I bought this last year. I installed it into a piece of plywood and then installed the plywood into a window that is rarely used. My cat needs to jump up on fixed items to reach the platform next to the door and can then use the door to go in and out. This does not prevent raccoons from getting at the door but they aren't interested in climbing up to the platform so there is a degree of deterrence. They don't know what's up there so they leave it alone. The other cats in the area cant get into the house and sit at the door with a sad face waiting for my cat to go back outside. :D It's pretty comical. I may consider buying another door if the price comes back down a little. I could use this additional door at a secondary access point in the house, installed in reverse to keep kittens inside until they get chipped like their mom. Dual purpose.One suggestion: I use Switchbot products. One product I tried to install on the door was a door sensor. Since the door is curved, it was difficult to mount the base unit and sensor unit. The sensor unit fell off. The curved door is a design feature for the animal but if there was a small flat surface on the inside portion to mount a Switchbot door sensor, that would be helpful. The sensor lets me know when the cat goes in and out. Cheers.

This worked great. It replaced the old PetSafe door from many years ago. A nice refresh to upgrade our door. It fit the door depth and works great.

First off, I rarely write reviews, but I think this product deserves a review.I have 3 cats that spend time indoors and outdoors. It became a routine opening and closing doors all day long to let them in or out.I took the chance to invest in this item as I'm from the Caribbean and wasn't sure if the chips we use would work. I prefer not to use the collar with chip to avoid them getting tangled or loosing the easy release collars.I first contacted the vet to see if the chips match the codes provided in the summary on Amazon, but she wasn't sure. I went ahead and purchased the cat door and up until now I'm not disappointed.My cat's come and go as they please, and they complain far less, one cat in particular is very vocal about her wants. Installing this door has given her and the other two a piece of mind, not to mention my entire family😃.The only downside is how loud it unlocks, my reason for deducting a star. My cats also found it difficult to push through the door due to the strenght of the magnets, and how loud it bangs close once they enter or leave. One cat was discouraged by the sounds, so after some researching, I made some minor modifications.I removed one of the magnets and added a small sponge to the flaps where it hits when closing. As you can see in the picture I left one battery out to avoid them hearing the loud clicks when approaching the door. I will install the batteries once they are more comfortable using the door. I had to pin the door open the first couple days and place their food next to it, for them to get comfortable with the idea they can leave the house through it. They are slowly figuring out how to use it, however, they are not used to pushing with their heads so they use their paws to open it a little then walk through. I have to remind one cat occasionally how to use it by physically pushing her head gently against the door, but she's getting there.I installed it in 8 inch blocks, so I needed the additional accessories.It has only been 5 days, so I will give them about a week more before trying it with the batteries.Seriously this cat door is a game changer, my cat's are so quiet and seems much more stress free.I hope this review helps someone.

(Update)The microchip feature lasted 2 weeks and then stopped working. I contacted the brand and they sent me a new one and a collar key and the new one didnt work from the beginning and the key did nothing. Great customer service, not a great product.(Redacted)Its a bit loud and doesn't really unlock super quickly but its otherwise fine and keeps the wrong kitties out.

The hose is perfect for porch use. As when it's not in use, will not take up a lot of space.

I wanted to like this cat door. It got delivered pretty fast for an international delivery and it was a great price. It also seems well made. It got mostly good reviews, except for the ones where that cats got their paws or tails stuck and injuries happened. I can see how that would happen if your cat does not have enough room to go forward and get out of the way of the opening. I made a feeding box for my cat, rather than using this for an outside door. I wanted my two cats to be able to eat separately since one cat is on Science Diet and the other isn't. I taped my door open so the cat could learn how to go through it first. A few times, I saw how he would stop at the first kibble if there was some outside of the bowl. His tail was laying over the door/tunnel opening. It wasn't a problem since it was taped open.I am returning this door after having it long enough to see that my cat was struggling with getting his back leg over the ridge that is in the middle of the tunnel. It was a lot smaller that it seemed and yes, I paid attention to the dimensions. He would put his head in fine, then one front leg, but then he had to work a little to get his other front leg. he got that down a little better after a few days. The part he had the most trouble with was when he had to get his back legs in. He could get one leg in, but the last one, he really had to work to get it over a ridge that's right in the middle of the tunnel. Maybe a larger/taller door would work. He's a little over 9lbs, but he's not slim/lanky, though either. I wish the larger pet doors were comparable in price to this one.
