What reviewers say

Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?

Microchip Cat Flap Connect
4.3/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Recognizes microchips quickly and reliably once set up
  • Notifications for cat movement and low battery are dependable
  • Supports both microchips and RFID collars for flexibility
Reviewers push back
  • Hub requires a wired Ethernet connection, no Wi-Fi option
  • Wireless range between hub and flap is limited, forcing awkward hub placement
  • Initial syncing can be slow or unreliable if hub is too far from the flap
Reviewers agree this microchip cat flap reliably tells cats apart and reports their movements, though hub placement and range require care.
— best for: Multi-cat households wanting to control which pets go outside and track their movements will benefit most.

Cat flap installed and now been in operation over one month. It is genuinely one of the best purchases I have made in ages. It is an expensive item but it is worth it because of the superb quality and the peace of mind it provides to me knowing my cats are safe and I am able to track their activity. It is a sturdy door that my cats do not struggle to enter or exit via but it definitely stops other Elle · surepetcare.com
