The product is praised for effectively keeping out unwanted cats while allowing access to your own pets. It’s easy to install and set up. However, some cats may be scared by the motor sound or hesitant to use it, especially if they need to put their head under the arch. Despite these issues, the product offers helpful features like a low battery warning and a manual mode, making it a generally reliable choice.

Unreliable
It works fine when the cat wants to leave, but it doesn't work every time when the cat wants to come back inside.

Poor unreliable controls
I would not recommend this to people. Overall it is very sturdy, and the first cat flap that has successfully stumped our little Houdini-cat, but the controls to set access are very unreliable and fiddly, and ultimately stopped working. The manual incorrectly states that the cat flap will revert to fully open without power - we have seen it die and leave our cat locked out. I would definitely not buy this again.
