Ok
They send you a few different sized pairs of screws (even though you would need four of the same type) and a completely inaccurate template for drilling/cutting the surface (probably for a deprecated model) where you want to install the adaptor.

No Microchip Key
Very well made item but Please be aware that this does not come with the microchip key and its not stated until you receive the item. It must be purchased at an extra cost and that's if one can be found as it seems to be out of stock everywhere So I my cat is unable to use this as if she goes out she is unable to get back in without the chip key
An excellent cat flap
Bought it for my parents to ensure only their cat can get in. They had a problem of neighbours' cats trespassing. Installation was easy and quick, and programming was easy as well. It works well.

PetSafe microchip cat flap
a real headache if you don't know how to scan a QR code,
a real headache to download the manual I had found online (and lost), with a bunch of weird steps to follow just to get the download, so I gave up halfway through...;
and a real headache to find the right product reference to search for the correct manual online
in short, this connected world just isn't for me,

Decent cat flap overall, but...
...the cat flap works fine, but here too the battery consumption has increased a lot after a few years. It doesn't matter if I put in expensive Duracell batteries, they're drained in no time.

Programming issue
Programming this cat flap is driving me crazy. I programmed the first chip and it worked fine, then I programmed the second chip, which also worked, but after that the first one stopped working. I tried to reprogram the first chip and now neither of them works. After hours of trying to reprogram everything, I can't take it anymore and I'm fed up with this product. I have no idea what to do next. Their documentation with the QR code doesn't give any clear instructions either.
Good luck to you all.

Stopped working after battery replacement, barely a year old.
Changed the battery as a precaution, it flashes red and gets stuck unlocked.

Microchip doesn't work during installation
We ordered a cat flap and installed it according to the instructions. The chip is detected and the flap’s indicator lights up green, but it still doesn’t open when the cat tries to go through. We tried adding an adapter as that was supposed to fix the problem, but it didn’t help. Now the neighbour’s cat has moved in as well, since we have to leave the flap on default open…

Battery Bug
Thing worked fine for a couple of years, but for the past six months this cat flap has been eating batteries 🪫 Tried all sorts of different ones, but probably the electronics have aged after a few years, causing this issue. Because of this, your cat can't get inside anymore, which is just sad.
I'm going to look for a different brand and model.

Doesn't really close
Several times it doesn't really swing back properly. It locks people in, but that's no help when the flap is on the wrong side of the locking latch.

IMPORTANT The plastic in front of the sensor becomes cloudy over time
I bought 2 cat flaps about 2 years ago.
I clearly had the same problem as some other people: recently, the cat flap started detecting my cat’s microchip randomly.
So I unscrewed a few screws and removed the plastic cover in front of the sensor, and now the cat flap works again.
Hope this helps.

Handy but manual button is flimsy
I bought the previous model 4 years ago. The manual button that lets you select the passage type (locked, entry, exit, entry and exit) is flimsy, and the clip that holds it in place broke after 18 months. Customer Service sent me a new one, but it only lasted 18 months as well; it just broke again and now Customer Service tells me they're out of stock and the part is no longer made.
Advice: switch to the current model!!!!!

Unfortunately a misalignment as it was only the batteries that were in the way
Very nice product

Ineffective
Bought it new, and right from installation I couldn't get it to work. Both my cats' microchips are registered and recognised by the cat flap, but it just refuses to open. The pins that are supposed to unlock the door from the outside to the inside don't drop, so it's basically useless. The only option is to leave it completely open, which just turns it into a regular cat flap that doesn't keep any animals out—making it a very expensive way to do nothing.

Excellent
I'm really happy with it! There are lots of cats in the neighbourhood, so it's ideal that the cat flap works with the chip. That way, no strange cats can ever come into my house. I really recommend it!
My cat had to get used to it for a little while, but after that it went well. She was able to go through it on her own easily within just two days.

Bad experience
The opening time is too long, which lets other cats come inside as well. Even after six months, my cat is only detected once after programming the chip. After that, not anymore. So, poor quality.

Poor quality
The batteries run out super quickly (even branded ones) and now it doesn't work at all after just one year! And this is the second one! Avoid this model.

Already stopped working and what about the warranty????
Doesn't work anymore, only opens the door once out of 20 times. The device is still under warranty but the Zooplus website is holding things up and not honouring the warranty. I am very dissatisfied. In the middle of a heatwave, my pets are stuck outside!

Malfunction
The system works maybe one time out of twenty, so our cat can’t get out and we’re even worried that the entry system, which is working for now, might stop working too. I really don’t recommend it at all!

Medallions not compatible with cat flap!
I ordered the cat flap along with the recommended tags, supposedly often bought together. After trying to register the tags, I contacted customer service who told me the products weren’t compatible because they’re from different brands! And they don’t sell compatible tags… nor a cat flap that works with the tags…

Stopped working after 2 and a half years
The cat flap detects the microchip when my cat comes near, but it doesn’t unlock. Very disappointed with this purchase.

600kr for a hole in my door
It’s terrible. The microchip function is useless because the pins that are supposed to lock it don’t lock properly. Even when it’s fully locked, my cat can still force it open. So now I’m stuck with a regular cat flap in my door.
