, take it as a tip. So we can’t set up like the instruction, because our door is smaller, or else it will be tape on outside of the door frame which is on the wall. We folded the side inward, so it will be tying it up, but it’s too tight that the magnet doesn’t come together. So we figure it should be loose. We redo the taping, the normal way, and we overlapping the top middle tape, so that the top pulling the magnets together all the way to the bottom. It WORKS! IT WORK like it’s on the commercial. I have 2 dogs, a collie and a golden retriever; it looks like they don’t need to learn how to use it, just come so naturally. They love it, we love it, I can really feel the breeze without worry about the annoying flies. HEY! just $14.00 not bad!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok I was skeptical at first but to be honest I love it. 1 it was the most simplest thing to install. 2 I can leave my door open and not worry about flies getting in. It will take my little old lady time to get use to it but now I don't have to run to the door and open it everything she wants to go out or come in lol. Now I need to go get a second one for my front door haha. Love love love will recommend to everyone.

I bought this over the summer, it was very easy to install, but the magnets keep popping off the screen, I wish they had glued them together when They made the item, it rips at the top and bottom of the screen very easily, and does not stay closed on windy days. I would not recommend this if you are putting it in a "busy" door way.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these. My dogs can go in and out with out bothering me every 10 minutes to take them out. while the inside is still protected from all the bugs coming in. But the only down side is that it is starting to show some wear and tear around the magnetic clasp.

I have had other brands of mesh screens like this before, and have been very happy. This one, however, I found to be very flimsy. The mesh is thin, and the panels are so narrow that they barely fit my normal-size door. The tacks are plastic & break easily. Black velcro on a white frame is unsightly. The idea is great, just pay a little more & get a better brand.

it looked great, but not a great product. it was definitely easy to install, and I like the Velcro.. but it was really awkward to walk through. only lasted a month for us with our Rottweiler and pit walking through to the yard from the porch. the screen material breaks really easy from the magnet curtain part. good if you won't use it often, but won't last for high traffic
