SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap

It reverted to open when locked

My year old cat has gone out in the night when flap should have been locked..Got up in the morning to find it had reset to opening for exit. I haven't seen him since and I am heartbroken.

Excellent product.

I read a lot of reviews before buying, and was a bit concerned that Rosie, quite a nervous pussy, would be scared by the click. When first installed I taped the flap open without batteries in the flap. When she had used it a few times I set it with the flap down and the catch taped down. Eventually I installed the batteries to activate the microchip reading function. Quite wary at first but after 2 weeks she now uses it without any fear. A quieter catch mechanism would be welcome.

Is it really worth having ?

After 3 years parts failing and they expect you to change them and will not replace unit regardless of the times it breaks, after their warranty which is only 3 years, that does not warrant a reasonable time, as trading standards states, so an expensive item to only last 3 years max.

Cool

At first, the sound of the latch opening scared my cats, it took them almost a week to learn, but once they got used to it, they go in and out whenever they want. Very happy with the purchase!

Perfect

I have been using this cat flap for 18 months, I have just changed the batteries for the first time (it is indoors on a door). Only one of my cats can pass and the other remains blocked. Exactly what i wanted! The chip reader works very well with the cat identification chip.

Cat hates it

Makes a loud noise whenever the lock opens scaring my cat. He wont use it. Poor.

Super practical

We traded our classic cat flap for it because our neighbour's cat spent its time with us. Super simple installation - in the hole already made for our old cat flap. Very simple chip registration too. For the moment everything is working perfectly, the neighbour's cat remains outside and we are delighted.

Very good quality product

Very good product. Our cat very easily pushes the door which closes well, the air does not pass.

Just what I needed

Thanks to this cat flap, the neighbour's cats do not get in and my cats feel safe inside the house without intruders

The best of the best

It's great my cats can go out when they want and come in when they want! It even makes the cats in the neighbourhood jealous because it is a very elegant cat flap!

Safe cat

thanks to this cat flap my cats feel safe at home. They are the only ones who can enter the house and find their kibble. they are more relaxed.....

Excellent

Here is my feedback after 1 1/2 years of use. Learning was rapid despite the noise of the slightly disturbing click at the start. My little cat uses it 5 to 10 times a day and the batteries are still original. No chip recognition problem, no failure. Product that meets 100% of my expectations. Only regret: that there is no facial recognition to prevent it from entering with a prey :)

Super !!!

A great invention and a feeling of freedom for our cat. He can come and go as he likes. Programming was child's play and he is immediately in and out as if he had never done anything else. Can highly recommend the flap.

Big positive surprise

I was a little worried that, as it often happens with such devices, everything looks cool only in advertising. The flap has already been in use for 4 months and works great. We have taught our cat to use it literally in a few days. Now when we enter the door, it enters through the flap. I would recommend. Finally, I know that our kitty has a safe shelter and that I only feed her and not the neighbours.

Works brilliantly

Set it up easily with my 2 cats . Just put some treats in the tunnel. Stops little Paddy from next door but one stealing my cats food. Sweet little cat but Greedy

Very good

Easy to instal, works as described. Our relatively small cats didn’t take long to learn to use it. It does click so if you have a cat who objects to snappy / clicking noises it might be an issue, but ours will sit next to us while we use power tools so it was no problem for them. Best of all, the big bad bully cat who kept coming in and terrorising ours is now kept out. Highly recommended.

VIP entrance!

With the price of this product I wanted to give it 6 months before reviewing.This has been such a great purchase!! It gives the cats their daytime freedom and they enjoy going through the the tunnel.I am happy as I know that nothing else can come in the house without the chip opening the door and the draft excluder on it is perfect at keeping the cold out. I've used 3 tunnel add ons for this on my back house wall and it's fine.The click people speak of is not an issue for my two cats (3yrs old)

Perfect

It works perfectly well, he learned to use it in a few days. If you want to use it without a chip: insert a battery, press a button, the lock will open. The battery must then be removed

Excellent product

Reiterating other reviews, this is a brilliant little cat flap. Mickey is a bit of a chubster, but still manages to get in & out easily. He was initially wary of the clicking noise as it unlocks, but has since realised what it is & isn’t bothered. I find it is sensitive, & can hear it clicking the minute his head is anywhere near the flap. It’s less draughty than the manual one & has various settings, so the negative reviews on that are misleading. I have a much calmer cat & no more intruders!

I love it.

Because of the negative opinions, I dared to buy it, a little scared, but I didn’t regret it. My cats use it with a microchip. After a simple memorisation, at the touch of a button, the animal can go through the door. They soon learned to use it.
