Mag-Lite Reviews 21

Their new mini flashlight with non replaceable bulbs are crap. Both that I bought lost the negative contact at the bulb end after minimal use. The older version before the usual made to break down upgrade was great. Now I'd say don't waste your money.

They are a big rip off they don't back there warranty and wont answer the phone or emails

Bought four mag lights. One charger didn't work. The company does not stand by their warranty. They require you to send in the broken piece at your cost, so they can review to see if it warrants a return. Reached out to support and management only to be given the runaround with a ton of questions and waste of time. Will never purchase from them again.

Impossible to change batteries when they are stuck, and they are stuck because of the switch on/off system.

Despite previous problems with Maglite torches, I foolishly purchased a Mag-Tac. Once again, after only a few months of limited use, the switch failed, rendering the torch useless.

I have purchased ML150LR(X) MAG CHARGER RECHARGEABLE LED FAST-CHARGING MAGLITE FLASHLIGHT for $120. It doesn’t work. The cradle is crap of cheap plastic. I smell burn on first time battery charging.

I wrote a review describing what happened to me. They are hiding my one star review on the product page to scam potential customer. Tried again, and eventually concluded that they are blocking one and two stars reviews to be appeared to the public. I doubt in their full and four star reviews!

Their customer service is just like ok but there is no sign of cooperation and assistance and really intent to help as you feel when you deal with respective and good businesses.

Please be aware. I think Maglite became something from the past!

My flashlight, brand new, less than an hour use, two sets of fresh batteries, no misuse, started cutting off inexplicably. My first warranty email went completely unanswered. My second email was less than satisfactory, borderline insulting. The warranty is a huge process to send it back at your cost, with again your contact information and yet another description of the problem, to see what they might want to even do for your case. It's costly, time intensive and poor customer service. It's not easy, fast and streamlined. Maglite makes it exceptionally difficult in standing by their products.

Complete Garbage! Buy throw aways because if you buy mag light you’ll be throwing it away anyway. Warranty means nothing to mag light!

I have bought several mag lite flashlight. My last purchase, the flashlight has defective circuits where it blinks. I have sent Mag Lite USA messages and they do not respond, meaning their 10 year warranty does not exist.
I will never again buy a Mag Lite.

i am placing my order again and again ...You guys canceled my order. You don't tell me about my problem on calls.
why did you guys cancel my order???.you said It could be something like the billing address isn't in the U.S .or we suggest that you contact your bank to clear up any issues before placing a new order. i am using another payment card for order but still its not working .

Absolute Junk! 😤
Bought a very expensive and large Maglite torch. Used one lot of batteries until replacement time came & then the issues came about. I simply cannot remove the large batteries from the torch, rendering it completely useless and for the bin. And No they haven’t leaked & they’re decent Duracell batteries. A complete waste of good money which could’ve been spent on a decent torch elsewhere. I’ve tried prizing them out but they’re stuck flush inside of the torch. I’ve tried scalding hot water (which isn’t ideal) but had to resort to desperate measures to remove them. I’ve tried smacking the torch against the stair case, but as it’s big and heavy I’m worries I will do damage to stairs. If you want a decent torch that will last more the one battery life look elsewhere. No known UK way of contacting them either. POOR! 👎🏼

I have a model ML50L maglite flashlight. The light will not work when it is about 35 degrees F. At this temperature it will come on for a few seconds and turn off. I sent it to the warranty department with an explanation of the problems. They cleaned the on/off switch and returned it, stating that nothing was wrong. I put it in the refrigerator and cooled it down. Still does not work. Guess it was too complicated for the warranty specialist. Good light if you live in a continuously warm climate. Otherwise it is not dependable. Would send it back but don't want to waste another $6.00 in shipping

Brilliant torches, amazing quality.

I have 3 of different sizes. Last forever and do the job perfectly.

Unfortunately Maglite Warranty is not worth the paper it is written on if you live in the UK.

You will be asked to contact Burton McCall Ltd and they are completely uninterested in any problems.

After being happy with many cheaper Maglites over the years, I purchased a LED pro version which is not cheap! The battery cap became stuck and without even looking at it Burton McCall Ltd using some sort of telepathic powers decided battery leakage is the problem which is not covered under warranty.

Since looking online lots of people seem to have the same problem with the battery cap which makes me question is it thousands of batteries going faulty around the world or is it a bad design!!!

Best LED torches. I packed 10 of them in my car.

LED torch went pants up. Quick email, return, replacement promptly received. Rare and very welcome slice of customer service excellence in this day and age.

I just had the most amazing experience with Maglite.
I've had the two biggest Maglites for 20 years. A few days ago, I discovered that the batteries had leaked in both Maglites rendering them useless. I haven't used them for a while.
I searched the internet looking for a possible solution, when on Maglites www I read that they will exchange Maglites if it was Duracell batteries that had leaked.
I was a bit sceptical, since it was so long ago that I bought the flashlights.
I sent them to Maglite in Denmark, and two days later i received two brand new Maglites.
To me, that is customer service that goes above and beyond what I had expected even in my wildest dreams.
Thank you!
